Inside Lyrics - Around The Campfire - Peter, Paul & Mary

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
