My longest Phantomization yet! I've been dying to do this one, yes; it came out of my own twisted mind. This one will have dialogue, because it's sung by more than one person. This is the entire Opera Company, singing 'How Do You Solve A Problem Like The Phantom?'
IMPORTANT NOTE: THIS BEGINS WITH THE ORIGINAL LINE 'SHE CLIMBS A TREE; SHE SCRAPES HER KNEE'.
Thank you!

How Do You Solve A Problem Like The Phantom? (From: The Sound of Music)
Idea from: Me (Be afraid. Very afraid)
Sung by: The Opera Company
. . . . . .
Firmin: He lives far down, way underground
Raoul: He once took Christine there!
M. Giry: It's in the dark, he's all around,
Buquet: And hides within his lair!
Christine: But in his home of darkness,
He's alone in his despair!
Andre and Firmin: He insists upon destroying all our opera!
. . . . . .
Andre: He's never seen at anything
Christine: And yet he's always there!
Raoul: He's always here, no matter what
Christine: He may be listening now!
Andre: As long as we've been saying this,
Firmin: You all still need to hear
Andre and Firmin: His disregard is ruining our theatre!
. . . . . .
Christine: A word before you make your choice
The Phantom inspired my voice!
. . . . . .
Carlotta: How do you solve a problem like a Phantom?
Piangi: How do you catch a ghost and pin it down?
Raoul: How do you find a word that means 'the Phantom'?
Christine: An angel of song!
Andre: A menace of sorts!
Firmin: A sound!
. . . . . .
Carlotta: Many a thing you know you'd like to tell him
Piangi: Many a thing he ought to understand
Andre: But how do you bring him here?
Firmin: And leave behind all you fear?
Andre and Firmin: How do you listen and follow his every demand?
. . . . . .
Oh, how do you solve a problem like the Phantom?
How do you hold a shadow in your hand?
. . . . . .
Christine: When I'm with him I'm afraid
All alone and feel betrayed
And I never know exactly who I am
Raoul: He's as brutal as a viper
Piangi: He's as violent as a tiger!
Firmin: He's a madman!
Carlotta: He's a nuisance!
Christine: He's alone!
. . . . . .
M. Giry: He could frighten any fright
Christine: Hiding in the dark of night
Raoul: He could throw a spinning lasso out of spin
Buquet: He is fearful!
Piangi: He's insane!
M. Giry: He's a riddle!
Carlotta: He's a game!
Firmin: He's a headache!
Raoul: He's a killer!
Christine: He's a man!
