A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder Ensemble - The Last One You'd Expect lyrics

[LORD ASQUITH, SR.] Look at him No denying his humble start But it fills up this poor old heart When I see how well he's done Look at him All the loyalty he has shown How my fondness for him has grown 'Til he's almost like a son Some might have thought him unsuitable How quickly he's earned my respect Who would think that the D'Ysquith we cast aside Could become such a source of pride He's the last one you'd expect [SIBELLA] Who'd believe that Monty Navarro ever would come so far, so fast? Never seen a man so keen to overcome his past Now he can live in princely fashion, as the D'Ysquith name requires He can pursue with all his pa**ion everything he desires I must go [MONTY] Will I see you again? [SIBELLA] Well of course! Some might have thought him unsuitable They were, of course, incorrect I always believed in Monty Navarro, even though in retrospect Who would have guessed whose bell I'd ring this very afternoon? Tomorrow? [MONTY] Tomorrow [SIBELLA] Only just unpacked from my protracted honeymoon He's the last one you'd expect [WOMAN, spoken] Miss D'Ysquith, pardon me, Mr. Navarro is here to see you [PHOEBE] Look at me So completely in disarray Barely able to face the day Shall I saw I'm indisposed? Look at me I'm so terribly gray and grim Yet I'm cheered by the though of him Rather more than I'd supposed Some might have thought him unsuitable But what cause had they to object? Who but he Stood beside me to comfort me Out of all of the family He's the last one you'd expect [LORD ASQUITH, SR.][SIBELLA] Look at him Look at him now No denying his humble start Who would have guessed? But it fills up this poor old heart I am impressed how he's progressed When I see how well he's done A wife who meets her obligations is allowed to have some fun [PHOEBE] [LORD ASQUITH, SR.] Look at him Look at him All the loyalty he has shown Look what he's shown How my fondness for him has grown How my fondness has grown 'til he's almost like a son [LORD ASQUITH, SR. / SIBELLA / PHOEBE] Aaaaaaaahhhhhhh Some might have thought him unsuitable But if they took a pause to reflect They would seize On his matchless ability He's the best of the brink, oh He's the last one you'd expect [MONTY] Only two people left alive who stand between the earldom and me Only two who survive who are still above me, on the D'Ysquith family tree Is the next one my employer, Asquith D'Ysquith? Be he has treated me so well How ungrateful to remove him after all his kindness, oh, what hell But remember, he was hateful, Asquith D'Ysquith, was the cause of mother's grief He denied her Vilified her Took away her birthright like a thief On the other hand Has he not been rather decent Making me successor Must admit I hate to do it I've grown rather fond of him And— [MAN, spoken] Pardon me, Mr. Navarro, it is my sad duty to report that Asquith D'Ysquith has gone to his great reward [MONTY, spoken] Oh no, what's happened? [MAN, spoken] Heart attack. At least he did not suffer, sir [MONTY] Only one person left still alive who stands between the earldom and me [ENSEMBLE] Only one, only one, only one, who stands between the earldom and he Only one, only one, only one [MONTY] Only one above me on the tree [ENSEMBLE / SIBELLA / PHOEBE] Look at him (Look at him, look at him) Thanks to him I have been renewed By his virtue and fortitude He's the last one you'd expect [LORD ASQUITH, SR., spoken] After the tragic demise of Lady Salome, the sudden d**h of Lord Asquith D'Ysquith brings to seven the number of heirs to the D'Ysquith fortune who have died since last year [SIBELLA] Hmm? How very lucky for Monty Navarro [WOMAN] How astounding [MISS SHINGLE] How peculiar [ENSEMBLE] It's astounding and peculiar Yes, how utterly peculiar Monty Navarro, how have you come so very far? Monty Navarro, earnest and circumspect Monty Navarro, no one knows who you really are Who would ever suspect Monty Navarro, Monty Navarro, Monty Navarro Monty D'Ysquith Navarro [MONTY] I am the next Earl of Highhurst And the last one you'd expect
