Let's say you're at a pie contest, let's say that you're the judge

And there's lemon, lime and watermelon rind,

And one that looks like fudge

You can't tell which pie you like the best

If you only eat the crust

In order to complete the test a bite of filling is a must

(a bite of filling is a must)



Chorus:

Inside, inside, that's the most important part

Inside, inside, that's the place you've got to start

Inside, inside, that's where you'll find the heart of the matter



Let's say you're at a birthday party

And let's say you've just turned eight

And there are presents everywhere and all of them look great

You can't tell which one's your favorite

By just looking at the bow

To pick one out from all the rest unwrap each present,

Then you'll know

(unwrap each present then you'll know)



Chorus



Children are the very best, each one a joy and pride

Just how we know, i bet you guessed:

We took the time to look...

(inside!)



Chorus



Let's say you're at a library

And there's stacks and stack of books

There's even stacks on top of stacks everywhere you look

There are stories about mystery and sports and famous lovers

To pick one out from all the rest

You've got to open up the covers

(you've got to open up the covers!)



Chorus
