"Ladies and gentlemen
Mr. Y is pleased to present to you
His final surprise of the season
A command performance by Christine Daaé
The most heavenly diva of this or any age"

"But first, for those of you
Whose taste is a little more earthbound
The sweetheart of the midway
The Ooh La La Girl
The incomparable... Meg Giry!"

"I took a little trip to Coney Island
To get away from all the city sprawl
I couldn't bear to choose which bathing suit to use So, goodness me, I guess I brought 'em all"

"But when at last I got to Coney Island
And found myself a spot upon the sand
I noticed something strange
There was no place to change"

"Uh oh!"

"And so I asked my friends to lend a hand
Girls?"

"Aah, ooh!
Bathing beauty
Take a look at you"

"Bathing beauty on the beach
Bathing beauty, say hello!
What a cutie, what a peach
Bathing beauty, watch her go"

"Posing under her parasol
She is what you call a real spectacle
Prim and proper with class of poise
But she's got the boys at the plaque to call"

"Bathing beauty on the beach
See her practically glow!
Wearin' a smile and hittin' Coney Island
Bathing beaut of a show"

"Bathing beauty on the beach"

"Stripes!"

"Ooh!
What a cutie, what a peach!"

"Spots!"

"Ooh!
Bathing beauty, bathing beauty"

"Checks! Checks!"

"Checks, checks, checks, checks!"

"Oops!"

"Bathing beauty on the beach
See her practically glow
Takin' the sun in 'till all the boys are runnin'
Go and unclothe her and get a tan all over"

"Wearing a smile and hittin' Coney Island
The bathing beaut of our show
Bathing beauty, say -"

"Hello!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, Miss Meg Giry!
The Ooh La La Girl!
In just a few moments, Christine Daaé, the world's most celebrated songbird, will be making her American debut here at Phantasma"

"Mother, did you watch?
Everything is sold
Mother, can't you tell the new routine
It went so well?
I was worried just a touch
That it might have been too much
Just a bit, well, rather, free
But just listen to that crowd
Why, they've never been so loud!
Screaming only for me"

"Meg..."

"And the master must have heard
Every note and every word
Mother, tell me, did he see?"

"Meg, stop it"

"Even he will now concede
I'm the only he'll need -
Mother, what's wrong?"

"Meg, sweet fool
You did all that you could
Charming, bright
And yet still not enough"

"Wh-what do you mean?"

"How you danced
They're all entranced
Yes, all but the one
Whose entrancement we sought"

"He wasn't there?"

"Where, poor girl
Do you think that he was?
Yes, that's right
In with her all along"

"With Christine?"

"Claiming of their son they love
Too smitten to spare you
One moment of thought"

"But you said -"

"All that you gave him
It's all been a waste"

"You were wrong!"

"All that you've done
It has all been a waste"

"Don't say that!"

"Now he has them
As for us we have
Both been replaced"

"No!"
