Lyrics Devil Take The Hindmost (Quartet) - Andrew Lloyd Webber

Devil Take The Hindmost (Quartet)

Ready on the rail?
Ready on the rail!
(Singing)
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh.
(Continuing tune over the rest of the song.)
Will she sing?
Will she flee?
What is she
Thinking now?
Is it him?
Is it me?
Devil take the hindmost.
(Spoken)
Ready on the floor?
Ready on the floor!
(Singing, simultaneously with THE PHANTOM)
Will she stay?
Will she go?
Does she know?
Even now?
Please, Christine,
Stop the show!
(Simultaneously with RAOUL)
Obey your heart
And sing for me
You want it so
Stay and be mine
Eternally
Devil take the hindmost.
Now it’s time,
So make your choice.
Do it for our son!
Use your head!
No time to wait.
Hesitate,
We’re all undone.
(Spoken)
Ready in the pit?
Ready in the pit!
(Singing, Simultaneously with Raoul and the Phantom)
Perhaps she won’t go on.
Perhaps she’ll loose her nerve.
Perhaps her voice won’t serve
And she will fail him now.
And then my child and I
Will get what we deserve.
(Simultaneously with Raoul and the Phantom)
Will she stay?
Will she go?
Does she know?
Even now?
Please, Christine,
Stop the show!
(Simultaneously with Raoul and the Phantom)
Obey your heart
And sing for me,
And sing for me.
You, me, the child
Eternally.
Devil Take the Hindmost.
(Simultaneously with Raoul and the Phantom)
Perhaps she won’t go on.
Perhaps she’ll loose her nerve.
Perhaps her voice won’t serve
And she will fail him now.
And then my child and I
Will get what we deserve.
(Simultaneously with Madame Giry and the Phantom)
Will she stay?
Will she go?
Does she know?
Even now?
Please, Christine,
Stop the show!
(Simultaneously with Raoul and the Phantom)
Obey your heart
And sing for me,
And sing for me.
You, me, the child
Eternally.
Devil Take the Hindmost.
Now it’s time,
No turning back.
All is on the line.
Here it is,
The final dance.
One last chance
To get what’s mine.
(Spoken)
I hope Christine is worth of you.
I hope her singing makes up for what your
blindness has done to Meg and me.
(Singing)
Devil take the hindmost.
(Spoken)
And curtain.
