[TOULOUSE] There
was a boy,
A very strange enchanted boy.
They say he wandered very far,
Very far,
Over land and sea.
A little shy,
And sad of eye,
But very wise was he.
And then one day,
One magic day,
He passed my way.
While we spoke of many things,
Fools
and kings,
This he said to me:
[CHRISTIAN]
‘The greatest thing you’ll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return.’
THE SOUND OF MUSIC/GREEN FAIRY
[TOULOUSE] The
hills animate with the euphonious symphonies of descant!
[AUDREY] Oh stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop!
[The music stops.]
[AUDREY] Stop that insufferable droning! It’s drowning
out my words! Can we please just stick to a little decorative piano?
CHRISTIAN: There
seemed to be artistic differences over Audrey’s lyrics to Satie’s songs.
[THE DOCTOR] I don’t think a nun would say that
about a hill.
[SATIE] What if he sings ‘the hills are vital,
intoning the descant’?
[TOULOUSE] No, no. The hills quake and shake…
[THE DOCTOR] No, no, no, no. The hills…
[ARGENTINEAN] The hills are incarnate with
symphonic melodies!
[THE DOCTOR] No.
[CHRISTIAN] The hills...
[TOULOUSE]No. The hills...
[CHRISTIAN] The hills…
[TOULOUSE] The hills…
[THE DOCTOR] The hills are chanting the eternal
mantra…
[CHRISTIAN] The hills are alive…
[SATIE] Frank is living in my foot!
[CHRISTIAN] The
hills are alive with the sound of music!
[THE DOCTOR] The hills...
[TOULOUSE] ...are alive...
[SATIE] ...with the sound of music... it fits
perfectly!
[CHRISTIAN] With
songs they have sung for a thousand years.
****************
(There was a boy…)
[GREEN FAIRY] I’m the Green Fairy!
[GREEN FAIRY, CHRISTIAN, and BOHEMIANS] The hills are alive with the sound of
music!
(…a very strange enchanted boy…)
[CHRISTIAN and BOHEMIANS] Yeah! Freedom, beauty, truth, and love!
[GREEN FAIRY] The hills are alive. . .
[CHRISTIAN and BOHEMIANS] You won’t fool the children of the revolution,
No, you won’t fool the children. . .
[GREEN FAIRY] . . .with the sound of music!
Of the revolution, the
revolution,
The revolution, of the revolution. . .
ZIDLER’S
RAP/SMELLS LIKE LADY MARMALADE
[ZIDLER] If
life’s an awful bore,
And living’s just a
chore
That we do
‘Cause death’s not much fun
I have just the
antidote,
And though I mustn’t
gloat,
At the Moulin Rouge!
You’ll have fun!
Just scratch that
little niggle,
Have a little wiggle.
You know that you can,
‘Cause we can
can-can!
[DIAMOND DOGS] Voulez-vous coucher avec moi
ce soir?
[ZIDLER] Don’t
say you can’t, can’t, can’t!
[DIAMOND DOGS] Voulez-vous coucher avec
moi?
[ZIDLER] You
know you can can-can!
[RAKES] Here
we are now, entertain us!
We feel stupid and
contagious!
[ZIDLER]
Got some dark desire?
Love to play with
fire?
Why not let it rip,
live a little bit!
Can can-can!
[RAKES] Here
we are now, entertain us!
[ZIDLER] Don’t
say you can’t, can’t, can’t!
You know you can
can-can!
[DIAMOND DOGS] Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?
[MEN] ‘Cause
we can can-can!
[ZIDLER]Outside
it may be raining,
But in here it’s
entertaining!
[DIAMOND DOGS] If you’re young, young, young and you’re free, free, free
[ZIDLER] Then
the Moulin Rouge is the place to be!
‘Cause we can can-can!
[ALL] We
can!
[ZIDLER] Yes
we can can-can!
[ALL] We
can!
[RAKES] Here
we are now, entertain us!
[ZIDLER] Outside
things may be tragic,
But in here we feel
it’s magic!
[RAKES] Here
we are now, entertain us!
[SATINE] The
French are glad to die for love,
They
delight in fighting duels. . .
[CHRISTIAN] But
someone else was to meet Satine that night. . .
[SATINE] But
I prefer a man who lives. . .
