Clopin
Morning in Paris, the city awakes
To the bells of Notre Dame
The fisherman fishes, the bakerman bakes
To the bells of Notre Dame
To the big bells as loud as the thunder
To the little bells soft as a psalm
And some say the soul of the city's
The toll of the bells
The bells of Notre Dame
Dark was the night when our tale was begun
On the docks near Notre Dame
Four frightened gypsies slid silently under
The docks near Notre Dame
But a trap had been laid for the gypsies
And they gazed up in fear and alarm
At a figure whose clutches
Were iron as much as the bells
The bells of Notre Dame
Chorus
Kyrie Eleison
Clopin
Judge Claude Frollo longed
to purge the world
Of vice and sin
Chorus
Kyrie Eleison
Clopin
And he saw corruption
ev'rywhere
Except within
Chorus
Dies Irae, dies illa
Solvet saeclum in favilla
Teste David cum sibylla
Quantus tremor est futurus
Quando Judex est venturus
Archdeacon
See there the innocent
blood you have spilt
On the steps of Notre Dame
Now you would add this child's
blood to your guilt
On the steps of Notre Dame
You can lie to yourself and
your minions
You can claim that you
haven't a qualm
But you never can run from
Nor hide what you've done
from the eyes
The very eyes of Notre Dame
Chorus
Kyrie Eleison
Clopin
And for one time in his life
Of power and control
Chorus
Kyrie Eleison
Clopin
Frollo felt a twinge of fear
For his immortal soul
Frollo
Just so he's kept locked away
Where no one else can see
Even this foul creature may
Yet prove one day to be
Of use to me
Clopin
Now here is a riddle to guess if you can
Sing the bells of Notre Dame
Who is the monster and who is the man?
Clopin and Chorus
Sing the bells, bells, bells, bells
Bells, bells, bells, bells
Bells of Notre Dame

Crowd
Come one, come all!
Leave your looms and milking stools
Coop the hens and pen the mules
Come one, come all!
Close the churches and the schools
It's the day for breaking rules
Come and join the feast of...
Clopin
Fools!
Once a year we throw a party here in town
Once a year we turn all Paris upside down
Ev'ry man's a king and ev'ry king's a clown
Once again it's Topsy Turvy Day
It's the day the devil in us gets released
It's the day we mock the prig and shock the priest
Ev'rything is topsy turvy at the Feast of Fools!
Crowd
Topsy turvy!
Clopin
Everything is upsy daisy!
Crowd
Topsy turvy!
Clopin
Ev'ry one is acting crazy
Dross is gold and weeds are a bouquet
That's the way on Topsy Turvy Day
All
Topsy turvy!
Clopin & Crowd
Beat the drums and blow the trumpets
All
Topsy turvy!
Clopin & Crowd
Join the bums and thieves and strumpets
Streaming in from Chartres to Calais...
Clopin
Scurvy knaves are extra scurvy
On the sixth of "Januervy"
Clopin & Crowd
All because it's Topsy Turvy Day!
Clopin
Come one, come all!
Hurry, hurry, here's your chance
See the myst'ry and romance
Come one, come all
See the finest girl in France
Make an entrance to entrance
Dance la Esmeralda...
Dance!
Here it is, the moment you've been waiting for
Here it is, you know exactly what's in store
Now's the time we laugh until our sides get sore
Now's the time we crown the King of Fools!
So make a face that's horrible and frightening
Make a face as gruesome as a gargoyle's wing
For the face that's ugliest will be the King of Fools!
Why?
Crowd
Topsy turvy!
Clopin
Ugly folk, forget your shyness...
Crowd
Topsy turvy!
Clopin
You could soon be called
Your Highness!
Crowd
Put your foulest features
on display
Be the king of Topsy
Turvy Day!
Clopin
Ev'rybody!
Crowd
Clopin
Once a year we throw a party
Here in town
Hail to the king!
Once year we turn all Paris
Upside down
Oh what a king!
Once a year the ugliest
Will wear a crown
Girls, give a kiss
Once a year on
Topsy Turvy Day
We've never had
a king like this
Clopin & Crowd
And it's the day we do the things that we deplore
On the other three hundred and sixty-four
Once a year we love do drop in
Where the beer is never stoppin'
For the chance to pop some popinjay
And pick a king who'll put the "top" in
Topsy Turvy Day!
Mad and crazy, upsy-daisy, Topsy Turvy Day!

