Poor Fool, He Makes Me Laugh/Il Muto Lyrics

CHORUS
They say that this youth has set my Lady's heart aflame!
His Lordship, sure, would die of shock
His Lordship is a laughing-stock!
Should he suspect her, God protect her!
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'd happily take the maid with me.

CARLOTTA
The old fool is leaving!
Serafimo - away with this pretence!
You cannot speak, but kiss me in my husband's absence!

Poor fool, he makes me laugh!
Haha, Haha...
Time I tried to get a better better half!
Poor fool, he doesn't know!
Hoho, Hoho...
If he knew the truth, he'd never, ever go!

PHANTOM
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!

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

CARLOTTA
Serafimo, away with this pretence!
You cannot speak, but kiss me in my ... CROAK

Poor fool, he makes me laugh -
Hahahahaha!
Croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak

FIRMIN
Ladies and gentlemen, we apologize, the performance will continue in ten minutes' time ...
... when the role of the Countess will be played by Miss Christine Daae.
Meanwhile, we'd like to give you the ballet from Act Three of tonight's opera.

(Interlude)

RAOUL
Are you alright?

CHRISTINE
Raoul, we're not safe here

FIRMIN
Ladies and gentlemen, please remain in your seats.
Do not panic.
It was an accident ... simply an accident
