Broadway 1997 Scarlet Pimpernel the Musical - The Scarlet Pimpernel Lyrics
PERCY: Lud love me such conjecturing Could drive a man insane! And I'm the one to set This gossip quite to rest The Pimpernel is me! MARGUERITE: Indeed, and I'm the queen of Spain! ARMAND: The Pimpernel is nothing But a nosy pest! A WOMAN: No, the vicar says the Pimpernel's A bishop in disguise MARIE: Who gives absolution Night and day! A MANSERVANT: Stuff and nonsense! Don't you know He's a maharajah from Bombay? A WOMAN: They say he has enormous feet! A MANSERVANT: And that he tends to overeat! A WOMAN: I've heard he's fussy with his food LADY LLEWELLYN: And eats his breakfast in the nude! WOMEN Is he robust Or very pale? At least we know he's male! Who is the Scarlet Pimpernel? A MAID: Me sister says his breath Is sweeter than an Irish rose! MAIDS: I'm sure I'd fall in love If he would cross my path! A MANSERVANT: La, yes if you could overlook The warts upon his nose A MANSERVANT: And possibly persuade him He should take a bath! A WOMAN: Rumor has it he's Castilian! A WOMAN: He's a reckless buccaneer! LADY LLEWELLYN And I hear he carries sev'ral ... whips ... PERCY, spoken: Several ... whips?! ARMAND: He's a sultan from Kabul MARIE: With women at his fingertips! A WOMAN: They say he's nearly eight feet tall! A WOMAN: And yet quite graceful - A MANSERVANT: Folderol! A MANSERVANT: I'm told he waddles when he walks MENSERVANTS: And often twitches when he talks! A MANSERVANT: Is he a dolt? PERCY: He's very deep! ALL: Oh, England's losing sleep! PERCY: Who is this blasted Pimpernel? A MANSERVANT: The butcher in the village Claims he saw the man last week PERCY, spoken: Where? A MANSERVANT: Galloping his camel 'cross the moor! A WOMAN: He's been seen A MANSERVANT: Wearing full Blakeney green! PERCY: I've told you all before! The fella's me! A MANSERVANT: It's George the Third! A MANSERVANT: Perhaps a convict run amok? A MANSERVANT: This Pimpernel could be most any sod! PERCY, spoken: How dare you? A WOMAN: Bite your tongue He is dashing and young! WOMEN: The Pimpernel's a god! And he'll find me! And he'll wake me! And he'll take me LADY LLEWELLYN: Down on a haystack WOMEN: He'll face me MEN: Then at last you could tell If he's a hero or a monk A fiddling Nero or a drunk! Who is the Scarlet Pimpernel? PERCY, spoken: It's me, it's me! A MAN: I'm sure he's flatulent and crass! MEN: Hear, hear! The man's a horse's ass! WOMEN: No, no! He's neighborly and kind LADY LLEWELLYN: But quite erotically inclined ... ALL: Whatever guise he may employ He's England's pride and joy! This plucky non-pareil! PERCY: This lucky bloody swell! ALL: Who is the Scarlet Pimpernel?
