Antony
I have sailed the world,
beheld the wonders,
from the pearls of Spain
to the rubies of Tibet...
but not even in London!
Have I seen such a wonder...
Lady...
Look at me!
Look at me!
Miss, oh look at me!
Please, oh
favor me!
Favor me
with your glance!
Ah, miss.
What do you?
What do you
see up there in those trees, oh
won't you give
won't you give
a chance!
Who would sail to Spain
for all it's wonders
when in Kiri's Lane
lies the greatest wonder yet!
Ah, miss
Look at you!
Look at you,
pale and ivory skin!
Oh, look at you
looking so sad, so queer.
Promise not to retreat to the darkness,
back of your window
not 'til you
not 'til you look down here!
Look at me!
Look at me!
Johanna
Green finch and linnet bird
nightingale, blackbird.
Teach me how to sing!
If I cannot fly...
Antony
Look at me...
Johanna
Let me sing...
Beggar Woman
Alms, alms for a miserable woman!
Beg your pardon, it's you sir...
Thank ya, thank ya kindly.
Antony (spoken)
One moment, madame.
Perhaps you know whose house this is?
Beggar Woman (spoken)
That? That's the great Judge Turpin's house, that is.
Antony (spoken)
And the young lady who resides there?
Beggar Woman (spoken)
Oh her? That' Johanna, his pretty little ward...
but don't you go trespassin' there, young man!
Not if you value your height!
Tamper there, and it's a good whippin' for ya,
or any other youth with mischeif on his mind!
(sung)
Hey hoy! Sailor boy!
Want it snuggly harbored!
Open the gate!
But dock it straight!
I see it lists a starboard!
