Art Koop - Finding the Pieces Lyrics

Your interlocking building blocks would be scattered on the floor
You were making another masterpiece you'd work at for an hour
Some small but essential pieces seemed impossible to find
You would call on us to help you, and in a way I didn't mind
Finding the pieces, searching most unlikely places
Spending time down on our knees, hoping to find them
Knowing you would be so pleased
Sometimes one of your brothers, with a keen and practiced eye
Would see one camouflaged in carpet, and would kindly bring it by
Or sometimes it was your mother, on a break, taking the time
Or we would find some other way to make your build sublime
Finding the pieces, searching most unlikely places
Spending time down on our knees, hoping to find them
Knowing you would be so pleased
Now you have gotten bigger, and your projects bigger too
You work so hard on all the problems life presents to you
Some small but essential pieces may seem difficult to find
You can call on us to help you, cuz you know we wouldn't mind
Finding the pieces, searching most unlikely places
Spending time down on our knees, hoping to find them
Knowing you would be so pleased
Finding the pieces, searching most unlikely places
Spending time down on our knees, hoping to find them
Knowing you would be so pleased
