Stephen Sondheim Kiss Me Lyrics

JOHANNA (counterpoint with ANTHONY):
He means to marry me Monday
What should I do?
I'd rather die

ANTHONY (counterpoint with JOHANNA):
I have a plan

JOHANNA:
I'll swallow poison on Sunday
That's what I'll do
I'll get some lye

ANTHONY:
I have a plan!

JOHANNA:
Oh, dear! Was that a noise?

ANTHONY:
A plan!

JOHANNA:
I think I heard a noise!

ANTHONY:
A plan!

JOHANNA:
It couldn't be!
He's in court,
He's in court today,
Still that was a noise...
Wasn't that a noise?
You must have heard that -

ANTHONY:
Kiss me!

JOHANNA:
Oh, sir!

ANTHONY:
Ah, miss!

JOHANNA:
Oh, sir!
If he should marry me Monday,
What shall I do?
I'll die of grief.

ANTHONY:
We fly tonight -

JOHANNA:
'Tis Friday, virtually Sunday,
What can we do with time so brief?

ANTHONY:
We fly tonight -

JOHANNA:
Behind the curtain, quick!

ANTHONY:
Tonight -

JOHANNA:
I think I heard a click!

ANTHONY:
Tonight!

JOHANNA:
It was a gate!
It's the gate!
We don't have a gate.
Still there was a - Wait!
There's another click!
You must have heard that -

ANTHONY:
It's not a gate.
There's no gate,
You don't have a gate.
If you'd only listen miss and...
Kiss me!

JOHANNA:
Tonight?

ANTHONY:
Kiss me!

JOHANNA:
You mean tonight?

ANTHONY:
The plan is made!

JOHANNA:
Oh, sir!

ANTHONY;
So kiss me!

JOHANNA:
I feel a fright!

ANTHONY:
Be not afraid!

JOHANNA:
Sir, I did
Love you even as I
Saw you, even as it
Did not matter that I
Did not know your name...

ANTHONY:
Tonight I'll steal you!

JOHANNA,
I'll steal you...

ANTHONY:
It's me you'll marry on Monday,
That's what you'll do!

JOHANNA:
And gladly, sir.

ANTHONY:
St. Dunstan's, noon.

JOHANNA:
I knew I'd be with you one day,
Even not knowing who you were.
I feared you'd never come,
That you'd been called away,
That you'd been killed,
Had the plague,
Were in debtor's jail,
Trampled by a horse,
Gone to sea again,
Arrested by the -

JOHANNA:
Kiss me!

ANTHONY:
Of course!

JOHANNA:
Quickly!

ANTHONY:
Ah, miss!
Marry me! Marry me miss!
Oh, marry me Monday!
Favor me! Favor me
With your hand!
Promise!
Marry me! Marry me, please!
Oh, marry me Monday -

ANTHONY:
You're sure?

JOHANNA:
Kiss me!

ANTHONY:
I shall!

JOHANNA:
Kiss me!
Oh, sir...
