‘Amelie’ Original London Cast
World’s Best Mama (Non-Album Track)
AMÉLIE:
World's best mama
World's best mama

NARRATOR (PRIEST) (Spoken):
October 14, like every other year Amandine Poulain lights a candle with her daughter in the cathedral of Notre-Dame, so God's love will send her a little boy

AMÉLIE:
World's best-

AMANDINE (Spoken):
Be quiet. Be still while I pray

CHORUS:
Ah ah aah
Ah ah ah
Ah ah aah

AMANDINE:
A little help down here
You know I'm really not that strong
And it's very clear
That my daughter's been a lifelong problem
Every night
There's all ways something wrong
So I could use a son

AMÉLIE (Spokеn):
A son?

AMANDINE:
To make everything right
Sing along

CHORUS:
Ah ah aah

AMANDINE AND AMÉLIE:
Wе could use a son
AMANDINE:
He would be my pride and joy

CHORUS:
Ah ah aah

AMANDINE AND AMÉLIE:
We could use a son

AMANDINE:
I'd be much better off with a boy

CHORUS (AMANDINE):
Ah ah aah
Ah ah aah
(A Son)

NARRATOR (Spoken):
Three minutes later, heaven answers her prayer and sends, from high above on the roof of Notre-Dame cathedral, not a baby boy, but a tourist from Quebec determined to end it all

AMANDINE (TOURIST):
(Au Revoir)
We'll come back again next Sunday
(Au Revoir)
It never hurts to give these things a try
(Au Revoir)
Let's hope that someone is up there
(Au Revoir)
AMÉLIE (Spoken):
At a falling velocity 76.77 minutes per second, at 52.34 miles an hour, with a terminal velocity of 57.9 meters a second, the large man from Quebec collides with the body of Amandine Poulain

(The tourist falls)