[CHRISTIAN] .
. .Zidler’s investor. . .
[SATINE] . . .And gives expensive jewels.
[CHRISTIAN] .
. .The Duke.
[SATINE] A
kiss on the hand may be quite continental,
But diamonds are a
girl’s best friend.
A kiss may be grand,
But it won’t pay the
rental on your humble flat,
Or help you feed your
pussycat.
Men grow cold as girls
grow old,
And we all lose our
charms in the end.
But square cut or
pear-shaped,
These rocks don’t lose
their shape;
Diamonds are a girl’s
best friend.
[DUKE] When am I going to meet the girl?
[SATINE] Tiffany’s!
[ZIDLER] After her number. I’ve arranged a
special meeting—just you and Mademoiselle Satine, totally alone.
[SATINE] Cartier!
[TOULOUSE] After her number, I’ve arranged a
private meeting, just you and Mademoiselle Satine, totally alone.
[CHRISTIAN] Alone?
[TOULOUSE] Yes. Totally alone.
[ZIDLER] Totally alone.
[SATINE]‘Cause
we are living in a material world,
And I am a material
girl!
Come and get me boys!
[ZIDLER] Excuse me.
[SATINE] Black
star, Roscor!
Talk to me Harry
Zidler, tell me all about it!
There may come a time
when a lass needs a lawyer,
But diamonds are a
girl’s best friend.
There may come a time
when a hard-boiled employer
Thinks you’re awful
nice,
But get that ice or
else no dice!
**********************************
[DIAMOND DOGS] Diamonds are a girl’s best,
Diamonds are a girl’s best friend.
**********************************
[SATINE] Cause
that’s when those louses
Go back to
their spouses.
Diamonds are a girl’s
best friend.
***********************************
SATINE: Diamonds!
Diamonds!
Square cut or pear-shaped,
These rocks
don’t lose their shape;
Diamonds are a girl’s
best...
[CHRISTIAN] It’s a little bit funny.
[SATINE] What?
[CHRISTIAN] This f-feeling in-inside. I’m not one
of those who can—who can easily hide. Is this—is this okay, is this what you
want?
[SATINE] Ohh, poetry, yes. Yes. Yes, this is what
I want, naughty words! Oh!
[CHRISTIAN] I—I don’t have much money, but. . .
[SATINE] Oh! Naughty!
[CHRISTIAN] . . .but boy if I did. . .
[SATINE] Oh, yes!
[CHRISTIAN]. . .I’d buy a big house where we
both—both could live.
[SATINE] Oh, I love them! Oh, it’s so good!
[CHRISTIAN] If I were a sculptor—
[SATINE] Wonderful!
[CHRISTIAN] . . .but then again, no.
[SATINE] Wonderful.
[CHRISTIAN] Or a man who makes potions at a
traveling show.
[SATINE] Oh don’t! Don’t! No, no, no. Don’t stop!
[CHRISTIAN] I know it’s not much. . .
[SATINE] Give me more! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Oh!
[CHRISTIAN] . . .But it’s the best I can do.
[SATINE] Oh, naughty! Don’t stop! Yes! Yes! Yes!
[CHRISTIAN] My
gift is my song,
And this one’s
for you.
And you can tell everybody that this is your
song.
It may be quite
simple, but now that it’s done,
I hope you don’t
mind, I hope you don’t mind,
That I put down
in words,
How wonderful life
is, now you’re in the world.
Sat on the roof and I kicked off the moss,
Well some of
these verses, well, they, they got me quite cross.
But the sun’s
been kind while I wrote this song;
It’s for people like
you that keep it turned on.
So excuse me
forgetting, but these things I do,
You see I’ve
forgotten if they’re green or if they’re blue.
Anyway, the thing is, what I really mean,
Yours are the
sweetest eyes I’ve ever seen.
And you can tell everybody that this is your song.
It may be
quite simple, but now that it’s done,
I hope
you don’t mind, I hope you don’t mind,
That I put down
in words,
How wonderful
life is, now you’re in the world.
[SATINE] NO! It’s— it’s a little bit funny.
[DUKE] What is?
[SATINE] This. . .
[CHRISTIAN] Feeling.
[SATINE]. . .feeling. . .
[CHRISTIAN] Inside.
