Performed by: the Company
Note: this is best imagined with spinning disco lights and Buquet dropping from the flies holding a mirrored disco ball...
Sing and dance, laugh and jive, having the time of our lives (ooh)
Be a clown, knight or shade, dig in the masquerade
New Year's Eve and the lights are low
Horses, fine, and we're good to go
Heading off to the Op'ra, trying to forget
the fate Buquet had met
Got my mask and my fancy cape
Shiny tights, hope that I'm in shape
Time for friends, foes and family; gonna have a blast
Time to forget the past
Have fun, for it won't last...
Come to the masquerade! Swirls of blue, orange, red and jade
Masquerade! Watching that paper face parade (oh yeah)
Sing and dance, laugh and jive, having the time of our lives (ooh)
Be a queen, witch or maid, dig in the masquerade
No need for us to live in fear
Even after the chandelier
Six whole months with no Phantom, so long dear O.G.
Looks like he's history
Managers shout with glee
Come to the masquerade! Look the Vicomte thinks he'll get laid
Masquerade! Watching that paper face parade (oh yeah)
Sing and dance, laugh and jive, having the time of our lives (ooh)
Who's that man in red brocade, crashing our masquerade?
Crashing our masquerade?
