[00:00.73]Looking Down the Barrel of a Gun
[00:02.73]LORD ADALBERT:
[00:04.83]When you're lookin' down the barrel of a gun
[00:10.04]It concentrates the mind completely
[00:14.92]And suddenly you'll find
[00:17.39]A love for human kind
[00:19.67]That makes you look upon the world more sweetly
[00:23.82]
[00:24.51]When all at once it seems your life is done
[00:29.39]You recognize it all goes by so fleetly
[00:34.28]There's so much left to do
[00:36.80]Except, of course, for you
[00:39.16]When you're lookin' down the barrel of a gun
[00:46.22]
[00:46.47]When you're lookin' down the barrel of a gun
[00:49.77](CHORUS: Down the gun)
[00:51.22]And the barrel looks right back at you demurely (Demurely)
[00:56.18]With an eye that seems to say
[00:58.34]Perhaps you ought to pray
[01:00.58]So sorry that you're dyin' prematurely
[01:05.25]
[01:05.52]You're grateful that you've had your share of fun
[01:08.56](He's had his fun)
[01:09.73]Though you suppose you might have lived your life more purely
[01:14.84]It's ludicrous to care
[01:17.12]It's neither here nor there
[01:19.44]When you're starin' down the barrel of a gun
[01:23.39]
[01:23.59]Oh, Lord, is this really your intention?
[01:27.26]Aren't men like me in short supply?
[01:30.42]Oh, Lord, I could use your intervention
[01:34.10]This cannot be the way I'm meant to die
[01:37.66]
[01:38.63]Do you really want to see me cryin'?
[01:41.43]
[01:41.93]LADY EUGENIA:
[01:42.16]Get up at once, you're making a spectacle of yourself!
[01:46.06]
[01:46.65]LORD ADALBERT:
[01:46.88]Eugenia. Put down the gun. Please.
[01:49.67]I know, I talk about game, bravery and courage,
[01:52.37]God save the queen and all that.
[01:53.99]But, I-I really don't want to die. I really, really don't!
[01:58.97]
[02:00.20]Don't you know I've loved you like a son? (Like a son)
[02:04.83]And I do not mean to say this impolitely (Do... say... politely)
[02:11.05]Consider then, the view
[02:13.58]I'd rather he'd presume
[02:16.38]Looking down the barrel of a gun
[02:20.16]
[02:21.58]Looking down the barrel of a
[02:28.61](Barrel of a)
[02:30.16]
[02:31.13]Uhhhh! (Dies.)
[02:31.93]
[02:32.61]LADY EUGENIA:
[02:32.97]Oh, for heaven's sake.
[02:34.64]Get up you old goat! Adalbert! Adalbert?
[02:39.35](Gasps.) Adalbert!
[02:43.06]
[02:43.26]MONTY:
[02:43.43]What?
[02:44.23]
[02:44.43]CHORUS:
[02:44.61]Gun!
[02:49.42]
