Stop! Wait! What?!
Album: A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder (Original Broadway Cast Recording)
Durasi: 1:48
[00:00.86]>So sorry to interrupt such a festive occation,<
[00:02.87]>But I am under strickt instructions to arrest you - <
[00:06.01]>for murder!<
[00:07.48]>Murder?<
[00:10.25]Stop! Wait! What?!
[00:12.61]Well I didn't kill Adelbert D'Ysquith
[00:14.43]Though that certainly was my intent
[00:16.31]Rather hard to digest
[00:17.37]that I could be arrested
[00:18.39]for something that I only meant.
[00:20.29]And it couldn't be poor cousin Asquith
[00:21.89]for he graciously died on his own
[00:23.72]Was that hole in the ice
[00:24.73]just a bit too precise,
[00:25.68]was my prescence at Chiselmere known?
[00:27.85]>Muder, did you say?<
[00:29.84]>I'm afraid so, your lordship.<
[00:32.70]Stop! Wait! When?!
[00:35.29]I shall doubt I was seen in the harbor
[00:36.93]Lady Hyacinth fell in so fast
[00:38.98]As for Salome's end
[00:39.95]all suspicion would send
[00:40.82]them at once to that backstabbing cast!
[00:42.61]did the beestings reveal my deception?
[00:44.42]was I seen at the weightlifting hall?
[00:46.29]How rude to intrude on this lovely reception
[00:48.27]for I am the Earl after all.
[00:50.05]Yes I am the Earl after all!
[00:52.04]Though It's come, I concede, at a cost
[00:53.91]But where was my blunder
[00:55.15]my weakness, I wonder
[00:56.00]is all of it now to be lost?
[00:57.98]is all of it now to be lost?
[01:00.16]>Murdering... whom?<
[01:01.78]>Lord Adlebert D'Ysquith, Eight Earl of Highhurst!<
[01:05.54]Stop! Wait! Who?!
[01:07.28]For the murder of Adlebert D'Ysquith
[01:09.02]were there ever a farce, this is it
[01:10.85]I am almost amused
[01:11.96]I should stand here accused
[01:13.11]of a murder I didn't commit
[01:14.85]>But surely, the Earl died of a heartattack?<
[01:16.45]>No, your lordship, it WAS foul play.<
[01:20.33]Of course, I should like to inquire
[01:22.08]by what method he happened to die
[01:23.84]but more to the point
[01:25.09]what events now conspire
[01:25.92]to lead them to think it was I!
[01:27.84]I've dispatched half a dozen,
[01:30.48]each one a cousin
[01:32.85]all of them quite by design.
[01:36.53]It is not a defense,
[01:38.63]it just makes no sense!
[01:41.78]His murder was not one of mine!