Hugo
Paris, the city of lovers
Is glowing this evening
True, that's because it's on fire
But still, there's "l'amour"
Somewhere out there in the night
Her heart is also alight
And I know the guy she just might
Be burning for...
A guy like you
She's never known, kid
A guy like you
A girl does not meet ev'ry day
You've got a look
That's all you're own, kid
Could there be two?
Victor & Lavern
Like you?
All Three
No way!
Hugo
Those other guys
That she could dangle
All look the same
From ev'ry boring point of view
You're a surprise
From ev'ry angle
Mon Dieu above
She's gotta love
A guy like you
Victor
A guy like you
Gets extra credit
Because it's true
You've got a certain something more
Hugo
You're aces, kid
Laverne
You see that face
You don't forget it
Victor & Laverne
Want something new?
Hugo
That's you
All Three
For sure!
Laverne
We all have gaped
At some Adonis
Victor
But then we crave a meal
More nourishing to chew
Hugo
And since you're shaped
Like a croissant is
All Three
No question of
She's gotta love
A guy like you!
Laverne
Call me a hopeless romantic
But quasi, I feel it
Victor
She want's you so
Any moment she'll walk through that door
All Three
For
Hugo
Victor & Laverne
A guy so swell
A guy like you
With all you bring her
I tell you, Quasi
A fool could tell
There never was
It's why she fell
Another, was he?
For You-know-who
From king to serf
To the bourgeoisie
You ring the bell
They're all a
second-stringer
All Three
You're the bell ringer!
When she wants ooh-la-la
Then she wants you la-la
She will discover, guy
You're one heckuva guy
Who wouldn't love a guy
Like you?
Hugo
You got a lot
The rest have not
She's gotta love
A guy like you!

Dies irae, dies illa

Someday
When we are wiser
When the world's older
When we have learned
I pray
Someday we may yet live
to live and let live
Someday
Life will be fairer
Need will be rarer
Greed will no pay
God speed
This bright milennium
On its way
Let it come
Someday
Someday
Our fight will be won then
We'll stand in the sun then
That bright afternoon
till then
On days when the sun is gone
We'll hang on
Wish upon the moon
There are some days dark and bitter
Seems we haven't got a prayer
But a prayer for someday better
Is the one thing we all share
Someday
When we are wiser
When the world's older
When we have learned
I pray
Someday we may yet live
To live and let live
Someday
Life will be fairer
Need will be rarer
Greed will not pay
God speed
This bright milennium
Let it come
Wish upon the moon
One day
Someday
Soon

Frollo
The world is cruel
The World is wicked
It's I alone whom you can trust in this whole city
I am your only friend
I who keep you, teach you, feed you, dress you
I who look upon you without fear
How can I protect you, boy, unless you
Always stay in here
Away in here?
Frollo
You are deformed
Quasimodo
I am deformed
And You are ugly
And I am ugly
And these are crimes
For which the world
Shows little pity
You do not comprehend
You are my one defender
Out there they'll revile you
As a monster
I am a monster...
Out there they wil hate
And scorn and jeer
Only a monster...
Why invite their calumny
And consternation>
Stay in here
Be faithful to me
I'm faithful
Grateful to me
I'm grateful
Do as I say
Obey
And stay
I'll stay
In here
In here
Quasimodo
Safe behind these windows and these
parapets of stone
Gazing at the people down below me
All my life I watch them as I hide up here alone
Hungry for the histories they show me
All my life I memorize their faces
Knowing them as they will never know me
All my life I wonder how it feels to pass a day
Not above them
But part of them
And out there
Living in the sun
Give me one day out there
All I ask is one
To hold forever
Out there
Where they all live unaware
What I'd give
What I'd dare
Just to live one day out there
Out there among the millers
and the weavers and their wives
Through the roofs and gables I can see them
Ev'ry day they shout and scold and go
about their lives
Heedless of the gift it is to be them
If I was in their skin
I'd treasure ev'ry instant
Out there
Strolling by the Seine
Taste a morning
Out there
Like ordinary men
Who freely walk about there
Just one day and then
I swear
I'll be content
With my share
Won't resent
Won't despair
Old and bent
I won't care
I'll have spent
One day
Out there

