Alan Menken
Top of the World
[LONI]
Quasimodo,don't be so shy

[ANTOINE]
She's waiting for you

{CHARLES]
Think of something to say

[LONI]
Think of something to do

[ANTOINE]
I know

{GARGOYLES]
Show her the view

[QUASIMODO]
(spoken)
See, view?


[ESMERALDA]
(spoken)
I bet the king himself doesn't have a view like this
(sung)
Gazing down from the top of the world
Suddenly seeing a different city
Quaint and pretty and friendly and fair
Seen from the top of the world

When my outlook is a glum one
And I need a kinder point of view
Look how quick it can become one
With someone like you to

Show me life from the top of the world
Nothing needs righting and no one needs pity
Thanks for bringing me into the air
And giving me Paris unfurled
Here at the top of the world

[ANTOINE]
Why are you standing like a statue made of stone?

[LONI]
Quasimodo,-

[ANTOINE/LONI]
-say something!
[ANTOINE]
You're with a girl

[CHARLES]
And what a girl!

[LONI]
And you're alone-

[GARGOYLES]
At the top of the world!

[LONI]
She looked at you!

[CHARLES]
Right at you!

[ANTOINE]
And she didn't scream

[LONI]
-or faint

[CHARLES]
Or lose her feed
[GARGOYLES]
What more proof that she likes you
Could anyone possibly need?

What are you waiting for?Don't waste this precious chance
Quasimodo, do something!

[CHARLES]
The master's gone

[LONI]
-and here's a girl made for romance

[ANTOINE]
-every curve so well-curled

[GARGOYLES]
At the top of the world!

[ESMERALDA (GARGOYLES)]
Gazing down from the top of the world
(Why are you standing like a statue made of stone?)
Suddenly seeing a different city
(Quasimodo, say something!)
Quaint and pretty and friendly and fair
(You're with a girl, and what a girl! And you're alone)
Seen from the top of the world
(At the top of the world!)

When my outlook is a glum one
(She looked at you! Right at you!)
And I need a kinder point of view
(And she didn't scream or faint or lose her feed.)
Look how quick it can become one
(What more proof that she likes you)
With someone like you to
(could anyone possibly need?)

Show me life from the top of the world
(What are you waiting for?Don't waste this precious chance.)
Nothing needs righting and no one needs pity
(Quasimodo, do something!)
Thanks for bringing me into the air
(The master's gone and here's a girl made for romance)
Here at the top of the world
(every curve so well-curled.)

[LONI]
Say something romantic

[CHARLES]
That's funny and fitting

[ANTOINE]
It's making us frantic

[LONI]
The seconds are flitting

[ANTOINE]
See how the clock can tick

[CHARLES]
She may take up knitting

[LONI]
Please take our advice here
We have to entice here

[GARGOYLES]
We don't mind admitting
We want to throw rice here


Oh well, I guess silence
Will have to suffice here

[QUASIMODO]
(spoken)
Esmeralda...

[ESMERALDA]
(spoken)
What?

[QUASIMODO]
It's nice here
The two of us sitting

[ESMERALDA]
The two of us sitting

[GARGOYLES]
The two of them sitting
Sitting on top of the world!
