Mother! Mother! We have found you at last
Virginia? Maggie? Julie?
And Charu Ma the cook also
Charu Ma
All present Mother
How wonderful to see you all! But... but don't you have school today?
We've left school, Mother
What!? Don't tell me you're getting married already?
No, no, no, no, no! No way! We've come to join you
Join me? No. Are you crazy?
Mother, we've given this a lot of thought
Yes; please don't send us away
But this is not a place for young girls
Mother! We're not children anymore
No! We're not
We are here, we're not going away (That's right!)
We're not here, just for a day (No way!)
We are here, Mother, we've come to stay
To stay forever
Forever and a day
Now you are not alone
Oh you are not alone
No, you are not alone
Let's beat that drum (Rat-ta-tam!)
We shall overcome (Rat-ta-tam!)
Bring on the slum
Because now
You are not alone
Oh, I've understood, Lord! The girls are my sign! Thank you
What sign, Mother?
Oh, never mind that right now. I'm so happy to see you!
But... could you really live and work here, girls?
Of course
There's nothing else we'd rather do
Than be right here and work with you
You've taught us values Mother
What's right and wrong
We've been in classrooms
For much too long
Now you are not alone
No, you are not alone
Oh, you are not alone
You've taught us to care
For those who despair
Let's say a little prayer, because now
You are not alone
Well, all I can offer you is a big welcome my girls
Thank you, thank you Mother
It's so nice to be with you
We're together again
Shoo-be-doo-bop, do-bop, do-bop, do-bop
Shoo-be-doo-bop, do-bop, do-bop, do-bop
Shoo-be-doo-bop, do-bop, do-bop, do-bop
Shoo-be-doo-bop, do-bop, do-bop, do-bop
Aaaaah, aaaaah, aaaaah
You are not alone
No, you are not alone
You are not alone
Now we are five
More will arrive
We'll keep this alive
Because now
You are not a
We are not a
I beg to differ!
But - we are not five
We are six
He's here to fix our cricks
Yes! We - are -not - a - looooooooone
