Original Broadway Cast of The Drowsy Chaperone
Love Is Always Lovely in the End
[TOTTENDALE]
Love make lovers worry
Love makes lovers fret
But here's a fact on which we can depend
Just like long ago when Romeo loved Juliet
Love is always lovely in the end

[UNDERLING, spoken]
Romeo and Juliet was a tragedy, Madam.

[TOTTENDALE, spoken]
Oh, I never read reviews.

(sung)
Love can start a quarrel
Love can cause a din
But love has always been a trusty friend
'Twas a happy fate for Hank the Eight and Anne Boleyn
Love is always lovely in the end

[UNDERLING, spoken]
I must point out, Madam, that Anne Boleyn lost her head.

[TOTTENDALE, spoken]
Yes, she was in love![TOTTENDALE]
Love was good
To Eve and Adam

And Sampson and Delilah too


Why, yes, of course


Don't mind if I do! 

[UNDERLING]
Here we go again!

Good grief!
May I pose a question, Madam?

Why does nothing I say to you ever get through?[TOTTENDALE & UNDERLING]
Love is always lovely in the end

[TOTTENDALE]
Love sneaks up behind you
Love drops from above
But love would never consciously offend
Love has certainly been kind to me and my true love
Love is always lovely in the end

[UNDERLING, spoken]
But... your late husband was a brute!
[TOTTENDALE]
I don't mean him, you silly coot!

[UNDERLING, spoken]
Oh, Madam!

[TOTTENDALE]
Love is always lovely

[UNDERLING]
Lovely, lovely, lovely!

[TOTTENDALE & UNDERLING]
Love is always lovely in the end
Love is always lovely in the end
