Singer of the Sacred Heart
Cloze Exercize

See how many words you can fill in without looking at the complete song. The number of dashes gives you a clue about the number of letters in the word. There is also a dash where an apostrophe is needed.

You can still hear _ _ _ sound of her accordion _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Each afternoon by the _ _ _ _ _ _ stairs
She plays a battered _ _ _ _ _ grey Hohner
Same colour _ _ her hair

She's got the case _ _ _ _ open at her feet
_ _ _ people throw money in _ _ they rush by her
_ _ _ _ _ got a postcard pinned _ _ the lining
Of the _ _ _ _ _ _ _ with his heart on fire

CHORUS:

She's the singer of _ _ _ sacred heart
And you _ _ _ hear a little melody
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ out on her accordion
Down at Berri de Montigne

Oh, listen to her _ _ _ _
Listen to it ringing _ _ _ _ _ _ _ the whole subway
_ _ _ _ _ _ to her play
Throw _ dollar or two her _ _ _
She's the singer of _ _ _ sacred heart

Did her _ _ _ _ _ say it wasn't right
_ _ _ a girl to play _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ day and night
But _ _ _ _ _ were things her mamma _ _ _ _ _ _ know
How times can _ _ _ _ _ _ , how a life can go.

Now she's playing for _ _ _ saviour and she's playing _ _ _ the rent
And she _ _ _ _ _ _ as you throw in _ _ _ _ fifty cents
That old accordion _ _ like her heart, squeezed _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ and pulled apart

CHORUS

In _ _ _ middle of the rush _ _ _ haste
There's no room _ _ _ the old and the _ _ _ of face
But she _ _ _ _ _ _ a little candle, says _ little prayer
Picks up _ _ _ accordion and heads down _ _ _ stairs.

CHORUS
