Malvina Reynolds citations

And that I have my own special thing,
And there's no hole in my head.
Too bad.”

Give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away,
You end up having more.

Lend it, spend it, and you'll have so many
They'll roll all over the floor.”

“And there's doctors and lawyers,
And business executives,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.”

“If you are a piano,
You will laugh on ev'ry string,
And if you are a girl or boy,
You'll sing.”

“Little man stood at the Mayor's door,
No one had ever seen him before,
Dressed in clothes of a gayer mood
Than ever are seen in Hollywood.”
