tim minchin - miracle, pt. 2 lyrics

Loading...

[doctor]
a baby, mrs wormwood. a child. the most precious gift the natural world can bestow upon us has been handed to you. a brand new human being! a life. a person. a wonderful new person is about to come into your life to bring love, and magic, and happiness, and wonder!

[mrs wormwood]
oh, bl–dy h-ll!

[doctor]
every life i bring into this world
restores my faith in human kind

[nurse]
push, mrs wormwood, push!

[mrs wormwood]
i’ll push you in a minute!

[doctor]
each newborn life a canvas yet unpainted
this still, unbroken skin
this uncorrupted mind

[doctor and ensemble]
ev-er-y life is unbelievably unlikely
the chances of existence almost infinitely small

[doctor]
the most common thing in life is life . .
and yet every single life
every new life
is a miracle!
miracle!

[mr wormwood]
where is he? where’s my son?

[doctor]
mr wormwood! are you smoking a cigarette?

[mr wormwood]
what? oh, of course. i’m sorry, doctor. what am i thinking? this calls for a proper smoke. oh, my word, he’s an ugly little thing

[doctor]
this is one of the most beautiful children i’ve ever seen

[mr wormwood]
oh, my good lord. where’s his fingie?

[doctor]
his what?

[mr wormwood]
his fingie. his whatchamacallit. his doo-dah. what’ve you done with his fingie?

[doctor]
this child doesn’t have a “thingie” –

[mr wormwood]
what? a boy with no fingie? look what you’ve done, you stupid woman. this boy’s got no fingie

[doctor]
mr wormwood! this child is a girl. a beautiful, beautiful little girl

[mrs wormwood]
is there still time for the bi-annual inter-championship amateur sausage –

[mr wormwood]
dance competition’s over. you missed it. look, i don’t suppose we could exchange it for a boy, could we?

[mrs wormwood]
this is the worst day of my life!
