In Our Childhood’s Bright Endeavor (Reprise)
[LILLIAN, spoken]
I think this calls for a celebration. Merry Christmas, everyone!

[ARMY & FOLD, spoken]
Merry Christmas!

[LILLIAN, spoken]
Merry Christmas. 

[FLY, spoken]
Not that merry after all, my friends. Bill Cracker, your time is up. 

[LILLIAN, spoken]
Stop! Don't let it happen now!

[FLY, spoken]
Too late, dearie. Two-timers don't get no second chance. Ready boys?

[HANNIBAL, spoken]
Sadie?

[FLY, spoken]
Hannibal?

[HANNIBAL, spoken]
Darling?
[FLY, spoken]
My long lost husband?

[ARMY & FOLD, spoken]
Huh?

[FLY]
When our childhood's warmth was banished
We were warmed in lover's arms
And we thought that warmth had vanished
Like our childhood's fading charms

[HANNIBAL & FLY]
But the sound of church bells tolling
Through our pain and our dismay
So inspiring, so consoling
It has brought us here today!
