Poor Fool, He Makes Me Laugh/Il Muto Text

---

They say that this youth has set my Lady's heart aflame!
His Lordship, sure, would die of shock
His Lordship is a laughing-stock!
Should he suspect her, God protect her!
Shame! Shame! Shame!
This faithless lady's bound for HADES!
Shame! Shame!! Shame!

And must leave you with your new maid.
Though I'd happily take the maid with me.

You cannot speak, but kiss me in my husband's absence!
Poor fool, he makes me laugh!
Haha, Haha...

You cannot speak, but kiss me in my ...
Poor fool, he makes me laugh -
Hahahahaha!

Ladies and gentlemen, we apologize, the performance will continue in ten minutes' time ...
... when the role of the Countess will be played by Miss Christine Daae.
Meanwhile, we'd like to give you the ballet from Act Three of tonight's opera.
Are you alright?
Raoul, we're not safe here
Ladies and gentlemen, please remain in your seats.
Do not panic.
It was an accident ... simply an accident