SATINE:. . .inside.
[CHRISTIAN] I’m not one of those.
[SATINE] I’m not one of those who can easily. . .
[CHRISTIAN] Hide.
[SATINE] . . .hide! I don’t have much money, but
oh, if I did, oh, I’d buy a big house where we both could live.
I
hope you don’t mind, I hope you don’t mind,
That I put down in
words,
How wonderful
life is, now you’re in the world.
THE
PITCH (SPECTACULAR SPECTACULAR)
[ZIDLER] I mean the show will be a magnificent,
opulent, tremendous, stupendous, gargantuan bedazzlement, a sensual ravishment.
It will be...
Spectacular
Spectacular!
No words in the
vernacular
Can describe this great
event.
You’ll be dumb with
wonderment.
Returns are fixed at ten
percent—
You must agree, that’s
excellent.
And on top of
your fee. . .
[ALL EXCEPT THE DUKE] . . .you’ll be involved artistically.
So exciting, the audience will stomp and
cheer!
So delighting it will run for fifty
years!
So exciting, the audience will stomp and cheer!
So delighting it will run for fifty years!
[TOULOUSE] Elephants!
[THE DOCTOR] Bohemians!
[ZIDLER] Indians!
[SATINE] And
courtesans!
[SATIE] Acrobats!
[CHRISTIAN] And
juggling bears!
[TOULOUSE]Exotic
girls!
[ALL EXCEPT THE DUKE] Fire-eaters!
Muscle-men,
contortionists!
Intrigue, danger...
[TOULOUSE] And
romance!
[ALL EXCEPT THE DUKE] Electric lights! Machinery!
[TOULOUSE] And
all that electricity!
[ALL EXCEPT THE DUKE] So exciting, the audience will stomp and cheer!
So delighting, it will run for fifty years!
So exciting the audience will stomp and
cheer!
So delighting it will run for fifty years!
Spectacular
Spectacular,
No
words in the vernacular
Can describe this great event!
You’ll be dumb with wonderment!
The
hills are alive with the sound of music!
So exciting, the audience will stomp and cheer!
So delighting, it will run for fifty
years!
So exciting, the audience will stomp and
cheer!
So
delighting, it will run for fifty years!
[DUKE] Yes, but what happens in the end?
[CHRISTIAN] The
courtesan and sitar-man
Are pulled apart by
an evil plan.
[SATINE] But
in the end she hears his song.
[CHRISTIAN]
And their love is just too strong.
[DUKE] It’s
a little bit funny, this feeling inside.
[ALL EXCEPT THE DUKE] So exciting, the audience will stomp and cheer!
So delighting, it will run for fifty years!
[CHRISTIAN] Sitar
player’s secret song
Helps them
flee the evil one.
Though the tyrant rants and rails,
It is all to no
avail.
[ZIDLER] I am the evil maharajah! You will not
escape!
[SATINE] Oh, Harold, no-one could play him like
you could!
[ZIDLER] No-one’s going to.
[ALL EXCEPT THE DUKE] So exciting, we’ll make them laugh, and make them cry!
So delighting...
[DUKE] And in the end should someone die?
[ALL EXCEPT THE DUKE] So exciting the audience will stomp and cheer!
So delighting it will run for fifty years!
[DUKE] Generally, I like it.
[SATINE] I
follow the night,
Can’t stand the light.
When will I begin to
live again?
One day I’ll fly away,
Leave all this to
yesterday.
What more could your
love do for me?
When will love be
through with me?
Why live life from dream
to dream,
And dread the day when
dreaming ends?
[CHRISTIAN] How
wonderful life is, now you’re in the world.
[SATINE] One
day I’ll fly away,
Leave all this to
yesterday.
Why live life from
dream to dream,
And dread the day when
dreaming ends.
One day I’ll fly away,
fly, fly, away.
[SATINE] I can’t fall in love with anyone.
[CHRISTIAN] Can’t fall in love? But a life
without love, that’s terrible!
[SATINE] No, being on the street, that’s
terrible.
[CHRISTIAN] No, love is like oxygen.
[SATINE] What?
[CHRISTIAN] Love is a many-spendoured thing, love
lifts us up where we belong, all you need is love!
[SATINE] Please, don’t start that again.
[CHRISTIAN] All
you need is love.
