[The Nurse]
Ha, ha, ha! I hear you laugh!
Ha, ha, ha! Such a childish laugh
You don't understand what it means to love
You should not make fun of the heart
Ha, ha, ha! You are so cocksure
I've met imbeciles who are more mature
You live half a life, you walk in the shade
If the game of love isn't ever played
You should heed my words

[Benvolio]
Ha, ha, ha! Well, that is rich
What can we hope to learn from this worn-out witch?
Handsome Romeo is just having fun
There'll be this one, and then another one
Love is for the birds

[All]
Ugly or beautiful
Life is all twists and turns
No map to show us where to go
Where will life lead us?
Who's to know?

Ugly or beautiful
We're all afraid of love
We guard against it with our lives
But we thank God when it arrives
[The Nurse]
Ha, ha, ha! What can I do?
'Ha ha ha' is all I get from you
You are fools to think love is just a joke
One day all your dreams will go up in smoke
Laughter turns to screams

[Mercutio]
Ha ha ha! Love is just a phase
With the young it can last for days
Lovers' tears aren't real, and their pain's not deep
It's a time to laugh, not a time to weep
They dream harmless dreams

[All]
Ugly or beautiful
Life is all twists and turns
No map to show us where to go
Where will life lead us?
Who's to know?

Ugly or beautiful
We're all afraid of love
We guard against it with our lives
But we thank God when it arrives
[Benvolio]
Ugly or beautiful
We're all afraid, afraid of love

[Mercutio]
Love is only for the birds

[All (Mercutio)]
Ugly or beautiful (Ugly or beautiful)
Life is all twists and turns (We're all afraid)
No map to show us where to go (Where)
Where will life lead us
Who's to know?

Ugly or beautiful (Ugly or beautiful, ugly or beautiful)
We're all afraid of love
We guard against it with our lives (We're all afraid)
But we thank God when it arrives
