Stephen Sondheim
Live Alone And Like It
[MALE VOCALIST]
Live alone and like it
Free as the birds in the trees
High above the briars
Live alone and like it
I do whatever I please
When my heart desires
Free to hang around or fly at any old time
No equivocation
Most of all no guarantees
That's my only motto
Free of obligation
Only the murmuring breeze
As an obbligato
Live alone and like it—
Why is that such a crime?
Free to call the tune
Free to say if I'm gonna work or play
I can have the moon
But I don't have to have it night and day
Anyway
What I like is gliding
Where the wind takes me to
Flying high and hiding
Up in a tree
Live alone and like it
That's the answer for me
Don't come out of that tree
That's the answer for me
Hoo doo doo doo doo dee
Don't come out of that tree
That's the answer for me
Hoo be doo be doo dee
Don't come out of that tree
That's the answer for me
