Poor Fool, He Makes Me Laugh

Andrew Lloyd Webber

CONFIDANTE:
They say that this youth has set my Lady's heart aflame!
1ST FOP:
His Lordship sure would die of shock!

2ND FOP:
His Lordship is a laughing-stock!

CONFIDANTE:
Should he suspect her, God protect her!

ALL THREE:
Shame! Shame! Shame!
This faithless lady's bound for Hades!
Shame! Shame! Shame!

COUNTESS:
Serafimo, your disguise is perfect. Why, who can this be?

DON ATTILIO:
Gentle wife, admit your loving husband.
My love, I am called to England on affairs of State,
And must leave you with your new maid.
Though I'd gladly take the maid with me.

COUNTESS:
The old fool's leaving!
Serafimo! Away with this pretense!
You cannot speak, but kiss me in my husband's absence!
Poor fool, he makes me laugh!
Time I tried to get a better better half!

COUNTESS AND CHORUS:
Poor fool, he doesn't know!
If he knew the truth hed never ever go!

PHANTOM:
Did I not instruct that Box Five was to be kept empty?
MEG:
He's here, the Phantom of the Opera

CHRISTINE:
It's him!

CARLOTTA:
Your part is silent, little toad!

PHANTOM:
A toad, madame? Perhaps it is you who are the toad!

CARLOTTA:
Serafimo! Away with this pretense!
You cannot speak, but kiss me in my... Croak!
Poor fool, he makes me laugh!... Croak! Croak!
