My eyes are fully open lyrics

ROBIN:
My eyes are fully open to my awful situation
I shall go at once to Roderic and make him an oration
I shall tell him I've recovered my forgotten moral senses
And I don't care twopence-halfpenny for any consequences
Now I do not want to perish by the sword or by the dagger
But a martyr may indulge a little pardonable swagger
And a word or two of compliment my vanity would flatter
But I've got to die tomorrow, so it really doesn't matter

DESPARD:
So it really doesn't matter

MARGARET:
So it really doesn't matter

ALL:
So it really doesn't matter, matter, matter, matter, matter

MARGARET:
If I were not a little mad and generally silly
I should give you my advice upon the subject, willy-nilly
I should show you in a moment how to grapple with the question
And you'd really be astonished at the force of my suggestion
On the subject I shall write you a most valuable letter
Full of excellent suggestions when I feel a little better
But at present I'm afraid I am as mad as any hatter
So I'll keep 'em to myself, for my opinion doesn't matter
DESPARD:
Her opinion doesn't matter

ROBIN:
Her opinion doesn't matter

ALL:
Her opinion doesn't matter, matter, matter, matter, matter

DESPARD:
If I had been so lucky as to have a steady brother
Who could talk to me as we are talking now to one another
Who could give me good advice when he discovered I was erring
(Which is just the very favour which on you I am conferring)
My existance would have made a rather interesting idyll
And I might have lived and died a very decent indiwiddle
This particularly rapid, unintelligible patter
Isn't generally heard, and if it is it doesn't matter

ROBIN:
If it is it doesn't matter

MARGARET:
If it is it doesn't matter

ALL:
If it is it doesn't matter, matter, matter, matter, matter
