[Bretodeau, spoken]
Hello? Hello?
[Amélie, spoken]
Look down, monsieur bretodeau
[Bretodeau, spoken]
What?
[Amélie, spoken]
Down
[Bretodeau, spoken]
I, I don't understand
[Amélie, spoken]
Look down
(Sung)
On the ledge
[Bretodeau]
A metal box
[Amélie]
A rusty hinge
[Bretodeau]
I know that lock!
[Amélie & bretodeau]
Slowly crack the treasure open
[Amélie]
Cat's eye marble
[Bretodeau]
I forgot
[Amélie]
A diecast car
[Bretodeau]
My hiding spot. My trusty knife
[Amélie]
Coins from the war
[Bretodeau]
My father's watch
[Amélie & bretodeau]
And so much more
I am howard carter stepping into tutankhamen's tomb
[Company]
Unlock the box!
[Bretodeau]
I'm seven in the schoolyard
[Company]
Unlock the box!
[Bretodeau]
I hear my mother's voice, she's calling from the hall
[Company]
Unlock the box!
[Bretodeau]
My father handing me his wristwatch!
Here's how to tell time
How to tell time
[Amélie & bretodeau]
How to tell time
How to tell time
[Amélie]
How to tell
[Bretodeau, spoken]
A cognac, please!
