Leonard Bernstein Who Am I Lyrics

Funny, the thoughts I have at night.
So different than the thoughts I have by day.
The moment mama switches off the light,
A thousand different questions come my way,
And stay.

Who Am I?
Was it all planned in advance
Or was I just born by chance
In July?
Oh, who on earth am I?
Did I ever live before
As a mountain lion or
As a flow'r?
My friends only think of fun,
They're all such incurable tots.
Can I be the only one
Who thinks these mysterious thoughts? Someday I'll die.
Will I ever live again
As a rooster or a hen
Or a lion in a den
Or a robin or a wren
Or a fly?
Oh, Who Am I?

(instrumental break)

My friends only think of fun,
They're all such incurable tots.
Can I be the only one
Who thinks these mysterious thoughts?
Someday I'll die.
Will I ever live again
As a rooster or a hen
Or a lion in a den
Or a robin or a wren
Or a fly?
Oh, Who Am I?
