"Mother, Did You Watch?" - Andrew Lloyd Webber

MEG:

Mother, did you watch?

Everything is sold

Mother, can’t you tell the new routine

It went so well?

I was worried just a touch

That it might have been too much

Just a bit, well, rather, free

But just listen to that crowd

Why, they’ve never been so loud!

Screaming only for me

MADAME GIRY:

Meg…

MEG:

And the master must have heard

Every note and every word

Mother, tell me, did he see?

MADAME GIRY:

Meg, stop it

MEG:

Even he will now concede

I’m the only he’ll need —

Mother, what’s wrong?

MADAME GIRY:

Meg, sweet fool

You did all that you could

Charming, bright

And yet still not enough

MEG:

Wh-what do you mean?

MADAME GIRY:

How you danced

They’re all entranced

Yes, all but the one

Whose entrancement we sought

MEG:

He wasn’t there?

MADAME GIRY:

Where, poor girl

Do you think that he was?

Yes, that’s right

In with her all along

MEG:

With Christine?

MADAME GIRY:

Claiming of their son they love

Too smitten to spare you

One moment of thought

MEG:

But you said —

MADAME GIRY:

All that you gave him

It’s all been a waste

MEG:

You were wrong!

MADAME GIRY:

All that you’ve done

It has all been a waste

MEG:

Don’t say that!

MADAME GIRY:

Now he has them

As for us we have

Both been replaced

MEG:

No!