[SATINE] A girl has got to eat!
[CHRISTIAN] All
you need is love.
[SATINE] She’ll end up on the streets!
[CHRISTIAN] All
you need is love.
[SATINE] Love
is just a game.
[CHRISTIAN] I
was made for loving you baby,
You were made for
loving me.
[SATINE] The
only way of loving me baby,
Is to pay a lovely
fee.
[CHRISTIAN] Just
one night,
Give me just one
night.
[SATINE] There’s
no way,
‘Cause you can’t pay.
[CHRISTIAN] In
the name of love,
One night in the
name of love.
[SATINE] You
crazy fool, I won’t give in to you.
[CHRISTIAN] Don’t
leave me this way.
I can’t survive without your sweet love,
Oh baby, don’t leave me this way.
[SATINE] You’d
think that people would have had enough of silly love songs.
[CHRISTIAN] I
look around me and I see it isn’t so, oh no.
[SATINE] Some
people want to fill the world with silly love songs.
[CHRISTIAN] And
what’s wrong with that,
I’d like to know
‘Cause here I go, again.
[SATINE] Oh no!
[CHRISTIAN] Love
lifts us up where we belong. . .
[SATINE] Get down, get down!
[CHRISTIAN] . . .Where eagles fly on a mountain high.
[SATINE] Love
makes us act like we are fools,
Throw our lives away
for one happy day.
[CHRISTIAN] We
could be heroes, just for one day!
[SATINE] You,
you will be mean.
[CHRISTIAN] No, I won’t.
[SATINE] And
I, I’ll drink all the time.
[CHRISTIAN] We
should be lovers.
[SATINE] We
can’t do that.
[CHRISTIAN] We
should be lovers, and that’s a fact.
[SATINE] Though
nothing will keep us together,
[CHRISTIAN] We
could steal time,
[SATINE and CHRISTIAN] Just for one day.
We could be heroes, forever and ever,
We could be heroes forever and ever...
[CHRISTIAN] And
I will always love you.
[SATINE] I
can’t help loving you...
How wonderful life is...
[SATINE and CHRISTIAN] Now you’re in the world.
[SATINE] You’re going to be bad for business, I
can tell.
[SATINE] If I should die this very moment
I wouldn’t
fear,
For I’ve never known completeness,
Like being here,
Wrapped in the warmth of you,
Loving every
breath of you.
Why live life from dream
to dream,
And dread the day…
[ZIDLER] She’s like a blushing bride. She says you
make her feel like a...virgin
[DUKE] A virgin...
[ZIDLER] You know, touched for the very first
time.
[DUKE] For the first...
[ZIDLER] She says it feels so good inside when
you hold her and you touch her.
[DUKE] Like a virgin...
[ZIDLER] She’s made it through the wilderness
somehow, she’s made it through. She didn’t know how lost she was,
Until she found you.
She was beat, incomplete,
She’d been had, she was
sad and blue,
But you’ve made her
feel,
Yes you’ve made her feel shiny and
new. Ohhh,
Like a virgin!
Touched for the
very first time!
Like a
vir-ir-ir-irgin!
Your hearts beat close
in time!
Gonna give you all her
love!
[WAITERS] Give
you all her love!
[ZIDLER] Her
fear is fading fast!
[WAITERS] Her
fear is gone!
[ZIDLER] She’s
been saving it all for you.
[WAITERS] All for you!
[ZIDLER] Only
love can last!
[WAITERS] Love,
love, love, love…
[ZIDLER] She’s
so fine,
And
she’s thine.
[WAITERS] And
she’s thine.
[ZIDLER] She’ll
be yours.
[WAITERS] She’ll
be yours.
[ZIDLER] Till
the end of time. . .
[WAITERS] Till the end of time.
[ZIDLER] .
. .Cause you make her feel,
Yes, you ma-a-a-a-ade
her feel
She has nothing to hide.
Like a virgin!
[WAITERS] Like
a virgin!
[ZIDLER] Touched
for the very first time!
[WAITERS] Touched
for the very first ti-i-i-i-ime!
[ZIDLER] Like
a vir-ir-ir-irgin!
When your hearts beat
both in time.
Like a virgin!
[WAITERS] Ooh-oooh!
