Lyrics A Call To Pierre - Grace McLean feat. Dave Malloy

A letter from Marya Dmitrievna
Asking you to come and visit her
On a matter of great importance
Relating to Andrey Bolkonsky
And his betrothed

What?
What can they want with me?

Pierre, old friend
I'm sorry, it's late
I'm sorry I haven't seen you about
Where have you been?
Where have you been?
I have been studying
Pierre, old friend
We need your help
Pierre, old friend
The family name
We need your help
We need your help
There's ruin at the door!

Marya...

Natasha had let down the family
What?
Natasha had broken with Andrey
What?
Natasha has tried to elope
What?!
Natasha and Anatole Kurogan
What?

We need your help
We need your help
There's ruin at the door!

Natasha, that charming girl?
I can't believe my ears
So I am not the only one chained to a bad woman
And Anatole, that stupid child
They'll lock him up for years
For Anatole is a married man

Married?
He's married?
Yes
Oh wait 'til I tell her
Poor Andrey

Andy when Andrey comes home
He will challenge Anatole to a duel
And get himself killed
And all will be ruined

You must go see your brother in law
And tell him that he must leave Moscow
And not dare to let me set my eyes on him again
At once
