Romeo and Juliet: The Spectacle Musical

It's the Day (C'est le jour)

Tybalt
I was but ten when Father said
The Lord made women for our pleasure in our beds
And maid or whore
Fair, black, brunette
I fill my store; I take whatever I can get
But all those girls combined
Were nothing to her
My only love
Just Juliet

I've watched, I've pined
I've longed and died
For fifteen years I've watched her grow
And stepped aside
And now she thinks she loves that son of Montague
A marriage made in hell, a chain of vice and virtue

Chorus
It's the day
It's the time
He will pay
For his crime!

Tybalt
Sweet Juliet, for your weak ways
Your lover with his life will pay
I'll wound him like she
Has wounded me
And when I'm done
Romeo will quit this world before the day's won

If women's hearts are prison cells
I made my own in Juliet's heart where I still dwell
But though I'll never tell, I'm damned to see her used
To let that gigolo her innocence abuse

Chorus
It's the day
It's the time
He will pay
For his crime

Tybalt
The day the thunderclap will light
Our glory in this final fight
I'll wound him like she
Has wounded me
The fight has begun
Romeo will quit this world before the day's done

Chorus + Tybalt
It's the day (Tybalt: My heart betrays me)
It's the time (Tybalt: I cannot help my ways)
He will pay (Tybalt: I act on jealousy)
For his crime (Tybalt: But I'll be ready today)

Tybalt
Don't talk to me of soldier's pride
For love the wisest men have died
Romeo, keep guard!
Today I'll tear out your heart
And very soon you shall see
You'll know the rage of a man torn apart
