Maria/Korea
[Milan]
When I'm with her I'm confused, out of focus and bemused
And I never know exactly where I am
Unpredictable as weather, she's as flighty as a feather
She's a darling! She's a demon! She's a lamb!
[Boris]
How do you solve a problem like Korea?
How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?
How do you find the word
That means Korea?
Many a thing you know you'd like to tell her
Many a thing she ought to understand
But how do you make her stay
And listen to all you say
[Marina]
She'd out pester any pest, drive a hornet from its nest
She could throw a whirling dervish out of whirl
She is gentle, she is wild, she's a riddle, she's a child
She's a headache, an angel, she's a girl
[Boris]

How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?
[Boris & Marina]
How do you find the word
That means Korea?
Many a thing you know you'd like to tell her
Many a thing she ought to understand
But how do you make her stay
And listen to all you say
How do you solve a problem like
A problem like Korea?
[Milan]
How do you keep a wave upon the sand?
How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand?
How do you solve a problem like Korea?
How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?
[Milan & Marina]
How do you find the word
That means Korea?
