REFUGEES (Company)

Bonny:
It will soon be light
The moon is scraping the trees
Just when our eyes got used to the dark
Our dreams turn us out and we are now refugees

And what will become of my friends

ALL: What will become of Henry?

Henry:
My friends are growing taller
My dog is going blind
It's no use getting older
I'll always be behind

I'll make me one last sandwich
A farewell tunafish
I'll tie my dog around my neck
And jump off of a bridge

All:
And what will become of John Luke?

John Luke:
I'm humpin all creation
I'm humpin every chance I get as fast as I can
I'm humpin the sky
I'm humpin the land
And then I'm so exhausted I fall back on my hand

I'm pumpin the population
I'm ballin girls and woman small medium tall
I'm ballin every corner
I'm humpin down the hall
And then I go berserk I just bang bang it on the wall
(Knock knock, who's there)

All:
And what will become of Wayne?
You're going to
(I'm going to)
A special school
(A special school)
For children who are gifted
There you'll be trained
