‘Amelie’ Original London Cast
A Better Haircut
[SUZANNE]
I was working in the circus
With my boyfriend
I was flipping from a high trapeze
I'd fly off and he'd always catch me

Everything was going perfect in the circus
Until the day he dropped me
And then dropped me for the tattooed lady

[GINA & GEORGETTE (SUZANNE)]
She broke her leg in seven places! (I did)
Watched the tattooed lady take her place!

[GINA, GEORGETTE & SUZANNE]
You know our girl's a fragile egg
Don't you break her heart!
Or break her leg!
Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you!

[GINA]
I met a plumber on the Metro
With a tool belt
He was kind of bald, but good in bed
And fixed my leaky radiator

[GEORGETTE]
So you go out on a first date
Then it's too late
When you try to leave

[SUZANNE, GINA & GEORGETTE]
The jealousy and crazy stalking all come later
It seems like every single guy that strolls by
Doesn't stop until he controls my
Every thought and every move

[GEORGETTE]
Are you just the same
[SUZANNE, GINA & GEORGETTE]
Or can you prove
That you, that you, that you, that you
You
Are a lover for the ages?

[GEORGETTE]
Love is just another diagnosis
Like bacterial vaginosis
Once you're in it, you're committed
To everything that you've transmitted

Love is just another diagnosis
Like chicken pox, swine flu, streptococcus
Walking pneumonia, mumps, herpes, hepatitis
Syphilis, tetanus, human papillomavirus

[SUZANNE, GINA & GEORGETTE]
But the Mother of all diseases
That brings the mightiest to their knees is
Love, love, love
Oh yeah

[NINO]
There's no promises that I can give you
There's no guarantee that we will live to 80
Without breaking up or making each other miserable
But you know I think she understands me
I don't know why she would, I understand
She may not even feel the same
And I don't even know her name
[GEORGETTE, spoken]
Write down the address, Amélie Poulain. She's not in the bathroom, I lied, she's probably at home waiting for you. There you go. All good now. Enjoy

[NINO, spoken]
Thank you!

[SUZANNE, GINA & GEORGETTE]
All the while, while love infects us
The side effect is that love connects us
All good now
There you go
Woah!
Yeah!
