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?
