The Court of Miracles Lyrics

CLOPIN & GYPSY CHORUS
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!
GYPSY CHORUS (variously)
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 & GYPSY CHORUS
We have a method for spies and intruders
Rather like hornets protecting their hive
CLOPIN
Here in the Court of Miracles
CLOPIN & GYPSY CHORUS
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!
(speaking) Any last words?
QUASIMODO & PHOEBUS (muffled speech)
CLOPIN
That's what they all say. (singing) Now that we've seen all the evidence
CLOPIN PUPPET
Wait! I object!
CLOPIN
Overruled!
CLOPIN PUPPET
I object!
CLOPIN
Quiet!
CLOPIN PUPPET
Dang!
CLOPIN
We find you totally innocent
Which is the worst crime of all
CLOPIN & GYPSY CHORUS
So you're going to hang!
