Bring on the Men
Sympathy, Tenderness Reprise
Dear Lord And Father Of Mankind

Sure-I have most of them.

I NEED TO KNOW
I need to know
the nature of the demons that possess
man's soul!
I need to know
Why man's content to let them make him less then whole.
Why does he revel in murder and madness?
What is it makes him be less than he should?
Why is he doomed not to reach his potential?
His soul is black
When he turns his back
Upon good

I need to find
A way to get inside the tortured mind of man.
I need to try
To separate the good and evil-if i can
one thing is certai-the evil i stronger
Good fights a hopeless and desperate fight.
I must find ways of adjusting the balance
To bring him back from the emtpy black edge of night

I need to go
Where no man has ventured before
To search for the key to the door
That will end all this tragic and senseless decay!
But how to go
I need o know!

I need to learn
The secrets of the mind that we cannot discern
I need to learn
The things that make men pass the point of no return
Why does a wise man take leave of his senses?
Where is that fine line where sanity melts?
When does intelligense give way to madness?
A moment comes
When a man becomes
Soemthing else...

I need to know!
Why man places this trange double game!
His hand always close to the flame!
It's a deal witht he devil he cannot disclaim
But what's his aim?
I need to know

Dear God, guide me
Show me how to succeed!
With your wisdom inside me
Henry Jekyll will follow whereever you lead!

I need to see
The truth other men cannot see
To be things that others can't be
Give me courage to go
Where no angel will go
And I will go!
I need to know!

I don't have Jekyll's Plea-but I do have Board of Governors
speaking sung

RECORDING SECRETARY
The Board of Geovernors of St. Jude's Hospital is now in session. Sir Danvers Carew, KBE, Chairman.
His Grace The Bishop of Basingstoke
General Lord Glossop
The Right Honorable Sir Archibald Proops, Q.C.
Lady Beaconsfield
Lord Savage
The Order of business will be conducted by the SEcretary to the Board of Governors, Mr. Simon Stride


STRIDE
Proposition No. 929-Presented by Dr. Henry Jekyll.

GENERAL GLOSSOP
Jekyll, you're all talk and no result!

BISHOP OF BASINGSTOKE
Forever asking us to endorse empty promises!

SIR ARCHIBALD PROOPS
What's all the mystery? Much ado about nothing, if you ask me.

LADY BEACONSFIELD
You're the laughing stock of your profession and polite society! The mad scientist!...

STRIDE
Order! Order!

JEKYLL
Distinguished governors,
I have glimpsed the future
Seen miracles that stun the mind
And marvels only science can find
And shape tomorrow for mankind
And I can show them to you
If you wish me to.

Friends, you're aware
There are two sides to each of us
Good and Evil
Compassion and hate.

If we could extrace
All the evil from each of us
Think of the world that we could create!
A world without anger
Or violence or strife
Where man wouldn't kill anymore!

A world of compassion
Where passion for life
Would banish the amdness of war!
I'm close to finding the key to duality
Chemical formulae which could and would
Alter the patterns of man's personality
Cuiding him either to evil or good!
Weigh the potential
The great possibilities
Colleagues-dear friends
Understand!
WE ahve a chance
To make history here in our hand!


Each of us is the embodiment of two distinct and opposing forces-good and evil-each fighting for supremacy inside us. If we could separte these two forces, we could control and ultimately eliminate all evil from mankind. My experiments with animals have led me to believe that the day is not far off when this separation will be possible. To achieve it, I must be allowed to try my formula on a living human being.

BISHOP OF BASINGSTOKE
And what if you're right Jekyll? And you do manage to separate the good from evil-what happens to the evil?

JEKYLL
There are dommed, broken souls
In a thousand asylums
I defy you to say you don't care.
If you can!
Int he name of compassion
And medical science
I can save many lives
If you give me one man!


BISHOP OF BASINSTOKE
I tell you now
The church will never saction it!


VARIOUS
sacrilege! Lunacy! Blasphemy! Heresy!

SIR ARCHIBALD PROOPS
You seem to be treading
On dangerous ground
In legal terms,
I'd say extremely unsound!


