Kiss Me - Stephen Sondheim

He means to marry me Monday

What shall I do?

I’d rather die

I have a plan —

I’ll swallow poison on Sunday

That’s what I’ll do, I’ll get some lye

I have a plan —

Oh, dear, was that a noise?

A plan—

I think I heard a noise

A plan!

It couldn’t be

He’s in court

He’s in court today

Still that was a noise

Wasn’t that a noise?

You must have heard that —

Kiss me

Oh, sir…

Ah, miss …

Oh, sir …

If he should marry me Monday

What shall I do?

I’ll die of grief

We fly tonight —

'Tis Friday, virtually Sunday

What can we do with time so brief?

We fly tonight —

Behind the curtain — quick!

Tonight —

I think I heard a click!

Tonight!

It was a gate!

It’s the gate!

We don’t have a gate

Still there was a — Wait!

There’s another click!

You must have heard that —

It’s not a gate

There’s no gate

You don’t have a gate

If you’d only listen, miss, and

Kiss me!

Tonight?

Kiss me

You mean tonight?

The plan is made

Oh, sir!

So kiss me

I feel a fright

Be not afraid

Sir, I did

​love you even as I

​saw you, even as it

​did not matter that I

​did not know your name

Tonight I’ll

​steal

​you

Johanna

I’ll steal you

It’s me you’ll marry on Monday

That’s what you’ll do!

And gladly, sir

St. Dunstan’s, noon

I knew I’d be with you one day

Even not knowing who you were

I feared you’d never come

That you’d been called away

That you’d been killed

Had the plague

Were in debtor’s jail

Trampled by a horse

Gone to sea again

Arrested by the —

Ah, miss

Marry me, marry me, miss

Oh, marry me Monday!

Favor me, favor me

​with your hand

Promise

Marry me, marry me, please

Oh, marry me Monday —

Kiss me!

Of course

Quickly!

You’re sure?

Kiss me!

I shall!

Kiss me!

Oh, sir …
