Little Me, BIG Shadow!

Smarty Party! Tonight's show needs a giant monster! ...My costume won't fit through the door. Fine. I'll go tiny. Light leaves the lamp in a straight, straight line, It won't bend around me, not a single time! So I step in the way and I block that beam: Now there's a me-shaped hole on the screen! A shadow's not a thing, it's a place, you know— It's the spot where the light can't go! Little me! BIG SHADOW! Step up to the lamp and watch me grow! Little me! BIG SHADOW! The closer to the light, the bigger the show! I'm a pocket-size star, but I'm filling the wall— Little me... BIG SHADOW! Right up by the screen, it's just about my size, Step toward the lamp, and watch that shadow rise! Halfway from the lamp? Now it's double my height! A quarter from the lamp? Four times! What a sight! Near the lamp, the edges get fuzzy and wide, Back by the screen, they're sharp on every side! Little me! BIG SHADOW! Step up to the lamp and watch me grow! Little me! BIG SHADOW! Closer to the light, the bigger the show! I'm a pocket-size star, but I'm filling the wall— Little me... BIG SHADOW! Oh-oh-oh, watch it grow! BIG SHADOW! Oh-oh-oh, watch it grow! BIG SHADOW! Hold up a plate: it's a big round moon, Turn it on its edge: just a line! Gone too soon! Plate for a head and a fork for the hair, A cup for a nose... it's Forkenstein! Beware! For a thousand years, by a flickering flame, From China to Java, they've played this game: Little leather heroes on a lamp-lit screen... Grab a flashlight and a wall this Halloween! Little me! BIG SHADOW! Step up to the lamp and watch me grow! Little me! BIG SHADOW! The closer to the light, the bigger the show! I'm a pocket-size star, but I'm filling the wall— Little me... BIG SHADOW! Oh-oh-oh, watch it grow! BIG SHADOW! Oh-oh-oh, watch it grow! BIG SHADOW! Thank you! You've been a wonderful crowd! ...One small problem. My shadow wants its own dressing room. Smarty Party Songs!
