Andrew Lloyd Webber - Devil Take The Hindmost (Quartet) Lyrics

[Gustave:]
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh.*

[Stage Hands:]
(Spoken)
Ready on the rail?
Ready on the rail!

[Gustave:]
(Singing)
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh.
(Continuing tune over the rest of the song.)

[Raoul:]
Will she sing?
Will she flee?
What is she
Thinking now?
Is it him?
Is it me?
Devil take the hindmost.

[Stage Hands:]
(Spoken)
Ready on the floor?
Ready on the floor!

[Raoul:]
(Singing, simultaneously with THE PHANTOM)
Will she stay?
Will she go?
Does she know?
Even now?
Please, Christine,
Stop the show!

[The Phantom:]
(Simultaneously with RAOUL)
Obey your heart
And sing for me
You want it so
Stay and be mine
Eternally

[Raoul and the Phantom:]
Devil take the hindmost.
Now it’s time,
So make your choice.
Do it for our son!

[Raoul:]
Use your head!

[The Phantom:]
No time to wait.

[Raoul:]
Hesitate,

[Raoul and the Phantom:]
We’re all undone.

[Stage Hands:]
(Spoken)
Ready in the pit?
Ready in the pit!

[Madame Giry:]
(Singing, Simultaneously with Raoul and the Phantom)
Perhaps she won’t go on.
Perhaps she’ll loose her nerve.
Perhaps her voice won’t serve
And she will fail him now.
And then my child and I
Will get what we deserve.

[Raoul:]
(Simultaneously with Raoul and the Phantom)
Will she stay?
Will she go?
Does she know?
Even now?
Please, Christine,
Stop the show!

[The Phantom:]
(Simultaneously with Raoul and the Phantom)
Obey your heart
And sing for me,
And sing for me.
You, me, the child
Eternally.

[Raoul, The Phantom, Madame Giry:]
Devil Take the Hindmost.

[Madame Giry:]
(Simultaneously with Raoul and the Phantom)
Perhaps she won’t go on.
Perhaps she’ll loose her nerve.
Perhaps her voice won’t serve
And she will fail him now.
And then my child and I
Will get what we deserve.

[Raoul:]
(Simultaneously with Madame Giry and the Phantom)
Will she stay?
Will she go?
Does she know?
Even now?
Please, Christine,
Stop the show!

[The Phantom:]
(Simultaneously with Raoul and the Phantom)
Obey your heart
And sing for me,
And sing for me.
You, me, the child
Eternally.

[Raoul, The Phantom, Madame Giry:]
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:]
(Spoken)
I hope Christine is worth of you. I hope her singing makes up for what your blindness has done to Meg and me.

[Meg:]
(Singing)
Devil take the hindmost.

[Stage Hands:]
(Spoken)
And curtain.
