Les Bizarrables
A Spleen Full of Bile
BLAIRIUS:
A spleen full of bile.
A heart full of sang.
Full of opinions, never wrong.
Full of myself!
And I've got buckets full of pelf.
Dear Mad'moiselle,
Won't you say
That I'm swell?
LAURETTE:
A spleen full of bile.
No spear, no brochette.
BLAIRIUS:
My name is Blairius Sans-Merci.
LAURETTE:
And mine's Laurette.
BLAIRIUS:
Laurette, I don't know what to say.
LAURETTE:
Then shut your trap!
BLAIRIUS:
But I need...
LAURETTE:
Cut the crap!
BLAIRIUS:
A liver at last!
LAURETTE:
No phlegm mars my view!
BLAIRIUS:
And I'm choleric, just like you!
Laurette, Laurette!
LAURETTE:
This is a chain you'll never break.
BLAIRIUS:
How I burn...
LAURETTE:
At the stake!
BLAIRIUS:
A spleen full of bile.
LAURETTE:
A bile-swollen spleen.
BLAIRIUS:
Oh, let us go to Gretna Green.
LAURETTE:
Not in this scene.
BLAIRIUS:
Then off-screen.
LAURETTE:
How obscene!
BLAIRIUS & LAURETTE:
For it isn't just spleen...
Not just spleen...
Anymore.
AYONS-MINE: (interjections)
Spleen is never wise to use!
Why expect that it should be?
Humor's sense is never plain!
Not to me!
Not to me!
Not for me,
This spleen full of bile!
I must never feel this way!
