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:
Meg...

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

MADAME GIRY:
Meg, stop it

MEG:
Even he will now concede
I'm the only he'll need -
Mother, what's wrong?
MADAME GIRY:
Meg, sweet fool
You did all that you could
Charming, bright
And yet still not enough

MEG:
Wh-what do you mean?

MADAME GIRY:
How you danced
They're all entranced
Yes, all but the one
Whose entrancement we sought

MEG:
He wasn't there?

MADAME GIRY:
Where, poor girl
Do you think that he was?
Yes, that's right
In with her all along

MEG:
With Christine?
MADAME GIRY:
Claiming of their son they love
Too smitten to spare you
One moment of thought

MEG:
But you said -

MADAME GIRY:
All that you gave him
It's all been a waste

MEG:
You were wrong!

MADAME GIRY:
All that you've done
It has all been a waste

MEG:
Don't say that!

MADAME GIRY:
Now he has them
As for us we have
Both been replaced
MEG:
No!
