A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder (Original Broadway Cast Recording)
You're a D'Ysquith
>Have you heard of the D'Ysquith family?<
>The D'Ysquiths? Why, yes of course. Hasn't everyone?<
>Then you've heard of Highhurst Castle?<
>Of course<
>You're aware, then, of their position, their vast wealth, and influence?<
>Yes. Yes. What's it got to do with me?<
You're a D'Ysquith
>What?<
You're a D'Ysquith
>No<
The D'Ysquith blood is flowing through you
>Me? A D'Ysquith?<
A genuine bona fide D'Ysquith
>Rubbish<
Of course, of course, you don't believe me, do you?
>You must be mad<
>Very well, then. If your mother was not a D'Ysquith, what was her maiden name?<
>She always insisted that the only name that mattered... was my father's<
You mother lived like a princess in every way
The daughter of Lord Maximilian
Till she met your father one fateful day
She knew it was love, and yet
The family declared she'd been led astray
By a climby, claimee Castilian
"Let him go or else you'll know
A life you will live to regret!"
This was no idle threat
"You're a D'Ysquith!
You're a perfectly breed-able D'Ysquith!
And a D'Ysquith does her duty, don't forget!"
There was nothing your mother could say
She eloped with your father the very next day
>So, she was... disinherited?<
>In a word, yes. Despicable, the lot of them<
>How awful<
Your mother made me promise I'd never tell
But, now she is no longer living
She wanted to spare you her pride in Hell
But, I think you deserve to know
Take this knowledge and use it well
Her family may yet be forgiving
This will guarantee
You the right to be
On the family tree
And it seems to be
Indisputably
Head to toe!!
You're a D'Ysquith
A D-apostophe-Y-squith
There can be no other way to view it
Montague, you're a D'Ysquith
I'm all of a sudden a D'Ysquith
Yes! And it's time that everybody knew it
You are the son of the daughter
Of the grandson
Of the nephew
Of the Second Earl of Highhurst! Your turn!
I am the son of the daughter
Of... the grandson
Of... >sorry?< the nephew
Of the Second Earl of Highhurst
>The thought occurred to me, why should I believe a woman who could very well be insane? Yet, there seemed to be an air of authenticity to this document<
I'm a D'Ysquith (You're a D'Ysquith)
It would seem I'm a D'Ysquith (You're a D'Ysquith)
Montague, I picture you at Highhurst
Yesterday I was Monty Nevaro
You could be an earl tomorrow
And Highhurst could be my hurst!
I'm a D'Ysquith
You're a D'Ysquith
A D'Ysquith
A D'Ysquith
A D'Y!! Squith
