Devil Take The Hindmost (Quartet)

#GUSTAVE#

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (Continuing…)

STAGEHANDS:

Ready on the rail? -Ready on the rail!

#RAOUL#

Will she sing?

Will she flee?

What is she

thinking now?

Is it him?

Is it me?

Devil take the hindmost

STAGEHANDS:

Ready on the floor? -Ready on the floor!

#RAOUL/(PHANTOM)#

Will she stay? (Obey your heart)

Will she go? (And sing for me)

Does she know (You want it so)

Even now? (Stay and be mine)

Please, Christine

Stop the show (Eternally)

#BOTH#

Devil take the hindmost

Now it's time

So make your choice

Do it for our son

#PHANTOM#Use your head

#RAOUL#No time to wait

#BOTH#

Hesitate

We're all undone

STAGEHANDS:

Ready in the pit? -Ready in the pit!

#MADAME GIRY/<RAOUL>/(PHANTOM)#

Perhaps she won't go on <Will she stay?> (Obey your heart)

Perhaps she'll loose her nerve <Will she go?> (And sing for me)

Perhaps her voice won't serve <Does she know> (And sing for me)

And she will fail him now <Even now?> (You, me, the child)

And then my child and I <Please, Christine>

will get what we deserve <Stop the show> (Eternally)

#ALL#Devil take the hindmost

#MADAME GIRY/<RAOUL>/(PHANTOM)#

Perhaps she won't go on <Will she stay?> (Obey your heart)

Perhaps she'll loose her nerve <Will she go?> (And sing for me)

Perhaps her voice won't serve <Does she know> (And sing for me)

And she will fail him now <Even now?> (You, me, the child)

And then my child and I <Please, Christine>

will get what we deserve <Stop the show> (Eternally)

#ALL#

Devil take the hindmost

Now it's time

No turning back

All is on the line

Here it is

The final dance

One last chance

to get what's mine

MADAME GIRY:

I hope Christine is worthy of you.

I hope her singing makes up for what your blindness has done to Meg and me.

Devil take the hindmost