BISHOP OF BASINGSTOKE
The whole thing's un-christian
Barbaric and odd!
You're playing with fire
When you start to play God!


STRIDE
The bishop speaks for all of us
When he says you're playing God!
There's such a thing as ethics
Over which you ride rough-shod!


You're a doctor, not our saviour,
Doctor Jekyll, for a start!
But I judge from your behavior
Youc an't tell the two apart!


JEKYLL
Dear Mr. STride, I am simply a scientist
I have a code, to which I remain true!
I don't presume to the stature of moralist
I leave pretension like that, sire, to you!


SIR DAVERS
Henry, I've always encouraged your enterprise
And I've been hopeful that you would succeed!
But in the face of these powerful arguments,
I see no choice but for you to concede!


JEKYLL
I know my fate is your to choose
But if they win, the world will lose
I am on the brink of great success!
I beg you governors
You must say "YES!"


LADY BEACONSFIELD
Doctor Jekyll,
Enouch of this ranting sir!
This is a hospital
Here to save lives!


GOVERNORS
Do you think
We would let you play hvoc
With all the high principles
For which it strives?

Do you expect us
To compromis all that we stand for
Indulging your dangerous games!

How many rules should we break
For your dubious aims?


JEKYLL
Can't you see?
I am not playing games!
Just give me the opportunity!


GENERAL GLOSSOP
This whole things too bizarre!

SIR DANVERS
Open your eyes and see!

BISHOP OF BASINGSTOKE
This man has gone too far!

JEKYLL
Unless you listen to me...

STRIDE
Doctor, please watch your tone!
Dammit man, can't you see?
You're on your own!


JEKYLL (overlapping with governors)
Fools!
You fools!
God damn...
...Your rules
Look at yourselves!
Civilized men!
Why can't you see?


(next lines overlapping with Jekyll)
DANVERS
Henry!

PROOPS:
Jekyll!

BISHOP
Blasphemy!

GEN. GLOSSOP
Mutiny!

LORD SAVAGE
Damn me!

LADY BEACONSFIELD
Really!

SIR DANVERS
Henry!

(stop overlapping)
STRIVE
Order! Order!

JEKYLL
If I ever needed further justification for my experiments, gentlemen, you have just provided it!

Just look at what has happened here!
Mix anger with a touch of fear
The danger's all too crystal-clear
Just look at you
Our darker side keeps breaking through
Observe it now-in me and you!
The evil that all men can do
Must be controlled!
I beg of you!
I'll show you all
It can be done!

Here is a chance to take charge of our fate
Deep down you must know
That tomorrow's too late!
One rule of life we cannot rearrange
The only thing constant is change
The only thing constant is change!


STRIDE
Distinguised colleagues,
Your berdict, please.
All those in favor say "Aye"
All those opposed say "Nay"


GOVERNORS
Nay! Nay! Nay! Nay!
Positively-Absolutely Nay!


STRIDE
Sir Danvers?

SIR DANVERS
Abstain

STRIDE
By five voted to none with one abstenion

Proposition 929 is rejected!

Thank you for your time, Dr. Jekyll

SIR DANVERS
I'm truly sorry, Henry.

JEKYLL
All these precious years
I've dedicated to this dream
Now with a word
They claim the power
To deny me!

Who are they to judge what I am doing?
They know nothing
Of the endless possibilities I see!

It's ludicrous
I'm bound by their decision
Seems vision is a word they've never heard!
If it mattered less,
I'd treat it with derision
It's absurd!

And yet the fact remains
Those bastards hold the reins!


STRIDE
I'm so sorry, Doctor Jekyll.
What a really rotten sahme!
I so hope that what has happened
Won't destroy your precious name.


JEKYLL
I despise you!
You have stolen the girl
Who should be my wife!

But there'll come a day
Not so far away
When you'll not only pay
You will pay all your life!
milkywhite24601

By the way-those songs (and Bring on the Men-but that's already posted so I didn't put the lyrics) and some others I'm not sure if you have can be found on "The Complete Work, Jekyll & Hyde" with Anthony Warlow, Carolee Carmello and Linda Eder.
