Alan Menken
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
Here in the Court of Miracles
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!
(Spoken)
Any last words?
[QUASIMODO and PHOEBUS]
*Muffled protests*
[CLOPIN]
That's what they all say
(Sung)
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
[All]
So you're going to hang!
