The Phantom of the Opera Poor Fool, He Makes Me Laugh - Il Muto Lyrics

CONFIDANTE
They say that this youth has set my lady's heart aflame

1ST FOP
His Lordship sure would die of shock

2ND FOP
His Lordship is a laughing-stock

CONFIDANTE
Should he suspect her, God protect her

ALL
Shame, shame, shame
This faithless lady's bound for Hades
Shame, shame, shame

CARLOTTA
Serafimo, your disguise is perfect
Why, who can this be?

PIANGI
Gentle wife, admit your loving husband
My love, I am called to England on affairs of State
And must leave you with your new maid
Though I would happily take the maid with me

CARLOTTA
The old fool is leaving
Serafimo, away with this pretence

FOP
Oh my

CARLOTTA
You cannot speak, but kiss me in my husband's absence
Poor fool, he makes me laugh, ha ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Time I tried to get a better, better half

CARLOTTA & CHORUS
Poor fool, he doesn't know, ho ho ho ho ho

CHORUS
Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho, ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho

CARLOTTA
Ho ho, ho oh oh oh oh ho ho ho, ho ho, ho oh oh oh oh ho ho ho

CARLOTTA & CHORUS
If he knew the truth, he'd never, ever go

ERIK
Did I not instruct that Box Five was to be kept empty?

MEG
He's here, the Phantom of the Opera!

CHRISTINE
It's him...

CARLOTTA
Your part is silent, little toad!

ERIK
A toad, madame? Perhaps it is you who are the toad.

CARLOTTA
Maestro, da capo, per favore.
Serafimo, away with this pretence
You cannot speak, but kiss me in my *croak*

REYER
Gentlemen, please please!

CARLOTTA
Poor fool, he makes me laugh, ha ha ha ha ha
Ha ha *croak* *croak* *croak* *croak* *croak* *croak*
Mother!

FIRMIN
Bring the curtain in, will you, please, please, bring the curtain -
Ladies and gentlemen, the performance will continue in ten minutes time,
When the role of the Countess will be played by Miss Daaé. Thank you!

ANDRE
Meanwhile we'd like to give you the ballet from Act Three of tonight's opera.

RAOUL
Are you all right?

CHRISTINE
Raoul, we're not safe here!

FIRMIN
Ladies and gentlemen, please remain in your seats.
Do not panic, it's simply an accident, an accident!
