I’ve Decided to Marry You Lyrics by A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder Company

A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder (Original Broadway Cast)

2014

[PHOEBE]
Mister Navarro,
Forgive my intrusion
I needed to see you
And see you today!
Mister Navarro! Mister Navarro!
I have arrived at a stunning conclusion
And I feared I would lose my resolve
If I did not come here directly to say:
I've decided to marry you
I've decided to marry you!
I've decided--though Henry's gone--
That life goes on for me!
I have thoroughly thought it through
And the man that I want is you!
Though, it's true, there are quite a few
Who'd strongly disagree
Nonetheless! I will marry you
I confess that I'm frightened to...
Yet, unless I am wrong, you long for love
As much as I!
This is quite unconventional, I admit
But why should that matter a whit?
And, if you do not say yes at once,
I think I'll die!
[MONTY, spoken]
Miss D'ysquith, you've rendered me speechless!
May I call you Phoebe?
[SIBELLA]
What am I doing here? This could be dangerous
If I'm discovered, imagine the scandal!
And I couldn't handle a scandal so risible...
I'll stay invisible; still as can be...
But what's going on in there? I can hear voices
I recognize Monty, but is that a woman?
And if that's a woman, than what is she doing here?
Is it a cousin? I wish I could see!
If it's that cousin, it might just be business
It's family business, and none of my business
But why is she here, in the home of a bachelor?
... Of course, one could point out that I'm here as well...
But does she not realize this situation
Puts her reputation severely in question?
The merest suggestion would cause a sensation
And I cannot hear, which is hell!
[PHOEBE]
I'll be warned not to marry you
I ’ll be scorned if I marry you
Still! I’ve decided
to live my life
Again!
Who’d believe how my life has
turned?
After grieving,
I’ve quickly learned
There is
nothing can bend the will like
Half-Castilian men!
And there’s goodness to spare
in you
And a gentleness there in you
You have taken a wounded
bird and taught her how to fly!
This is quite unconventional,
is it not?
Rather a turn in the plot
And so, will I be your fiancée?
[MONTY]
Phoebe, darling...
[PHOEBE]
When I recall this day,
I think I’ll cry...
[SIBELLA]
I could go home
I should go home
To live my life
and be a wife
Again!
I should be off
But he makes me laugh...
Nothing can bend the will like
Half-Castilian men!
Isn’t this fun?
Isn’t she done?
Family business, my eye!
This is quite unconventional,
is it not?
Rather a turn in the plot
Why don’t you send the cow
away?
When I recall this day,
I think I’ll cry…
Oh!
[PHOEBE, spoken]
What was that?
[MONTY, spoken]
What was what?
[PHOEBE, spoken]
That sound... Is there someone here?
[MONTY, spoken]
Oh! Pay no attention!
That's... My new manservant!
He's just... finding his way around!
I'll be with you in a moment... Wadsworth!"
[MONTY]
Isn't this madness? Who could foresee
How one trick of timing could ruin it all?
One in the parlor, one in the bedroom
Nothing between them but me and a wall!
Look at Phoebe! Noble and pious
My esteem for her only grows
But, when I am with Phoebe
I am on fire thinking of...
Sibella! Full of desire
Passion, and--dare I say it?--love!
But, when I'm with Sibella
Whom do I admire? None but
Phoebe! Perfect and lovely
Who couldn't love her? Heaven knows!
'Round and 'round and 'round it goes!
How happy I'd be
To be at your disposal
My darling, of course!
I accept your proposal!
[PHOEBE]
Now, we should
kiss!
Darling, but first,
I'll say this:
I've decided to
marry you!
I've decided to
marry you!
Let the trumpeter
call; a wall
will fall
and set me free!
I've decided to
marry you!
I will marry you!
Look what you've
done to me!
Monty!
Monty! Monty!
Monty! Monty!
Monty! Monty!
Now Monty, dear,
I think I now
should go.
But I still want to
marry you!
I've decided to
marry you!
How I'm longing to
marry you
I've decided to
marry you, marry
you, marry-
A shame; I must
go!
Go!
I'll-
Go!
 
[MONTY]
That would be bliss!
Phoebe!
Sibella!
Phoebe!
Fall
and set me free!
Then again, there's
Sibella...
Yes!
I'd be honored to
marry you!
I will marry you,
Phoebe!
Look what you've
done to me!
Phoebe!
Wadsworth!
I'm grateful, indeed
for your gracious
bestowment!
Yes, Wadsworth!
I told you
I'LL BE JUST A
MOMENT!
Oh? Oh!
Even so...
Yes!
I'm delighted to
marry you, marry
you, marry-
A shame; you must
go!
Go!
Go!
Go!
 
[SIBELLA]
What are they
doing?
What are they
doing?!
I wish this wall
would fall
and set me free!
Monty!
Monty,
oh
Monty!
Look what you've
done to me!
Monty!
Monty! Monty!
Monty! Monty!
Monty! Monty!
Just go...
Hello!
A shame; you must
go!
Go!
Go!
Go!
Go!
