“What a Dreadful Town!...” Andrew Lloyd Webber (Ft. Charlie Manton, Joseph Millson & Sierra Boggess)
RAOUL:
What a dreadful town, what a vulgar place
What an awful mistake to have come here
To be on display in that shameless way
For the crude common lower-class scum here
How do they dare to treat us so - ?
GUSTAVE:
Father dear, come play with me
Come and see this toy I've got -
RAOUL:
What a snub at most from our so-called host
Did he think sending freaks would be funny?
Could the fool have thought that our pride was bought
By his filthy American money?
What a farce
What an outright slap in the face
It's an utter disgrace
(I've got a mind to pack and go. Never you mind the debts we own! Who would believe we've sunk this low?)
GUSTAVE:
Father please, come play with me -
RAOUL:
(Please tell the boy the answer's no!)
