Lyrics

[00:00.707] MATILDA:
[00:01.009] And so the great day arrived!
[00:07.387] It was like the entire world had gathered to see,
[00:10.874] The burning woman,
[00:12.912] hurling through the air,
[00:14.460] with dynamite in her hair,
[00:16.453] over sharks and spiky objects,
[00:19.346] caught by the man locked in the cage'!
[00:24.291] Everything was arranged by...
[00:28.436] the Acrobat's sister - a frightening woman who used to be an Olympic-class hammer thrower,
[00:34.953] and who loved nothing better than to SCARE the children of the town!
[00:40.170] People whispered,
[00:41.290] that in her dark and brooding heart,
[00:43.318] she resented her sister,
[00:44.890] both her success,
[00:46.255] and her love.
[00:50.696] Suddenly, out came the Escapologist,
[00:53.935] Dressed as usual in his tights and spangly costume,
[00:57.871] but there was no sign of the Acrobat,
[01:00.470] and no glimpse at all of her shiny white scarf.
[01:03.662] And instead of the usual fanfare,
[01:05.914] there was silence,
[01:07.146] as he solemnly strode into the ring.
[01:09.134] MATILDA + ESCAPOLOGIST:
[01:10.632] "Ladies and gentlemen,
[01:13.410] boys and girls!
[01:16.489] The burning woman,
[01:18.493] hurling through the air,
[01:21.045] with dynamite in her hair,
[01:23.448] over sharks and spiky objects,
[01:26.932] caught by the man locked in the cage,
[01:29.515] has been...cancelled!"
[01:32.313] MRS PHELPS:
[01:32.634] No!
[01:33.376] MATILDA:
[01:33.711] Yes. The audience gasped so loud,
[01:36.330] that a passing aeroplane caught it on its instrumentation,
[01:41.510] and reported it as an atmospheric phenomenon!
[01:42.275] MATILDA + ESCAPOLOGIST:
[01:42.566] "Cancelled, because my wife is...pregnant!" “
[01:49.165] MRS PHELPS:
[01:49.406] Oh! Matilda!
[01:51.825] MATILDA:
[01:52.196] Absolute silence.
[01:54.543] You could have heard a fly burp.
[01:57.299] Then suddenly, the audience jumped to its feet,
[01:59.822] and roared in appreciation!
[02:18.944] The great feat was instantly forgotten,
[02:21.356] and the applause went on for nearly an hour.
[02:24.063] MRS PHELPS:
[02:24.432] Oh, so it has a happy ending after all!
[02:27.488] MATILDA:
[02:27.787] Forgotten by everyone,
[02:29.640] except that is...the Acrobat's sister.
[02:31.351] When all had quietened down,
[02:36.017] she stepped forward and produced a contract.
[02:39.436] MRS PHELPS:
[02:39.852] A, a contract?
[02:42.031] MATILDA + THE ACROBAT'S SISTER:
[02:42.395] "A contract you have signed to perform this feat,
[02:44.619] and perform this feat you shall!"
[02:46.527] MRS PHELPS:
[02:46.848] No!
[02:47.818] MATILDA + THE ACROBAT'S SISTER:
[02:48.017] I have paid for the posters,
[02:49.092] the publicity, the catering,
[02:50.951] the toilet facilities!
[02:52.818] If I give the crowd their money back,
[02:55.399] where is my profit？
[02:56.715] A contract, is a contract, is a contract!
[03:00.481] My hands are tied!
[03:03.539] The burning woman,
[03:03.960] hurling through the air,
[03:05.617] with dynamite in her hair,
[03:07.788] over sharks and spiky objects,
[03:10.557] caught by the man locked in the cage,
[03:13.656] will be performed and performed this day or...
[03:16.945] off to prison you both shall go!"
[03:20.616] MRS PHELPS:
[03:21.695] No, no!
