Gossip Lyrics by Stephen Flaherty

Once On This Island (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

GOSSIPERS (Solos)
Now what can he want
With a woman like her?
Blacker than coal and low as dirt
He could have the world
But takes a peasant!
Perhaps his brain was hurt!
Look how she holds him
And touches and attends him
She believes
She can make him well
ALL
And she has him in a spell
DANIEL
You are my charm. Without you, I could never be whole again
TI MOUNE
I will never leave you, Daniel
GOSSIPERS (Solos)
Now, what do you make
Of a peasant like her?
Putting on airs without a doubt
When the boy is well
And does not need her
ALL
How soon he'll throw her out
DANIEL
Soon, I'll be dancing!
TI MOUNE
But for now, walk slowly, Daniel
DANIEL
The you must walk even more slowly
Ti Moune
TI MOUNE
Why?
DANIEL
So that I can catch you!
FATHER
Daniel!
DANIEL
Papa
FATHER
How long do you think
You'll be playing this game?
DANIEL
This is no game
FATHER
Surely you can't believe it's real?
DANIEL
I'm in love with Ti Moune!
FATHER
You are not the first
To want a peasant
I, too, know their appeal
But you are my son
You'll do what must be done
No matter what you feel
GOSSIPER
I know what he sees
In a peasant like her
GOSSIPER
Probably makes him rise like yeast
TWO PEOPLE
Well, the girl may think
She's very clever
FOUR PEOPLE
The boy may keep her here forever
ALL
But I can tell you this: They'll never
Stand before a priest!