[ZIDLER] Feels
so good inside.
[WAITERS]Feels
so good inside!
[ZIDLER] When
you hold her. . .
[ZIDLER] And
you touch her,
Ohh! Ohhh!
[DUKE] She’s
so fine, and she’s mine.
Makes me strong,
Yes she makes me bold.
Now, her love thawed out,
Yes, her lo-o-o-o-ove
thawed out
What was scared and cold.
[ZIDLER] Like
a virgin!
[WAITERS] Ooh,
like a virgin...
[ZIDLER]] Like
a vir-ir-ir-irgin!
[DUKE] When
you hearts beat both in time.
[ZIDLER]
Like a virgin!
[WAITERS] Vir-vir-virgin!
[DUKE] Feels
so good inside.
[WAITERS] Feels
so good inside.
[DUKE] When
you hold her,
And you touch her,
And you hold her,
And you touch her.
Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh,
Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh.
[DUKE and ZIDLER]Like a virgin!
[WAITERS] La
la la
La-la la-la
La la la
La-la la-la-la
COME WHAT MAY
[CHRISTIAN] Never
knew I could feel like this,
Like I’ve never
seen the sky before.
Want to vanish
inside your kiss. . .
Now, uh, this new scene is
the scene where the, uh, sitar payer writes a secret song for the courtesan, so
that whatever is happening, what—however bad things are, th-they remember their
love. And, um, we could take it from your line Satine, so let’s take it, let’s
take it.
[SATINE-AS-HINDU-COURTESAN] We must be careful.
[ARGENTINEAN-AS-PENNILESS-SITAR-PLAYER] Fear not:
we will conduct our love affair right under the maharajah’s...
[CHRISTIAN] Seasons
may change, winter to spring. . .
[ZIDLER] Honestly amigo, this is impossible!
[CHRISTIAN] .
. .But I love you until the end of time.
Come what may, come what may,
I will love
you until my dying day.
[CHRISTIAN and SATINE] Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place. . .
[DUKE] My dear! A little frog!
[CHRISTIAN and SATINE] Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace.
Suddenly my life doesn’t seem such a
waste,
It all revolves around you.
And there’s no mountain too high, no river
too wide,
Sing out this song and
I’ll be there by your side.
Storm clouds may gather, and stars may collide...
[CHRISTIAN] But
I love you…
[SATINE] I
love you...
[CHRISTIAN] …till
the end...
[SATINE] ...until
the end...
[CHRISTIAN and SATINE] …Of time.
Come what may, come what
may,
I will love you...
[CHRISTIAN] The magical sitar player falls from
the roof and says: ‘the greatest thing you’ll ever learn. . .
(The greatest thing. . .)
[CHRISTIAN] . . .is just to love and be loved in
return.’
(. . .you’ll ever learn. . .)
[NINI] This ending’s silly. Why would the
courtesan go for the penniless writer? Whoops! I mean sitar player.
[CHORUS] Come
what may...
[SATINE-AS-HINDU-COURTESAN and
ARGENTINEAN-AS-PENNILESS-SITAR-PLAYER] I
will love you...
[CHORUS] Come
what may...
[SATINE-AS-HINDU-COURTESAN and
ARGENTINEAN-AS-PENNILESS-SITAR-PLAYER] Yes,
I will love you...
[CHORUS]Come
what may...
[SATINE-AS-HINDU-COURTESAN and
ARGENTINEAN-AS-PENNILESS-SITAR-PLAYER] I
will love you till my dying day!
[DUKE] I don’t like this ending.
[ARGENTINEAN] We have a dance in the brothels of
Buenos Aires. It tells the story of a prostitute, and a man who falls in love.
. .with her. First, there is desire. Then, passion. Then suspicion, jealousy,
anger, betrayal. Where love is for the highest bidder, there can be no trust.
Without trust, there can be no love. Jealousy, yes, jealousy, will drive you
mad!
Roxanne!
You
don’t have to put on that red light,
Walk the
streets for money.
You don’t
care if it’s wrong or if it is right.
Roxanne!
You don’t have to wear that
dress tonight.
Roxanne!
You don’t have to sell your
body to the night.
[CHRISTIAN] His
eyes upon your face.
His hand upon your hand.
His lips caress your skin.
It’s more than I
can stand!
