The Court Of Miracles

Clopin/Gypsies:
Maybe you've heard of a terrible place
Where the scoundrels of Paris collect in a lair
Maybe you've heard of that mythical place
Called the Court of Miracles.

Clopin:
Hello, you're there!

Gypsies:
Where the lame can walk
And the blind can see

Clopin:
But the dead don't talk
So you won't be around to reveal what you've found!

Clopin/Gypsies:
We have a method for spies and intruders
Rather like hornets protecting their hive

Clopin:
Here in the Court of Miracles

Clopin/Gypsies:
Where it's a miracle if you get out alive!

Clopin:
Justice is swift in the Court of Miracles
I am the lawyers and judge all in one
We like to get the trial over with quickly
Because it's the sentence that's really the fun!

Now that we've seen all the evidence--

Puppet:
Wait! I object!

Clopin:
Overruled!

Puppet:
I object!

Clopin:
Quiet!

Puppet:
Dang.

Clopin:
We find you totally innocent...
Which is the worst crime of all!

Clopin/Gypsies:
So you're going to hang!
