Caroline, or Change the Musical - Why Does Our House Have A Basement? Lyrics
NOAH:
Why does our house have a basement?
Underground is underwater.
This is where the Great Plains end
In the Gulf of Mexico.
ROSE:
Go to sleep now, go to sleep.
NOAH:
Rose?
ROSE:
Noah?
NOAH:
If there's only water underground,
Is my mother buried underwater?
ROSE:
Don't be silly, she's safe and sound,
They buried her above the ground,
In a dry little house;
Not even a mouse can get in , I bet.
Listen, your daddy's clarinet?
NOAH:
Good night, Caroline.
CAROLINE:
Go to bed, Noah. Stop botherin the night.
NOAH:
I'm glad you came back to work today.
Sorry I hid from you.
CAROLINE:
Some day you won't.
Someday we'll talk again.
Just gotta wait.
NOAH:
Will we be friends then?
CAROLINE:
Weren't never friends.
MOON: (with WASHING MACHINE below)
Household rules and small decrees,
Unsuspecting bring us these secret, little tragedies.
WASHING MACHINE: (with MOON above)
Household rules and small decrees,
Unsuspecting bring us these
Costly, quiet victories.
NOAH:
Caroline?
CAROLINE:
Mmm?
NOAH:
What's it like underwater?
