Devil Take the Hindmost

Miss Giry, I'm not afraid of him I've bested him before And if he ever had the courage to meet me face to face, man to man No, no it can't be Not afraid of me, you say? Stay back or I'll kill you, I promise you! Of course As you say, you've beaten me before But that was a long time ago, Vicomte And we were playing a different game Look at you, deep in debt Stinking drunk, pitiful Shall we two make a bet? Devil take the hindmost Look at you, foul as sin Hideous, horrible Call the stakes, deal me in Devil take the hindmost Our Christine shall choose tonight Let her choose (Is she yours or mine?) Draw the line If she sings you lose tonight (I won't lose) You leave from here Fine! Disappear Fine! And if she won't? If I win? All your debts wiped away Very well, let's begin Devil take the hindmost Our old game (You think you have the odds) It's been changed (You think you're in control) Every throw (You think you've fixed the dice) Riskier (Well, I will gladly roll) All the rules (I'll bet against the house) Rearranged (I'll even double down) Fate has redesigned most (Fortune's on my side) Cut the deck (I won her long ago) Let us play (I won her from you then) You and I (I wager even now) Once again (I'll win her back again) In the end (And when the game is done!) Either way! Devil take the hindmost! Now Christine shall choose at last Is she yours or mine? We've a son, our bond's secure Are you sure? What? Are you so sure? What do you mean? Such a child, strange to see Different, musical Huh? Is he more you or me? Which one do you find most? You lie Deal the cards (I call your bluff) Let them fall (The game is on) Choose your hand (And we will see) Try your best (Who wins out) He who wins (Once and for all) Wins it all! Devil take the hindmost! Deal the cards! (I call your bluff) Let them fall (The game is on) Choose your hand (And we will see) Try your best (Who wins out) He who wins (Once and for all) Wins it all Devil take the hindmost! She walks, you leave together Pockets full, debts paid She sings, you leave alone Devil take the hindmost Oh, God What have I done? Look at me The concert's only hours away
