Poor Monty - Lisa O'Hare, A Gentleman's Guide To Love And Murder Original Broadway Cast

SIBELLA:

Monty, it’s so strange

Everything will change

Think how our lives will be

I don’t know what you’ll do without me

Poor Monty

You’re awfully handsome and smart

Poor Monty

You’ll rise above

You’ll put the loss of Sibella behind

And you will find someone better to love

Poor Monty

Have I just broken your heart?

Poor Monty

Am I to blame?

It may look bleak, but in a week

I’ll wager you’ll have forgotten my name

I think I can picture her now

Young and willing

Oh, it’s thrilling!

In a way you’ll have me to thank

She’ll be perfect

A shop girl, a teacher

The sister of a preacher, or a widow with cash in the bank!

Poor Monty

Cosy in a cottage for two

Oh Monty

Soon there’ll be three

Nothing will stop your assent to the top

You’ll own your own shop

Monty I guarantee

And I’ll rue the day I turned you away

And I will say to myself:

Poor me

I can picture us now;

Very grand, in demand

Always somewhere exciting to go

Full of mayfair, we’re limited

As lovers, and haters

For being the people people want to know

My husband

Will grow distinguished and grey

My husband

Will always be:

Straight as a line

Steady and fine

Totally mine

Unfortunately

Dry as a bone

An insufferable drone

Dull as a stone

Poor me
