A Lonely Goatherd

High on a hill was coughing actress

Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo

Loud was her voice through the sickly grossness

Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo.....

Yes, today we sang and choreographed the Lonely Goatherd. I love the song- it might be my favorite song in the show- but today the song did not love me. After each verse, the hills echoed with my glorious hacking. This Maria is in serious need of a cough drop.

Luckily, the children are still cute. I mean, just look at them-

So- today the hills were alive with...

One little girl with a real sore throat heard

Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo

Kids smiled back and wildly gestured

Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo

In came Bruce and a lion roar heard

Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo

But the play he must have misheard

Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo....

It was one of those nights.

Cough drops and Lederhosen,
