The Sound Of Going Round In Circles (Original London Cast Recording)

Five years later Amélie is a waitress in a cafe-restaurant in Montmartre

This is the sound of going round in circles

August 31st, 1997. In 48 hours, Amélie Poulain’s fate will take an unexpected turn

This is the sound of going round in circles

But at the moment she has no idea...

This is the sound of going around...

Amélie, will you change the menu du jour, sil-vous-plait?

Suzanne used to work in the circus

Before she bought the two windmills cafe

After a trapeze catastrophe

That left her limping to this day

She pours a drink for Hipolito

Who's always working at the bar

He's written two dozen novels

Though he's not sold a single word so far

Each day I'm in and out of that door around a circle that I went around the day before

Around, around

Around, around

Around, around

This is their favourite sound

Around, around, around

That's Gina reading a letter

Sent by her dear late husband who

One day flew off with his receptionist

And their plane crashed into Peru

She has no feelings for Joseph

But he's a hard man to convince

They went on one date a year ago

And now he’s been here ever since

Each day we’re in and out of that door

Their favourite sound

Around a circle that we went around the year before

Georgette's the cafe tobacconist

When she's not throwing out her back

She's selling chocolates and cigarettes

Waiting for her next asthma attack

She's always worried for Philomene due to her dangerous career

Though every month she flies off again

Somehow she always ends up here

Each day we're in and out of that door

Around a circle that we went around

The year before

Around around

Around around

Around around

Around around

This is their favourite sound

Around around

Around

Around around

Around

AROUND

Around around

Around

Around

Around around

Around

Around around around

This is our favourite sound

Around around

Around around

Around around

Around around

Around

Around!

And that's the only way to tell the time