[ARGENTINEAN] Roxanne!
[CHRISTIAN] Why
does my heart cry. . .
[ARGENTINEAN] Roxanne!
[CHRISTIAN] .
. .feelings I can’t fight.
You’re free to leave me,
Just don’t
deceive me,
And please believe me
When I say I love
you.
[DUKE] When this production succeeds you’ll no
longer be a can-can dancer but an actress. I will make you a star. Accept it as a gift from this maharajah to
his courtesan.
[SATINE] Oh. And—and the ending?
[DUKE] Let Zidler keep his fairy-tale ending.
[ARGENTINEAN] Roxanne!
[CHRISTIAN] Why
does my heart cry...
[ARGENTINEAN] You
don’t have to put on that red light.
Roxanne!
[CHRISTIAN] .
. .feelings I can’t fight. . .
[ARGENTINEAN] You
don’t have to do your hair tonight.
[CHRISTIAN].
. .You’re free to leave me,
But just don’t
deceive me,
And please believe
me
When I say I love
you.
[SATINE] Come
what may,
I will love you till
my dying day.
No.
[DUKE] No? Oh, I see. It’s our very own penniless
sitar player.
[SATINE] Dear Duke.
[DUKE] Silence! You made me believe that you
loved me.
[SATINE] No.
[ARGENTINEAN] Roxanne!
[CHRISTIAN] Why
does my heart cry
Feelings I can’t
hide?
[ARGENTINEAN] Roxanne!
[CHORUS] Why
does my heart cry. . .
[ARGENTINEAN] You don’t have to put on that red light.
Roxanne!
[CHORUS] Feelings
I can’t hide.
[ARGENTINEAN] You don’t have to wear that dress tonight.
Roxanne!
[DUKE] Why
does my heart cry...
[ARGENTINEAN] Roxanne!
[DUKE] Feelings
I can’t hide.
[ARGENTINEAN] Roxanne!
[SATINE] I’m dying.
I was a fool to
believe,
A fool to believe.
It all ends today,
Yes it all ends today.
[ZIDLER] Send Christian away. Only you can save
him.
[SATINE] He’ll fight for me.
[ZIDLER] Yes. Unless he believes you don’t love
him.
[SATINE] What?
[ZIDLER] You’re a great actress, Satine. Make him
believe you don’t love him.
[SATINE] No.
[ZIDLER] Use your talent to save him. Hurt him.
Hurt him to save him. There is no other way. The show must go on, Satine. We’re
creatures of the underworld. We can’t afford to love.
[SATINE] Today’s
a day. . .
[SATINE and ZIDLER] . . .when dreaming. . .
[SATINE] .
. .ends.
[ZIDLER] Another
hero, another mindless crime
Behind the curtain in
the pantomime.
On and on,
Does anybody know what
we are living for?
[ZIDLER and CHORUS] Whatever happened, we leave it all to chance.
Another heartache, another failed romance.
On
and on,
Does
anybody know what we are living for?
[ZIDLER] The
show must go on!
The show must go on!
[ZIDLER and CHORUS] Outside the dawn is breaking
On
the stage that holds our final destiny.
The
show must go on!
The show
must go on!
[SATINE] Inside
my heart is breaking,
My makeup may be
flaking,
But my smile still
stays on.
[ZIDLER and CHORUS] The show must go on!
The
show must go on!
[SATINE] I’ll
top the bill,
I’ll earn the kill,
I have to find the will
to carry on.
[ALL] On
with the,
On with the,
On with the show!
[ZIDLER] On
with the show!
On with the show!
[ZIDLER and CHORUS] The show must go on!
[ZIDLER-AS-EVIL-MAHARAJAH] She is mine!
[TOULOUSE-AS-MAGICAL-SITAR] I only speak the truth,
I only
speak the truth,
I only speak the truth,
I only speak the truth!

[SATINE-AS-HINDU-COURTESAN] Kiss, hand, diamond’s best friend.

[SATINE] Never
knew I could feel like this. . .
It’s like I’ve never seen the sky before.
Want to vanish inside your kiss,
Everyday I’m loving you more and more.
Listen to my heart, can you hear it sing,
Come back to me and forgive everything.
Seasons may change, winter to
spring. . .
I love you,
Till the end of time.
