Magical Lasso... Lyrics - The Phantom Of The Opera - Andrew Lloyd Webber

BACKSTAGE 

(BUQUET mysteriously appears, a length of fabric 

serving as a cloak, and a piece of rope as the Punjab 

lasso. He is showing off to the BALLET GIRLS) 

BUQUET 

Like yellow parchment 

is his skin . . . 

a great black hole served as the 

nose that never grew . . . 

(Demonstrating his method of self-defence against the 

Punjab lasso, he inserts his hand between his neck and 

the noose, and then pulls the rope taut. With a mixture of 

horror and delight, the BALLET GIRLS applaud this 

demonstration) 

(explaining to them) 

You must be always 

on your guard, 

or he will catch you with his 

magical lasso! 

(A trap opens up centre stage casting a shadow of the 

PHANTOM as he emerges. The GIRLS, linking hands, 

run off terrified. The PHANTOM, leading CHRISTINE, 

fixes his stare on BUQUET. Sweeping his cape around 

CHRISTINE, he exits with her But before they go GIRY 

has entered, observing. She turns on BUQUET) 

GIRY 

Those who speak 

of what they know 

find, too late, that prudent 

silence is wise. 

Joseph Buquet, 

hold your tongue 

he will burn you with the 

heat of his eyes . .
