World's Best Dad

Amélie - A New Musical

Compositor: Daniel Messé

[Young amélie]
If I don't have the world's best dad
At least it's on his coffee cup!
And once a month I get to have my very own check-up
He's not the kind to give a hug
He was a doctor in a war
And though he never gets too close
That's what the check-up's for!

Oh, here we go
He'll take my hand inside of his hand
Though, there is the glove

And all that I know, he'll listen through his stethoscope
As my heart fills with love

[Raphael]
Amandine!

[Women]
Amandine poulain likes the flavor of stamps

[Gina]
Has a nervous twitch around her eye

[Georgette]
She likes a bath at bedtime
[Amandine]
And dislikes when my fingers wrinkle!

[Raphael]
Our daughter's heart is racing

[Amandine]
Oh dear

[Raphael]
I fear it might be broken

[Amandine]
She's broken?

[Raphael]
I worry that her heart cannot handle any stimulation

[Amandine]
What do we do?

[Raphael]
We cut all recreation and teach her at home

[Raphael & amandine]
We can keep her heartbeat stable
Your school is the kitchen table

[Raphael]
Now

[Amandine]
No need to take the school bus

[Raphael]
Just leave it to the two of us

[Amandine]
No germs or boys or bullies

[Raphael & amandine]
But say hello to your new classmate

[Amandine]
Would you like to name him?

[Young amélie]
Fluffy!