Esmeralda
I don't know if You can hear me
Or if You're even there
I don't know if You would listen
To a gypsy's prayer
Yes, I know I'm just an outcast
I shouldn't speak to You
Still I see Your face and wonder
Were You once an outcast too?
God help the outcasts
Hungry from birth
Show them the mercy
They don't find on earth
God help my people
We look to You still
God help the outcasts
Or nobody will
Parishioners
I ask for wealth
I ask for fame
I ask for glory to shine on my name
I ask for love I can possess
I ask for God and His angels to bless me
Esmeralda
I ask for nothing
I can get by
But I know so many
Less lucky than I
Please help my people
The poor and downtrod
I thought we all were
The children of god
God thelp the outcasts
Children of God

Quasimodo
So many times out there
I've watched a happy pair
Of lovers walking in the night
They had a kind of glow around them
It almost looked like heaven's light
I knew I'd never know
That warm and loving glow
Though I might wish with all my might
No face as hideous as my face
Was ever meant for heaven's light
But suddenly an angel has smiled at me
And kissed my cheek without a trace of fright
I dare to dream that she
Might even care for me
And as I ring these bells tonight
My cold dark tower seems so bright
I swear it must be heaven's light
Priests
Confiteor Deo Omnipotenti
Beatae Mariae semper Virgini
Beato Michaeli archangelo
Sanctis apostolis onmibus sanctis
Frollo
Beata Maria
You know that I am a righteous man
Of my virtue I am justly proud
Priests
Et tribi Pater
Frollo
Beata Maria
You know I'm so much purer than
The common, vulgar, weack, licentious crowd
Priests
Quia peccavi nimis
Frollo
Then tell me, Maria
Why I see her dancing there
Why her smold'ring eyes still scorch my soul
Priests
Cogitatione
Frollo
I feel her, I see her
The sun caught in her raven hair
Is blazing in me out of all control
Priests
Verbo et opare
Frollo
Like fire
Hellfire
This fire in my skin
This burning
Desire
Is turning me to sin
Frollo
Priests
It's not my fault
Mea culpa
I'm not to blame
Mea culpa
It's the gypsy girl
The witch who sent this flame
Mea maxima culpa
It's not my fault
Mea culpa
If in God's plan
Mea culpa
He made the devil so much
Stronger than a man
Mea maxima culpa
Frollo
Protect me, Maria
Don't let this siren cast her spell
Don't let her fire sear my flesh and bone
Destroy Esmeralda
And let her taste the fires of hell
Or else let her be mine and mine alone
Hell fire
Dark fire
Now gypsy, it's your turn
Choose me or
Your pyre
Be mine or you will burn
Frollo
Priests
Kyrie Eleison
God have mercy on her
Kyrie Eleison
God have mercy on me
Kyrie Eleison

But she will be mine
Or she will burn!

Clopin and 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
Hello, you're there!
Where the lame can walk
And the blind can see
But the dead don't talk
So you won't be around
To reveal what you've found
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 sentance that's really the fun!
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!

Libera me Domine
Libera me Domine de morte aeterna
In die ella tremenda
Quando caeli movendi sunt

Dum veneris judicae
O, salutaris hostia

Bella premunt hostilia
Da robur, fer auxilium

Judex ergo cum sedebit

Quem patronum rogaturus
Cum vix justus sit securus?
Juste Judex ultionis
