Peter, Paul & Mary - Inside lyrics

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]
