MORNING IN PARIS

THE CITY AWAKES

TO THE BELLS OF NOTRE DAME

THE FISHERMAN FISHES

THE BAKER-MAN BAKES

TO THE BELLS OF NOTRE DAME

TO THE BIG BELLS AS LOUD AS THE THUNDER

TO THE LITTLE BELLS SOFT AS A PSALM

AND SOME SAY THE SOUL

OF THE CITY'S THE TOLL

OF THE BELLS

THE BELLS OF NOTRE DAME

LONG YEARS AGO DID THIS STORY BEGIN

IN THIS PLACE OF NOTRE DAME

TWO ORPHAN BROTHERS WERE BOTH TAKEN IN

BY THE GRACE OF NOTRE DAME

CLAUDE, THE OLDER WHO CARED FOR HIS BROTHER

YOUNG JEHAN, FULL OF BEAUTY AND CHARM

AND THEY LIVED AND THEY GREW

AND AWOKE TO THE MUSIC OF BELLS

THE BELLS OF NOTRE DAME

KYRIE ELEISON

OH DEAR BROTHER

MEET THESE ARCHES AND THIS SACRED DOME

KYRIE ELEISON

WE ARE BLESSED TO FIND OUR SANCTUARY AND OUR HOME

RIGHTEOUS CLAUDE FROLLO

WAS EVER MORE DRAWN

LIKE A SON TO NOTRE DAME

NOT LIKE HIS PROFLIGATE BROTHER JEHAN

WHO'D HAVE NONE OF NOTRE DAME

THOUGH AS BROTHERS THEY LOVED ONE ANOTHER

FROLLO WATCHED IN DESPAIR AND ALARM

AS JEHAN WHO GREW WILD

AND DEFIED AND DEFILED

ALL THE LAWS

THE LAWS OF NOTRE DAME

KYRIE ELEISON

FATHER DUPIN: YOU MUST LEAVE, JEHAN

THIS HOLY REFUGE WHERE YOU'VE DWELLED

KYRIE ELEISON

JEHAN: Leave? But Father—

FATHER DUPIN: SORRY CLAUDE, BUT I'VE NO CHOICE

YOUR BROTHER IS EXPELLED

CONGREGATION: And Frollo didn't hear from his brother for several years. Meanwhile

FROLLO WAS SENT IN

UNCOMMONLY FAST THROUGH THE RANKS

OF NOTRE DAME

TILL HE WAS NAMED THE ARCHDEACON AT LAST

AND GAVE THANKS TO NOTRE DAME

AND THEN ONE AWFUL DAY GOT A MESSAGE

AND THE NAME THAT IT BORE WAS "JEHAN"

AND CONCEALING HIS FACE

FROLLO STROLLED TO A PLACE

FAR AWAY... AWAY FROM NOTRE DAME

FROLLO: Jehan, let me take you back. I'll bring you home

BROTHER DEAREST, COME WITH ME

WHERE WE WILL FIND A REMEDY

AND NOTRE DAME ONCE MORE WILL BE

YOUR SANCTUARY

HEALING YOU WILL BE MY GOAL

NOT JUST YOUR BODY, BUT YOUR SOUL

WE'LL BE TOGETHER IN OUR HOLY SANCTUARY

JEHAN: Enough, Claude! It's too late for me anyway. But if you have truly discovered charity at this late date, there is someone you can help

FROLLO: A baby? Yours? A... a monster! It's God's punishment on you! The wicked shall not go unpunished!

JEHAN: I should have known! I was a fool to think you'd look after him!

FROLLO: Look after him? Me?

JEHAN: He hasn't anybody else!

Take him... if you can find anymore heart

FROLLO: Jehan? Jehan?!

DIES IRAE

DIES ILLA

SOLVET SAECLUM

IN FAVILLA

KYRIE ELEISON

AND THE SAINTS REGARDED FROLLO

FROM THEIR STONE FACADE

KYRIE ELEISON

AND HE FELT THEIR GAZE

AS IF IT WERE THE EYES OF GOD

FROLLO: Oh Lord, you've sent me a test. This child is my cross bare. I may not have saved my brother, but I will save this... thing

SEE THIS LONESOME CREATURE

FROM WHOM LESSER MEN WOULD FLEE

I WILL KEEP AND CARE FOR HIM

AND TEACH HIM AT MY KNEE

TO THINK LIKE ME

CONGREGATION: And Frollo gave the child a name. A cruel name that means half-formed... Quasimodo!

NOW HERE IS A RIDDLE TO GUESS IF YOU CAN

SING THE BELLS OF NOTRE DAME

WHAT MAKES A MONSTER

AND WHAT MAKES A MAN?

SING THE BELLS, BELLS, BELLS

BELLS, BELLS, BELLS, BELLS, BELLS

THE BELLS OF NOTRE DAME
