Lyrical Thought 4

What's the Buzz -- Jesus Christ Superstar
Andrew Lloyd Webber

APOSTLES

What's the buzz?
Tell me what's a-happening. (Repeat 8 times)

JESUS

Why should you want to know?
Don't you mind about the future?
Don't you try to think ahead?
Save tomorrow for tomorrow;
Think about today instead.

APOSTLES

What's the buzz?
Tell me what's happening. (Repeat many times)

JESUS

I could give you facts and figures.
Even give you plans and forecasts.
Even tell you where I'm going.

APOSTLES

When do we ride into Jerusalem? (Repeat many times)

JESUS

Why should you want to know?
Why are you obsessed with fighting
Times and fates you can't defy?
If you knew the path we're riding,
You'd understand it less than I.

APOSTLES

What's the buzz?
Tell me what's happening. (Repeat many times)

MARY MAGDALENE

Let me try to cool down your face a bit. (Repeat 5 times)

JESUS

Mary that is good,
While you prattle through your supper,
Where and when and who and how.
She alone has tried to give me
What I need right here and now.

APOSTLES

What's the buzz?
Tell me what's happening. (Repeat many times)

  2. Re: Eh, it's been done....
    Ah yes, but my lyrical thoughts are not the same as your sing-a-longs. Mine correspond to my thought patterns at the time.

  3. Re: Eh, it's been done....
    Actually, to be picky, the above were NOT sing alongs :). Also, to be anal, this is your second "Lyrical Thoughts 3".
    And believe me, in many cases my Sing Alongs follow my mood/emotions/etc. Not always, to be true (especially at this stage in the game, when I've done so many of the ones I think about a lot), but a fair number.
