Advice From a Caterpillar

Lyrics

[CATERPILLAR] Oooooh whoo Who are you? [LEGS] Who are you? [ALICE] A tenant, I don't suppose you're the super [CATERPILLAR] Who are you? [LEGS] Who are you? [ALICE] Apartment 8A, as in Alice Look I can't seem to find a service elevator But I'm hoping that whatever comes down must go up [CATERPILLAR] Who are you? [LEGS] Who are you? are you? [ALICE] Seems that I should be asking you that question [CATERPILLAR] Identity is a tricky, tricky business You think you are somebody 'til suddenly you're not You're not your name and you're not your address 'Cause the you who you remember is who you forgot Heed this advice from a... a caterpillar I know a thing or two of metamorphosis Fool's paradise is you standing stiller While the river rushing round you is the thing you miss [ALICE] The way you talk sounds like a fortune cookie Instead of how things really are [LEGS] Tell us who are you [CATERPILLAR] Well pardon me let's take a look and see How the you that you been workin' workin' out so far Life is like jazz, things Are always changing Just when you learn the tune it's time to modulate Razzamatazzriffs are rearanging When the melody is simple, then don't complicate [LEGS] So who are you? You? Tell us True, Tell us True [ALICE] It seems to me you only speak in riddles And never answer me at all [CATERPILLAR] The more things change, the more they stay the same From a distance you look smaller, but you're just as tall [LEGS] Tell us who are you? [CATERPILLAR] So who are you? I´ll repeat, repeat the question [LEGS] So tell us who you are? [CATERPILLAR] Are you prepared to tell me what you're looking for? [LEGS] Tell us what you are looking for? [CATERPILLAR] You need a clue, well then here´s my suggestion If you can't see what's in front of you them look some more OOH ooh (spoken) Hear what I'm saying girl You think we brought you here so you can sit back and relax? [LEGS] Be you ever so quick With vision keen By your eyes we are never seen Unless per chance It should comes to pass You see our reflection in a looking glass [CATERPILLAR] Tell you whatcha do Every time or two While you're passing through From your point of view Find out Who are [CATERPILLAR & LEGS] You?
