| [00:00.85] | I say, you there. Hands off that sword. Put down that book. |
| [00:07.82] | Isn't it enough we let you look? |
| [00:11.61] | I hate to dash your futile, little hopes |
| [00:15.16] | But you pay your sixpence |
| [00:18.06] | And stay behind the ropes |
| [00:23.04] | I cringe when every cobbler |
| [00:25.16] | Or butcher |
| [00:25.95] | Or farmer |
| [00:27.08] | Comes touching my bannisters |
| [00:29.26] | Banging my armour |
| [00:31.33] | They finger every finial |
| [00:34.05] | They poke your cornerstone |
| [00:36.18] | Who'd want to be reminded |
| [00:39.17] | Of what they'll never own? |
| [00:42.90] | Though my politics are purely democratical |
| [00:47.61] | I find the species frankly problematical |
| [00:55.27] | I don't understand the poor |
| [00:58.92] | I don't understand the poor |
| [01:02.22] | The lives they lead |
| [01:04.24] | Of want and need |
| [01:05.60] | I should think it would be a bore |
| [01:08.79] | It seems to be nothing but stubbornness |
| [01:11.99] | So what's all the suffering for? |
| [01:14.26] | To be so debased |
| [01:16.43] | Is in terrible taste |
| [01:19.01] | I don't understand the poor |
| [01:21.49] | To be so debased |
| [01:22.93] | Is in terrible taste |
| [01:24.14] | I don't understand |
| [01:24.85] | To summarize the heretofor |
| [01:27.34] | He does not understand the poor |
| [01:29.52] | I don't understand the poor |
| [01:30.89] | And they're constantly turning out more |
| [01:33.12] | Ever festering slum |
| [01:34.79] | In Christendom |
| [01:35.60] | Is disgorging its young by the score |
| [01:37.30] | I suppose there are some with ambition |
| [01:39.48] | Say the pickpocket, beggar or whore |
| [01:41.52] | From what I can tell |
| [01:42.88] | They do quite well |
| [01:43.85] | They're rising above |
| [01:44.85] | And it's work they love |
| [01:45.93] | But, I don't understand the poor |
| [01:47.80] | They're rising above |
| [01:49.03] | And it's work they love |
| [01:49.95] | But, I don't understand the poor |
| [01:51.99] | Where's the dignity? (ENSEMBLE: Where's the dignity?) |
| [01:53.93] | Where's the pride? (Where's the pride?) |
| [01:55.82] | The ignominity (The ig...?) |
| [01:57.69] | Putting the lame and the halt aside |
| [01:59.97] | Why accept charity? |
| [02:01.49] | I am perplexed by their attitude |
| [02:03.26] | I contend we extend them too much latitude |
| [02:07.81] | My tenants have no excuse |
| [02:09.68] | At Christmas I give them a goose |
| [02:11.97] | Where's the integrity? |
| [02:13.33] | Where's the gratitude? |
| [02:16.22] | I don't understand the poor |
| [02:17.74] | How I long for days of yore |
| [02:19.66] | When nary a vassal |
| [02:21.13] | Stepped into your castle |
| [02:22.10] | They knew not to darken your door |
| [02:24.07] | Now they barge in every Tuesday |
| [02:26.11] | With a sickening, thickening roar |
| [02:27.83] | Why clatter and trample? |
| [02:29.41] | Set an example |
| [02:30.21] | We teach them to read |
| [02:31.18] | But do they succeed? |
| [02:31.94] | When they're hungry and frail |
| [02:33.13] | We feed them in jail |
| [02:34.13] | We send them off to war |
| [02:37.12] | I don't understand |
| [02:39.29] | I'm not being grand |
| [02:40.21] | I don't understand the poor |
| [02:42.35] | I don't understand |
| [02:43.26] | I'm not being grand |
| [02:44.69] | I don't understand... |
| [02:48.10] | Oh, there's one I admit I adore |
| [02:54.53] | He's missing a leg |
| [02:56.50] | But a very good egg |
| [02:58.48] | A gentleman through to the core |
| [03:01.31] | Well, he may be a bit of a drinker |
| [03:04.06] | He can often be found on the floor |
| [03:06.98] | Through all of his pains |
| [03:09.26] | He never complains |
| [03:11.03] | He's bright and astute |
| [03:13.46] | A shame that he's mute |
| [03:15.74] | According to mother |
| [03:18.98] | He may be my brother |
| [03:20.45] | A fact we all choose to ignore |
| [03:23.32] | But, I don't understand |
| [03:24.54] | I'm sensitive and |
| [03:25.65] | I don't understand the poor |
| [03:27.83] | I don't understand |
| [03:28.79] | I'm sensitive and |
| [03:29.65] | I don't understand |
| [03:31.01] | They're a pox on the land! |
| [03:32.20] | I don't understand |
| [03:33.16] | I don't understand |
| [03:34.15] | I don't understand the poor |
| [03:38.97] | Don't understand |
| [03:41.20] | Really I don't! |
