A Puzzlement (Reprise)
[PRINCE]
There are time I almost think
They are not sure of what they absolutely know
[LOUIS]
I believe they are confused
About conclusions they concluded long ago
[PRINCE]
If my father and your mother are not sure of what they absolutely know
Can you tell me why they fight?
[LOUIS]
They fight to prove that what they do not know is so!
[PRINCE]
Oh-hhhhh!
Sometimes I think that people going mad
[LOUIS]
Ah-h-h-h-h-h!
Sometimes I think that people [speaks]-not so bad
[PRINCE]
But not matter what I think
I must go on living life
And someday as a leader I must go forth
Be father to my children and husband to each wife
Etcetera, etcetera, and so forth
If my Lord in Heaven Buddha, show the way
Everyday I try to live another day
If my Lord in Heaven Buddha, show the way
Everyday I do my best for one-more day!
But—
[LOUIS, spoken]
Is a puzzlement
