The Cookie Chase

Lyrics

[CORA, spoken] Well done, gentlemen, and from now on, I want every man among you to be on your toes! (sung) Lock 'em up, put 'em away in the Jar! Time to start getting the nets out! Lock 'em up into the cage, quietly! No one must know Cart 'em off into the bin, turn the key! Quick, before anyone gets out! Turn the key, throw it away, there we are! Forty-eight to go! (spoken) Detmold? [DETMOLD, spoken] Yes— [CORA, spoken] Check in your patients [DETMOLD, spoken] Yes, your honor. Your namе, madam? [COOKIE 1, spoken] This doesn't fit, it's much too big! I wear a size three, wеll maybe a four [DETMOLD, spoken] Did you always hate your father? [CORA, spoken] Detmold, arrest her now and convict her later, there is really only one question that needs answering... (sung) Are they breathing? Then they're Cookies Are they moving? Then they're Cookies Are they living? Then they're Cookies So get on with it! Quick, get on with it! Are they human? Then they're Cookies So shut up, my dear doctor, and shut her up, too! Lookie, lookie, here comes Cookie now Naughty Cookie, playing hooky That, we don't allow You take the key, my love I'm too exhausted to move Music, I must have music A moment's music, or my head will burst! I know you'll meet the test You've been well rehearsed Do your best Meaning do your worst Let me rest And remember, Schubchen Women and children first! [CORA & THE POLICE] Mm, lock 'em up Put 'em away In the Jar Time to start getting the nets out! Lock 'em up Into the cage Quietly No one must know [ENSEMBLE] Lock 'em up, put 'em away in the Jar! Time to start getting the nets out! Lock 'em up into the cage, quietly! No one must know Cart 'em off into the bin, turn the key! Quick, before anyone gets out! Turn the key, throw it away, there we are! Forty-two to go! [FAY, spoken] Ooh la la, Monsieur Schub! [SCHUB, spoken] Not yet gone back to Lourdes, yet? [FAY, spoken] No [SCHUB, spoken] Pourquoi pas? [FAY, spoken] Pourquoi, you hold ze key to my heart! [SOPRANO SOLO] Ah Ah, ah Ah, ah, ah Ah, ah Ah, ah Ah, ah Ah Ah
