Tim Rice & Andrew Lloyd Webber What's The Buzz / Strange Thing Mystifying Lyrics

(APOSTLES)
What's the buzz
Tell me what's a-happening

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

(APOSTLES)
When do we
Ride to Jerusalem?

(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

(MARY MAGDALENE)
Let me try
To cool down your face a bit

(JESUS)
That feels nice, so nice
Mary, oooh, 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

(JUDAS)
It seems to me a strange thing, mystifying
That a man like you can waste his time on women of her kind.
Yes, I can understand that she amuses,
But to let her kiss you, stroke your hair, that's hardly in your line.
It's not that I object to her profession,
But she doesn't fit in well with what you teach and say.
It doesn't help us if you're inconsistent.
hey only need a small excuse to put us all away.

(JESUS)
Who are you to criticise her?
Who are you to despise her?
Leave her, leave her, let her be now.
Leave her, leave her, she's with me now.
If your slate is clean, then you can throw stones.
If your slate is not, then leave her alone!

I'm amazed that men like you
Can be so shallow, thick, and slow
There is not a man among you
Who knows or cares if I come or go

(APOSTLES, EXCEPT JUDAS)
No you are wrong
You're very wrong
How can you say that!
How can you say that!

(JESUS)
Not one, not one of you!
