The Court of Miracles Songtext

von Alan Menken

CLOPIN AND GYPSIES
Maybe you've heard of a terrible place
Where the soundrels of Paris
Collect in a lair

Maybe you've heard of that mythical place
Called the Court of Miracles

CLOIPN
Hello, you're there!

GYPSIES
Where the lame can walk
And the blind can see

CLOPIN
But the dead don't talk
So you won't be around
To reveal what you've found

CLOPIN AND GYPSIES
We have a method for spies and intruders
Rather like hornets protecting their hive
Here in the Court of Miracles
Where it's a miracle if you get out alive!

CLOPIN
Justice is swift in the Court of Miracles
I am the lawyers and judge all in one
We like to get the trial over with quickly
Because it's the sentence that's really the fun!

Now that we've seen all the evicence

PUPPET
Wait! I object!

CLOPIN
Overruled!

PUPPET
I object!

CLOPIN
Quiet!

PUPPET
Dang!

CLOPIN
We find you totally innocent
Which is the worst crime of all

ALL
So you're going to hang!
