Kurt Weill
Our Master Is Free Again
[EMILIA & ASCANIO]
The master is free again!
Gaily we sing
Master is free again!
He didn't swing
There'll be no gloom again:
Happy are we!
Right in this room again
Genius will bloom again
Business will boom again
Master is free!
There'll be no gloom again:
Happy are we!
Right in this room again
Genius will bloom again
Business will boom again—
[NARRATOR, spoken]
Cellini enters, holds the lunch up
With details of his latest punch-up
[EMILIA, spoken]
Are you wounded? Are you hurt?
[CELLINI, spoken]
Not a scratch. Maffio is dead.
[EMILIA, spoken]
Ah! How'd it happen?
[CELLINI, spoken]
Let me tell you all about it.
