VALERIE (LITTLE MATCH GIRL):

Wouldn’t you think
Tonight of all nights
When the snow lays a blanket
On the ice-laden street lights
Wouldn’t you think
That a match would come in
handy in the dark?

Excuse me sir, pardon me
Would you like to see my matches
for sale?

Doesn’t anybody...
doesn’t anybody need...
doesn’t anybody need some light tonight?

Wouldn’t you think
Tonight of all nights
When the world throws a party
Burning candles till daylight
Wouldn’t you think
That a match would come in handy after dark?

Excuse me miss, pardon me
Would you like to see my matches for sale?

Doesn’t anybody...
doesn’t anybody need...
doesn’t anybody need some light tonight?

I’m out of place as a bird of paradise
Perching on the ice
Unwanted merchandise

Excuse me ma’am,
I’m sorry gents
Pardon me,
I mean no offense
I’ve got matches at the very lowest price

Doesn’t anybody...
doesn’t anybody need...
doesn’t anybody need some light?
