Devil Take the Hindmost (Quartet)

GUSTAVE:
[under, throughout]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh...

STAGEHANDS:
(Ready on the rail? Ready on the rail!)

RAOUL:
Will she sing?
Will she flee?
What is she
Thinking now?

Is it him?
Is it me?
Devil take the hindmost

STAGEHANDS:
(Ready on the floor? Ready on the floor!)

(RAOUL)/[PHANTOM]:
(Will she stay?)
[Obey your heart]
(Will she go?)
[And sing for me]
(Does she know)
[You want it so]
(Even now?)
[Stay and be mine]
(Please, Christine)
[Eternally]
(Stop the show)

BOTH:
Devil take the hindmost
Now it's time
So make your choice
Do it for our son

PHANTOM:
Use your head

RAOUL:
No time to wait

BOTH:
Hesitate
We're all undone

STAGEHANDS:
(Ready in the pit? Ready in the pit!)

MADAME GIRY/(RAOUL)/[PHANTOM]:
Perhaps she won't go on
(Will she stay?)
[Obey your heart]
Perhaps she'll lose her nerve
(Will she go?)
[And sing for me]
Perhaps her voice won't serve
(Does she know)
[And sing for me]
And she will fail him now
(Even now?)
[You, me, the child]
And then my child and I
(Please Christine)
[Eternally]
Will get what we deserve
(Stop the show)

ALL:
Devil take the hindmost

MADAME GIRY/(RAOUL)/[PHANTOM]:
Perhaps she won't go on
(Will she stay?)
[Obey your heart]
Perhaps she'll lose her nerve
(Will she go?)
[And sing for me]
Perhaps her voice won't serve
(Does she know)
[And sing for me]
And she will fail him now
(Even now?)
[You, me, the child]
And then my child and I
(Please Christine)
[Eternally]
Will get what we deserve
(Stop the show)

ALL:
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

MADAME GIRY:
(I hope Christine is worthy of you. I hope her singing makes up for what your blindness has done to Meg and me.)

MEG GIRY:
Devil take the hindmost

STAGEHAND:
(And, curtain!)
