Andrew Lloyd Webber - Mother, did you watch?

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:
(Spoken)
Meg!

MEG:
(Singing)
And the master must have heard
Every note and every word!
Mother, tell me did he see?

MADAME GIRY:
(Spoken)
Meg, stop it!

MEG:
(Singing)
Even he will now conceive
I’m the only one he’ll need!

(Spoken)
Mother, what’s wrong?

MADAME GIRY:
(Singing)
Meg, sweet fool, you did all that you could.
Charming, bright, and yet still not enough.

MEG:
(Spoken)
What do you mean?

MADAME GIRY:
(Singing)
How you danced
they’re all entranced,
yes, all but the one whose entrancement we sought!

MEG:
(Spoken)
He wasn’t there?

MADAME GIRY:
(Singing)
Where, poor girl, do you think that he was?
Yes, that’s right, in with her all along.

MEG:
(Spoken)
With Christine?

MADAME GIRY:
(Singing)
Dreaming of this and their love,
too smitten to spare you one moment of thought.

MEG:
(Spoken)
But you said-

MADAME GIRY:
(Singing)
All that you gave him, it’s all been a waste.

MEG:
(Spoken)
You’re wrong!

MADAME GIRY:
(Singing)
All that you’ve done it has all been a waste!

MEG:
(Spoken)
Don’t say that!

MADAME GIRY:
(Singing)
Now, he has them.
As for us, we have both been replaced!

MEG:
(Spoken)
No!
