View Lyrics
(Sung) She asks how I am. And so: how am I? My days are the usual days. I wake up, I go out. Time goes by.
My days are exactly the days I have lived since arriving here. In fact, how I am is amazed how this comforts me year by year. I work and I eat. Life is muffins and jam. The house is nice and quiet now. That is how I am.
Five years in these rooms reading Hegel and Kant. My mind is devoted to thoughts of the meaning of life. What more could I want? So why is it lately I find I'm uneasy all through the night? And why even now does my skin feel explosive as dynamite? Why does my heart pound like a battering ram? How can she ask me how I am? How I am is fine!
(Begins to write a letter back) 'Dear Miss March, there is nothing dramatic or new to report. This will be short. Morning and evening I live in my usual way. On the day you return you will see for yourself! Tell me, Miss March, are you happy so far From the clang and the beat of our turbulent street? Quite often I think of our days in New York. Though of course since you went I have quite content.'
(Rips the letter up) ACH! I wake up in the morning and all that I hear is the absence of sound. YES! My peace is disturbed but the ruckus is me as my thought run aground. I wanted a life by myself in these rooms. But now all around me another life looms. Who asked her to come and go and to leave me like that? And now she expects me to send her a note? With words, if I spoke, that would stick in my throat! Who asked her to change how I live, how I think, how I am?
She asks how I am. How can I reply? I go through my daily routine. I give lessons, I wait. Time goes by.
Yet lately I find there is pleasure in humming a silly tune. And some days I go to the park and I sit there all afternoon. Some evenings I swear I can hear a door slam. The house is far to quiet now. That is how I am.

View Lyrics
Funny, Who could see that this pathetic scene would be So funny Once you strain to find the grain of humor Underneath Life double crosses with style Forcing you into a smile So it can kick you in the teeth
Just desserts We can all laugh till it hurts At my expense I'm accustomed to working on "spec" I always pick up the check
I think it's funny Who could top or make this comic op'ra more Compelling You could weave in some deceit to even up the Score
You'd have us all on the floor That would be roaringly funny Sad enough my life's a joke that suffers in the telling Just another hoary chestnut from the bottom drawer I've heard so often before That I can't laugh anymore

Kerchak has just exiled Tarzan from the gorilla clan.
View Lyrics
KALA (spoken) Wheres Tarzan? Where is he?
KERCHAK No turning back Whats done is done I have seen what they can do He can't be saved by you, by me It's too late
KALA (spoken) No, I wont let you do this. How can you think-
KERCHAK No more fighting. I'll be obeyed I'll stand my ground Don't dare defy me I know his kind I know the truth I will protect us
No other way Open your eyes It's there to see No other way He's not one of us And never will be
KALA (spoken) Just listen to me
KERCHAK No more to say He is what he is And that won't change There's no other way I am leaving him here And here he'll stay
KALA (spoken) Hes just a child
KERCHAK He was up in the trees Making a weapon And in time it is us He will hurt
KALA (spoken) No
KERCHAK Nothing and no one Will stop him becoming What he is And was by blood
No other way He won't come between me And those I love Believe me when I say With my body and soul This I vow
KALA (spoken) But I need him!
KERCHAK No, no other way And in spite of your pain It will be done
No matter what you say He never was or could be Be my son There is no other way
I won't let him near the rest of the tribe again
KALA I understand
KERCHAK Where are you going?
KALA To find him We'll live away from the family
KERCHAK For how long?
KALA For as long as he needs me
KERCHAK You can't. I wont be able to protect you Kala don't do this. Please.
KALA Kerchak I'm his mother
KERCHAK No other way I should have done this before Long ago And from today Though they'll think of me cruel They won't know There was no other way.

Where can I go that you won't find me? Why can't I find a place to hide? Why do you want to chase me, haunt me? Every step there, beside me.
Where in the world, tell me, where in the world Can I live without your love? Where on the earth, tell me where on the earth Should I stay now that you are gone?
Why did I have to meet you, love you? Why can't I rid you from my mind? Why did you have to want me? Won't you let me put my life behind me?
How in the world, tell me how in the world Can I live without your love? Why on the earth, tell me, why on the earth Should I stay now that you are gone? Now that you are...
(spoken) Lily, is that you?

Juno laments that she cannot find love in Olympus or Earth.
View Lyrics
The cock is chasing the chicken The pea wakes up, pee-wee-wee The cat is taking a lickin' But nobody's taking me.
Nobody wants to own me And I object Nobody wants to phone me Even collect.
The leopard's chasing the leopard The chimp, some chap chimpanzee The sheep is chasing the shepherd But nobody's chasing me. Nobody! Nobody's chasing me.
The flood is chasing the levy The wolf is out on a spree The Ford is chasing the Chevvy But nobody's chasing me.
The bee is chasing petunias The queen is chasing the bee The worm is chasing the lettuce But nobody's chasing me.
Each night I get the mirror From off the shelf Each night I'm getting queerer, Chasing myself.
Ravel is chasing Debussy The avid chases the pee The gander's chasing the goosey But nobody's goosing me. Nobody! Nobody's chasing me.
The la is chasing the lama Papa is chasing Mama Monseur is chasing Madame But nobody's chasing moi.
The dove, each moment, is bolder The lark speaks muy petite Triston is chasing Isolde But nobody's chasing me.
Although I may be Juno, Believe it or not, I got a lot of you-know And you-know-what.
The snake, with passion, is shaking The pooch is chasing the flea The moose his love call is making But nobody's making me. Nobody! Nobody's chasing me!

I'm trying to keep sane as the rules keep changing Families aren't what they were Thank God there's a husband and a child whom I adore But then there's more So many more There's always more

I hold to the ground As the ground keeps shifting Keeping my balance square Trying not to care about this man who Marvin loves But that's my life He shared my life Yes, that's my life
Life is never what you planned Life is moments you can't understand And that is life

Five years in these rooms reading Hegel and Kant. My mind is devoted to thoughts of the meaning of life. What more could I want? So why is it lately I find I'm uneasy all through the night?

With words, if I spoke, that would stick in my throat! Who asked her to change how I live, how I think, how I am?
She asks how I am. How can I reply? I go through my daily routine. I give lessons, I wait. Time goes by.
Yet lately I find there is pleasure in humming a silly tune. And some days I go to the park and I sit there all afternoon. Some evenings I swear I can hear a door slam. The house is far to quiet now. That is how I am.
