The Phantom of the Opera soundtrack – Poor Fool, He Makes Me Laugh lyrics

Gentlemen, if you would care to take your seats? I
shall be sitting in Box Five.
Do you really think that's wise, monsieur?
My dear Andre, there would apeear to be no seats
available, other than Box Five...
They say that this youth
has set my Lady's
heart aflame!
His Lordship, sure,
would die of shock
His Lordship is
a laughing-stock!
Should he suspect her,
God protect her!
Shame! Shame! Shame!
This faithless lady's
bound for HADES!
Shame! Shame!! Shame!
Nothing like the old operas!Or the old scenery...
The old singers...
The old audience...
And every seat sold!
Hardly a disaster beyond all imagination!
Serafimo - your dishuise is perfect.
Who can this be?
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 happily
take
the maid with me.
The old fool's leaving!
addio! addio! addio!
Serafimo - away with this pretence!
You cannot speak, but kiss me in my
husband's absence!
Poor fool, he makes me laugh!
Haha,
Haha! etc.
Time I tried to get a better better half!
Poor fool, he doesn't know!
Hoho,
Hoho! etc.
If he knew the truth, he'd never, ever go!
Did I not instruct that Box Five was to be kept empty?
He's here: the Phantom of the Opera ...
It's him ... I know it ... it's him ...
Your part is silent, little toad!
A toad, madame? Perhaps it is you who are the toad ...
Serafimo, away with this pretence!
You cannot speak, but kiss me in my croak!
Poor fool, he makes me laugh -
Hahahahaha!
Croak, croak, croak,
croak, croak, croak, etc.
Behold! She is singing to bring down the chandelier!
Non posso piu ...
I cannot ... I cannot go on ...
Cara, cara ... I'm here ...
is all right ... Come ... I'm here ...
Ladies and gentlemen, the performance will continue in
ten minutes' time ...
... when the role of the Countess will be sung by Miss
Christine Daae.
In the meantime, ladies and gentlemen, we shall be
giving you the ballet from Act Three of tonight's
opera.
Maestro - the ballet - now!
Raoul! Raoul!
Christine, come with me ...
No... to the roof. We'll be safe there.
Ladies and gentlemen, please remain in your seats. Do
not panic. It was an accident ... simply an accident
...
