- Kiss Me LyricsJOHANNA (counterpoint with ANTHONY):
He means to marry me Monday
What should I do?
I'd rather die
ANTHONY (counterpoint with JOHANNA):
I have a plan
JOHANNA:
I'll swallow poison on Sunday
That's what I'll do
I'll get some lye
ANTHONY:
I have a plan!
JOHANNA:
Oh, dear! Was that a noise?
ANTHONY:
A plan!
JOHANNA:
I think I heard a noise!
ANTHONY:
A plan!
JOHANNA:
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 —
ANTHONY:
Kiss me!
JOHANNA:
Oh, sir!
ANTHONY:
Ah, miss!
JOHANNA:
Oh, sir!
If he should marry me Monday,
What shall I do?
I'll die of grief.
ANTHONY:
We fly tonight —
JOHANNA:
'Tis Friday, virtually Sunday,
What can we do with time so brief?
ANTHONY:
We fly tonight —
JOHANNA:
Behind the curtain, quick!
ANTHONY:
Tonight —
JOHANNA:
I think I heard a click!
ANTHONY:
Tonight!
JOHANNA:
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 —
ANTHONY:
It's not a gate.
There's no gate,
You don't have a gate.
If you'd only listen miss and...
Kiss me!

I feel a fright!
ANTHONY:
Be not afraid!
JOHANNA:
Sir, I did
Love you even as I
Saw you, even as it
Did not matter that I
Did not know your name...
ANTHONY:
Tonight I'll steal you!
JOHANNA,
I'll steal you...
ANTHONY:
It's me you'll marry on Monday,
That's what you'll do!
JOHANNA:
And gladly, sir.
ANTHONY:
St. Dunstan's, noon.
JOHANNA:
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 —
