This is a learning track, specifically for the person learning the role of Wilbur. Wilbur would practice with this when he's comfortable.

lyrics

Scene II
Words by Jim Fox
Music by John Paul Sharp

Lisa: 
you make the web go? how do you do it? 
are there squirrels there? like a the power plant? 
or is it energy? like when the sun shines,
and the grapes fill, dreaming of fine wine? 
Wilber: 
no cute rodents, but lots of kittens
keep the sun behind you to see the rainbow
of the internet and all that follows
it's all just ones or else it's zeros
Lisa: 
so philosophical! and from a coder
i'll stick with practical until I'm older
Wilbur: 
you call up strangers and sell our widgets
how do you do it? i'd get all flustered!
Lisa: 
like when you spoke to me and didn't know my name
first you listened, then you were friendly
it's helps to take yourself a bit less seriously
Wilbur: 
so philosophical! yet so practical. 
a taste of reefer has helped me see it
now about Mr. B who watches out for me,
a bit less seriously just might set him free
Lisa: 
How about my Lady G all up in pin-stripes
as if that's all you wear! when climbing ladders
anyone can see, if they looked carefully
she'd climb more easily if she wore leather!
Wilbur: 
Hey, my man, in that cabover Pete,
yer rig's makin' smake that ain' so sweet
the grate on your right, it needs some care
my homies inside get the air from there
Lisa: 
my brave new Wilbur! might be a coder
but when he needs to, he's something bolder
and when that Pete moves, and our grate is free
i see opportunity for Misses G and B
Wilber: 
So quick is Lisa, she could be a coder.
still I'm thinking and have to wonder
the vent is so tall, the vent is so wide
our little stash here would get lost inside
Lisa: 
This is Washington, there's a store next door. 
Lisa & Wilbur: 
There's something in the air that wasn't there before.
Soon our garden, now so full of gloom
will soon be verdant and everywhere in bloom
