Various Revolutionary Men:
I smell aristos, smell 'em in the air
Think I'll drop my anchor in that harbor over there
Lovely aristos, watching their heads drop
Seven days at sea can make ya hungry for a chop
Frenchmen traitors! Englishmen and fops!
Revolutionary Women:
Lovely Madame! Waiting for a bite!
Waiting for the aristos who only come at night!
Lovely Madame! Ready for the call
Proud and strong or whimpering or anyway at all
Proud aristos up against the wall!
St. Cyr:
Come here, St. Just, I’ll give you but a moment
To get out of my house!
Armand:
Monsuier, I love your daughter!
St. Cyr:
I'll give you four
Armand:
I will not leave ‘til I’m through!
St. Cyr:
I'll give you five, before I beat you to a pulp
It's up to you
Armand:
But I love her!
St. Cyr:
That's not my fault!
Armand:
Please say I can!
St. Cyr:
There goes the five
St. Just, it seems you do not wish to stay alive
Revolutionary Women:
Lovely Madame! Waiting in the dark
Ready for a thick one or a quick one in the park
Gabrielle Damiens:
Long neck, short neck, any neck, my dear
Cost a little extra if it has to take all year
Revolutionary Women:
Quick and cheap is drownings beside the pier
Chauvelin:
What a story! The St. Cyr’s plot with Aust-rie... (Austria)
What luck you've got, they’re worth a sountine my dear.
Just sign right here!
Margot:
Don't touch me, leave me alone!
Chauvelin:
Let's make a price
I'll give you all the St. Cyr’s
Just think of that
Margot:
It pays a debt
Chauvelin:
Just think of that
Margot:
What can I do, it does seem wrong
But the St. Cyrs hurt my dear Armand!
Revolutionary Men:
Lovely Madame! Fastest on the street
Wasn't chopping three minutes she was back up on her feet
Lovely Madame! Watch what you've said
Doesn't take a lot of savvy just to chop a head
Come on Madame,
What's a Madame for?
Man:
(Referring to Marguerite)
Give me the dirt, who's the bit over there?
Women:
A good actress, she's the one betrayed St. Cyr
She's got a brother, sends him all that she can
Man:
I might've known, there is always some man
Come on lady, come along and join us, come on lady...
Gabrielle Damiens:
Come on dearie, why all the fuss?
You're no grander than the rest of us
Life has dropped you at the bottom of the heap
Join your sisters
Woman:
Save the republic while you sleep
Gabrielle Damiens:
(As she watches Margot sign the denunciation)
That's right dearie, let him have the lot
That's right dearie, show him what you've got
Revolutionary Women:
Old men, young men, take 'em as they come
Harbor rats and alley cats and every kind of scum
Poor men, rich men, leaders of the land
See 'em with their heads cut off, they're never quite as grand
All it takes is a denunciation from your hand
Lovely Madame! Chopping to a song
Got a lot of callers, but they never stay for long
Margot:
Come on, St. Cyr, you can wear your shoes
Unlike Armand, here is one girl you can't refuse.
Easy payback, chopping off a head
Just because of one little tiny thing I said
Don't they know their actions could cause them to be dead?
