Christopher Hampton - How Do You Choose lyrics

LUCH How do you choose? One of them is brave One of them is bright One of them is boring At the ballet One of them was sweet One of them was smart One of them was snoring Quincey's accent gives me gooseflesh Jacks rich voice holds me enthralled SEWARD Tra la la LUCH Where as Arthur, never opens his mouth at all MINA What's to be done? Living on a ranch Learning how to dance? LUCY Marrying my neighbor? MINA Who do you love? Which of them is kind? Which of them is wise? LUCY Isn't this hard labor? Quincey rides a palomino Jack saves lives and cuts of frogs Where as Arthur spends most evenings with his dogs QUINCEY Lucy you're perfection, won't you hitch yer wagon to mine? SEWARD Please, be my companion; turn my surgery into a shrine ARTHUR There was something I had to say... LUCY Yes, go on... ARTHUR Oh, never mind MINA Follow your heart Do you want ride Do you want to stitch? Do you want to lay low? LUCY AND MINA Three different worlds Galloping the plains Comforting the sick MINA Do you need a halo? LUCY Arthur may not be ambitious Not exciting, wise or tall But perhaps, I'd be best off with him after all Truth is, I love him and I always have done MINA Well then follow your heart and be bold LUCY He's aesthetic, and wise, and kind MINA You'll be together until you grow old LUCY I've been in love with him since we were children MINA Isn't it time the poor fellow was told? LUCY And with him, I feel peace of mind! SUITORS How did you choose? QUINCEY Given that I'm brave? SEWARD Given that I'm bright? ARTHUR Given that I'm boring? LUCH Nothing to lose Following my heart Opening my mind Loving and adoring ALL BUT QUINCEY Quincey missed it, by a whisker ALL BUT SEWARD Jack will take it like a man ALL BUT ARTHUR Whereas Arthur was finished before we began! ALL Love's mysterious, no you can never choose You're a fool if you think you can ever choose There's not a hope Not a chance Not the minutest opportunity No one can claim immunity LUCY Not you, not you. You!
