A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder - That Horrible Woman

Sibella:
That horrible woman
That contemptible girl

Detective:
Countess Navarro?

Sibella:
Oh make no mistake
She's a venomous snake
And she poisoned the Earl!
And Mister Navarro was a pawn in her plan
I have come here to save him
He's an innocent man!

Detective:
Do you know what you're saying, Mrs. Holland?

Sibella & Phoebe:
He's an innocent man!

Phoebe:
That horrible woman

Magistrate:
Mrs. Holland?

Phoebe:
Do not utter her name!
You must tell the court
How she poisoned the port
And diverted the blame
Go and bring her to justice
Just as fast as you can!
As I've told you, my husband
Is an innocent man

Sibella:
She seemed tense and alert—

Phoebe:
From hors d'oeuvres to dessert—

Sibella & Phoebe:
And she flirted and batted her eyes at the men

Sibella:
Then she rose from her seat—

Phoebe:
Then she reached for a sweet—

Sibella & Phoebe:
Every gesture was planned

Phoebe:
Then—

Sibella:
Thinking no one could see—

Sibella & Phoebe:
No one saw her but me—

Phoebe:
In a blink—

Sibella & Phoebe:
She put drops in his drink

Phoebe:
That's a quote—

Sibella:
From a letter she wrote—

Phoebe:
In her very own hand!

Sibella:
In her very own hand!

Sibella & Phoebe:
That horrible woman!

Sibella:
That miserable minx!

Phoenix:
That libidinous jinx!

Sibella:
Every word is a lie!

Phoebe:
She's unspeakably sly!

Sibella & Phoebe:
And I hear that she drinks!

Phoebe:
Surely Mr. Navarro—

Sibella:
And so Monty, of course—

Sibella & Phoebe:
Was a pawn in her plan!

Phoebe:
He would not hurt a fly!

Sibella:
He could not harm a flea!

Phoebe:
You cannot let him die!

Sibella:
You must set the man free!

Sibella & Phoebe:
For Montague D'Ysquith-Navarro
Is an innocent man

Sibella:
It was done out of greed!

Phoebe:
It was done out of spite!

Sibella:
She wanted the title!

Sibella & Phoebe:
She wanted revenge!

Phoebe:
And my husband, she knew—

Sibella:
And she didn't care who—

Sibella & Phoebe:
Would be hanged for the crime!

Detective & Magistrate:
Dear lady!

Phoebe:
She—

Sibella:
As I'm sure you can see—

Sibella & Phoebe:
She's a merciless—

Sibella:
Ravenous—

Phoebe:
Man-eating—

Detective & Magistrate:
Monstrous!

All:
Assassin!

Detective & Magistrate:
A beast!

Sibella & Phoebe:
Monty must be released!

Detective & Magistrate:
And there isn't much time!

Sibella & Phoebe:
And there isn't much time!

Detective & Magistrate:
That horrible woman!

All:
That sinister wench!

Sibella:
Pray you do what is just!

Phoebe:
Stop the jury, you must

All:
Get a stay from the bench!
In the name of King Edward
We must do all we can!

Sibella & Phoebe:
As the ending was changed
When the nightingale sang—

Detective & Magistrate:
Fate must be rearranged—

All:
We must not let him hang
For Montague D'Ysquith-Navarro
Is an innocent man!
He's an innocent man!
He's an innocent man!
