The World's Greatest Criminal Mind
Originalmusik:
Henry Mancini
Originaltext:
???
[Ratigan:]
From the brain that brought you the Big Ben caper
The head that made headlines in every newspaper
And wondrous things like the Tower Bridge Job
That cunning display that made London a sob
Now comes the real tour de force!
Tricky & wicked, of course!
My earlier crimes were fine for their times
But now that I’m at it again
An even grimmer plot has been simmering in my great criminal brain!
[Kör:]
Even meaner?
You mean it?
Worse than the widows & orphans you drowned?
You’re the best of the worst around!
Oh, Ratigan
Oh, Ratigan
The rest fall behind
To Ratigan
To Ratigan
The world’s greatest criminal mind!
[Ratigan:]
- Thank you, thank you.
- But it hasn’t all been champagne & caviar.
- I’ve had my share of adversity, thanks to that miserable
- second-rate detective, Basil Of Baker Street!
[Chorus of thugs]
- Boo!!
[Ratigan:]
- For years, that insufferable pipsqueak has interfered with my plans.
- I haven’t had a moment’s peace of mind!
[Chorus of thugs]
- Aww...
[Ratigan:]
- But, all that’s in the past!
- This time, nothing, not even Basil, can stand in my way!
- All will bow before me!
[Kör]
Oh, Ratigan
Oh, Ratigan
You’re tops, and that’s that!
To Ratigan
To Ratigan...
[Bartholomew:]
To Ratigan, the world’s greatest rat!
Mellanprat
[Kör:]
Even louder we’ll shout it!
No one can doubt what we know you can do!
You’re more evil than even you!
Oh, Ratigan
Oh, Ratigan
You’re one of a kind!
To Ratigan
To Ratigan
The world’s greatest criminal mind!
