Here We Are the Musical - End of Act One Lyrics
The song is written by Stephen Sondheim.
(A distant gunshot is heard.)
PAUL: (spoken)
What was that?
LEO: (spoken)
Maybe another waiter
FRITZ: (spoken)
That was the sound of the revolution
CLAUDIA: (spoken)
That was the sound of the city
CLAUDIA:
If it's not some alarm
It’s a backfire
LEO:
Either that or the blatt
Of a horn
RAFFAEL:
It’s but one of the joys
Of the city: the noise—
WINDSOR:
Sir, as sure as the day I was born
That was a shot
(All spoken voices overlapping.)
FRITZ: (spoken)
Listen! The revolution is starting!
MARIANNE: (spoken)
How exciting! Let's go see!
PAUL: (spoken)
Maybe it was a gunshot...
CLAUDIA: (spoken)
A gunshot in this neighborhood?
RAFFAEL: (spoken)
Absolutely absurd!
LEO: (spoken)
It's the city, what’s the big deal?
COLONEL MARTIN: (spoken)
I think I know what a gunshot sounds like
BISHOP: (spoken)
My Lord, how terrible—!
SOLDIER: (spoken)
But Fritz, who cares what it was!
PAUL:
I told you—
Something's happening
Something's going on...
FRITZ: (spoken)
Come on, Inferno. Come on!
MARIANNE: (spoken)
Oh, it's not the end of the world, Fritzie!
FRITZ: (spoken)
This time it is!
WINDSOR: (spoken)
Dinner is served!
CLAUDIA: (spoken)
Oh! Food!
WINDSOR:
Sir, as sure as the day I was born
That was a shot
(All spoken voices overlapping.)
FRITZ: (spoken)
Listen! The revolution is starting!
[MARIANNE: (spoken)
How exciting! Let's go see!
PAUL: (spoken)
Maybe it was a gunshot...
CLAUDIA: (spoken)
A gunshot in this neighborhood?
RAFFAEL: (spoken)
Absolutely absurd!
LEO: (spoken)
It's the city, what’s the big deal?
COLONEL MARTIN: (spoken)
I think I know what a gunshot sounds like
[BISHOP, spoken]
My Lord, how terrible—!
SOLDIER: (spoken)
But Fritz, who cares what it was!
PAUL:
I told you—
Something's happening
Something's going on...
FRITZ: (spoken)
Come on, Inferno. Come on!
MARIANNE: (spoken)
Oh, it's not the end of the world, Fritzie!
FRITZ: (spoken)
This time it is!
WINDSOR: (spoken)
Dinner is served!
CLAUDIA: (spoken)
Oh! Food!
LEO:
Ladies and gents
Let's do it fast
We thank you, Lord
For food at last—
PAUL:
And just to make the day complete:
To you—
BISHOP:
To you—
CLAUDIA:
To you—
MARIANNE:
To you—
LEO:
To you—
RAFFAEL:
To you—
COLONEL MARTIN:
To you—
SOLDIER:
To you—
(WINDSOR’s cellphone rings.)
WINDSOR: (spoken, sotto voce into his phone)
Inferno here
FRITZ: (spoken)
You? You're Inferno?
WINDSOR: (spoken)
Bon appetit, Apocalypse
Do enjoy your evening
LEO: (spoken)
Let's eat!
ALL EXCEPT FRITZ:
What a perfect day!
(Sirens and gunfire followed by a large explosion.)
