paroles de chanson A Puzzlement - Richard Rodgers , Oscar Hammerstein II
When
I
was
a
boy,
world
was
better
spot
What
was
so
was
so,
what
was
not
was
not
Now,
I
am
a
man,
world
have
changed
a
lot
Some
things
nearly
so,
others
nearly
not
There
are
times
I
almost
think
I
am
not
sure
of
what
I
absolutely
know
Very
often
find
confusion
In
conclusion,
I
concluded
long
ago
In
my
head
are
many
facts
That,
as
a
student,
I
have
studied
to
procure
In
my
head
are
many
facts
Of
which
I
wish
I
was
more
certain,
I
was
sure
Is
a
puzzlement
What
to
tell
growing
son?
What
for
instance,
shall
I
say
to
him
of
women?
Shall
I
educate
him
on
the
ancient
lines?
Shall
I
tell
the
boy
as
far
as
he
is
able
To
respect
his
wives
and
love
his
concubines?
Shall
I
tell
him
everyone
is
like
the
other
And
the
better
of
the
two
is
really
neither?
If
I
tell
him
this
I
think
he
won't
believe
it
And
I
nearly
think
that
I
don't
believe
it
either
When
my
father
was
a
king
He
was
a
king
who
knew
exactly
what
he
knew
And
his
brain
was
not
a
thing
Forever
swinging
to
and
fro
and
fro
and
to
Shall
I,
then
be
like
my
father
And
be
willfully
unmovable
and
strong?
Or
is
it
better
to
be
right?
Or
am
I
right
when
I
believe
I
may
be
wrong?
Shall
I
join
with
other
nations
in
alliance?
If
allies
are
weak,
am
I
not
best
alone?
If
allies
are
strong
with
power
to
protect
me
Might
they
not
protect
me
out
of
all
I
own?
Is
a
danger
to
be
trusting
one
another
One
will
seldom
want
to
do
what
other
wishes
But
unless
someday
somebody
trust
somebody
There'll
be
nothing
left
on
earth
excepting
fishes
There
are
times
I
almost
think
Nobody
sure
of
what
he
absolutely
know
Everybody
find
confusion
In
conclusion,
he
concluded
long
ago
And
it
puzzle
me
to
learn
That
tho'
a
man
may
be
in
doubt
of
what
he
know
Very
quickly
he
will
fight
He'll
fight
to
prove
that
what
he
does
not
know
is
so
Oh,
sometimes
I
think
that
people
going
mad
Ah,
sometimes
I
think
that
people
not
so
bad
But
not
matter
what
I
think,
I
must
go
on
living
life
As
leader
of
my
kingdom,
I
must
go
forth
Be
father
to
my
children
and
husband
to
each
wife
Etcetera,
etcetera
and
so
forth
If
my
Lord
in
Heaven
Buddha,
show
the
way
Everyday
I
try
to
live
another
day
If
my
Lord
in
Heaven
Buddha,
show
the
way
Everyday
I
do
my
best
for
one
more
day
But
is
a
puzzlement
