Monsieur Andre Monsieur Firmin

Dear Andre what a splendid party

The prologue to a bright new year

Quite a night I'm impressed

Well one does one's best

Here's to us

The toast before the city

What a pity that the Phantom can't be here

Masquerade

Paper faces on parade

Masquerade

Hide your face so the world will never find you

Masquerade

Every face a different shade

Masquerade

Look around there's another mask behind you

Flash of mauve splash of puce

Fool and king ghoul and goose

Green and black queen and priest

Trace of rouge face of beast

Faces

Take your turn take a ride

On the merry-go-round

In an inhuman race

Eye of gold thigh of blue

True is false who is who

Curl of lip swirl of gown

Ace of hearts face of clown

Faces

Drink it in drink it up

Till you've drowned in the light in the sound

But who can name the face

Masquerade

Grinning yellows spinning reds

Masquerade

Take your fill

Let the spectacle astound you

Masquerade

Burning glances turning heads

Masquerade

Stop and stare at the sea of smiles around you

Masquerade

Seething shadows breathing lies

Masquerade

You can fool any friend who ever knew you

Masquerade

Leering satyrs peering eyes

Masquerade

Run and hide

But a mask will still pursue you

What a night

What a crowd

Makes you glad

Makes you proud

All the creme-de-la-creme

Watching us and watching them

And all our fears are in the past

Three months

Of relief of delight

Of Elysian peace

And we can breathe at last

No more notes no more ghost

Here's a health here's a toast

To a prosperous year

To our friends who are here

And may our splendor never fade

What a joy what a change

What a blessed release

And what a masquerade

Think of it

A secret engagement

Look your future bride

Just think of it

But why is it secret

What have we to hide

You promised me

No Raoul please don't they'll see

Well then let them see

It's an engagement not a crime

Christine what are you afraid of

Let's not argue

Let's not argue

Please pretend

I can only hope

I'll understand in time

Masquerade

Paper faces on parade

Masquerade

Hide your face so the world will never find you

Masquerade

Every face a different shade

Masquerade

Look around

There's another mask behind you

Masquerade

Burning glances turning heads

Masquerade

Stop and stare at the sea of smiles around you

Masquerade

Grinning yellows spinning reds

Masquerade

Take your fill

Let the spectacle astound you

Why so silent good messieurs

Did you think that I had left you for good

Have you missed me good messieurs

I have written you an opera

Here I bring the finished score

Don Juan Triumphant

Fondest greetings to you all

A few instructions just before rehearsal starts

Carlotta must be taught to act

Not her normal trick of strutting 'round the stage

Our Don Juan must lose some weight

It's not healthy in a man of Piangi's age

And my managers must learn

That their place is in an office not the arts

As for our star

Miss Christine Daae

No doubt she'll do her best

It's true her voice is good

She knows though

Should she wish to excel

She has much still to learn

If pride will let her return to me her teacher

Her teacher
