Frank Wildhorn and Nan Knighton
Madame Guillotine
[MOB: MEN]
I know the gutter and I know the stink of the street!
Kicked like a dog, I have spat out the bile of defeat!
All you beauties who towered above me
You who gave me the smack of your rod!
[MOB]
Now I give you the gutter!
I give you the judgement of God!

[MOB: WOMEN]
Vengeance victorious! These are the glorious days!
[WOMAN OF MOB]
Women of Paris come gather your bloody bouquets!
[MOB]
Now gaze on our goddess of justice
With her shimmering glimmering blade!
As she kisses these traitors
She sings them a last serenade!

Sing! Swing ! Savor the sting!
As she severs you - Madame Guillotine!
Slice! Come, Paradise!
You'll be smitten with Madame Guillotine!

[MAN OF MOB]
The world may be ugly
But each man must do what he must!
[WOMAN OF MOB]
Give in, pretty dear!
In a year you will be pretty dust!
[MOB]
Now come let out lady possess you!
In her breathtaking, hair-raising bed!
She will tingle your spine
As she captures your heart and your head!
Sing! Swing! Savor the sting!
As she severs you - Madame Guillotine!
Slice! Come, Paradise!
Our Delilah will shave you razor clean!

[MARQUIS DE ST. CYR]
God, when did man lose his reason?
Save us, my God, if you're there!
God, can you not feel the terror
Like a fire in the air?

[MOB]
Flash! Slash! Glisten and gash!
She will ravish you - Madame Guillotine!
Slit! Madame just bit!
Give her more to bite! She's a hungry queen!

Sing! Savor the sting!
As she severs you - Madame Guillotine!
Slice! Come, Paradise!
Hail, Her Majesty!
Madame Guillotine!
