Andrew Lloyd Webber — What a Dreadful Town Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

[RAOUL] What a dreadful town What a vulgar place What an awful mistake to have come here To be on display In that shameless way For the crude common lower class scum here How do they dare to treat us so? [GUSTAVE] Father dear Come play with Come and see this toy I bought [RAOUL] What a slum at most From our so-called host Did he think sending freaks would be funny? Could the fool have thought That our pride was bought By his filthy American money What a farce! What an outright slap in the face! An utter disgrace! I've got a mind to pack and go! Never you mind the debts we owe! Who would have thought we'd sunk this low [GUSTAVE] Father dear, come play with me [RAOUL] Gustave enough, the answer's no! (Gustave Plays a Song on the Piano) [RAOUL] Must you play now? [GUSTAVE] I think it's beautiful [RAOUL] What is it? [GUSTAVE] I don't know! It was just here on the piano [RAOUL] Well it hurts my head! [CHRISTINE] Please let's not fight dear I'm sure Mr. Hammerstein never intended a slight dear [RAOUL] How dare you patronize me? We should never have accepted [CHRISTINE] We need the money That's all That's why things haven't been right dear [RAOUL] Why doesn't it surprise me that I get the blame here? [CHRISTINE] Let's leave tonight dear If it would serve to ease your troubled mind Leave the hurt behind [GUSTAVE] Father dear, come over here And look at what they gave to me Wind it up and father see Look it plays a melody [CHRISTINE] Raoul... [RAOUL] What's this? (A doorman arrives with a note) [CHRISTINE] What is it? [RAOUL] It's from Hammerstein. He wants to meet me in the hotel bar, alone. Well, he may lack courtesy, but he does show a certain savoir-faire in choosing a business rendezvous. [CHRISTINE] Raoul, please... [RAOUL] Please what? [CHRISTINE] Nothing [GUSTAVE] Father never plays with me Doesn't he love me? [CHRISTINE] Oh, darling!
