City Under Siege
Lyrics by Stephen Schwartz
Music by Alan Menken
CITIZENS OF PARIS
City under siege
There are soldiers marching in the street
City under siege
There are cries at night and running feet
CLOPIN
Frollo and his legions
Policing the town unceasingly
Cordoning the regions
And searching them one-by-one
CITIZENS OF PARIS
Little did we know
When our Justice Minister
Said the Gypsies ought
To be brought to none
Somehow it would grow
Into something sinister
Till we all were caught
In a city under siege...
ESMERALDA
You have to wake up now. Please... try and get up. We have to get out of
here.
PHOEBUS
Was I just... I thought I was...
ESMERALDA
Careful with that shoulder.
PHOEBUS
Did you --
ESMERALDA
Can you walk?
PHOEBUS
I think so. You... you just saved me, didn’t you?
ESMERALDA
No. I think you saved yourself.
CITIZENS OF PARIS
City under siege
There are squadrons flanking ev’ry side
ESMERALDA
I think you can stand on your own now.
PHOEBUS
It’s much more enjoyable leaning on you.
ESMERALDA
It’s dangerous here.
PHOEBUS
It’s going to be dangerous for us everywhere now.
ESMERALDA
I have to go to the Court of Miracles.
PHOEBUS
I’ll come with you.
ESMERALDA
No! You’re not welcome there.
CITIZENS OF PARIS
City under siege
And it’s hard to find a place to hide
ESMERALDA
Go to Notre Dame.
PHOEBUS
But there’ll be soldiers all --
ESMERALDA
I know a way you can sneak in.
PHOEBUS
Are you sure we can’t stay together?
ESMERALDA
Phoebus, Phoebus. We’ve got to go!
CITIZENS OF PARIS
Armored men on horses
Imposing a state of martial law
Marshalling their forces
To finish what they’ve begun
CLOPIN
Frollo’s spies had infiltrated the city, even inside of the church. If Phoebus
believed he would find refuge in Notre Dame unbeknownst to Frollo, he was
mistaken...
CITIZENS OF PARIS
Justice Frollo told us
That he was freeing us
From the Gypsy hordes
Who would overrun
Now we’ve got his soldiers
Overseeing us
Brandishing their swords
In a city under siege!
