The Mystery of Edwin Drood soundtrack – There You Are (2013 Broadway Version) lyrics

[Cheering and laughing]

Chairman:
What's a king without a crown?
Take away his throne and gown!
He could be the rabble or the Russian czar.

Company:
Here we are!

Chairman:
Judge each creature of our race
By each feature in his face
Just look at him - I rest my case - for there you are!

Company:
There you are!

Chairman:
And it matters not to me what part of town you've come from,
We but cheer you've made it here at all!

Company:
Hip hip hurrah!

Chairman and Alice Nutting:
Here within this garish parish called the music hall!

Chairman and Company:
There you are!

Chairman:
How very glad we are that-

Chairman and Company:
There you are!

Chairman:
It isn't who you are but-

Chairman and Company:
Where you are!
And there you are!

Company:
And grateful are we to see how fine and fair you are!

Chairman and Company:
There you are!

Chairman:
Angela, mi'dear! Are you out there?

Angela Prysock:
Oh, Bill! Ha ha! Here I am, yes! Here I am! Yes! (Laughs)

[Crowd cheers]

Prysock:
I am standing with a gent who seems singularly bent
On attaching both his hands to both my knees!

Chairman:
Alice!

Nutting:
I'm considering the lap of a most engaging chap,
And I'll let him do exactly as I please!

Chairman:
Clive!

Clive Paget:
I've a lady down in front who's handed me her latch key,
Surely she must know that spells her doom!

Chairman:
Victor!

Victor Grinstead:
And these lovely people will bravo me, more or less!

Chairman:
Deidre!

Deidre Peregrine:
And this man has grand designs to show me in my dressing room...!

Chairman and Company:
We get it, there you are!
How distingue and debonair you are!
Just slightly west of Leicester Square you are!
Yes, there you are!
That thankful we all should be full well-aware we are!

So lightning quick let's all kick up a fuss!
We can but pray your trust is blind in us!
So drink your fill and just unwind in us!
A warmly wicked frame of mind in us!

You'll find in us, we want you!
And not a lot we care for where you've been!
And not a jot we care how you got in!

We but care that there you are!
Damned if there you are!
