I like to refer to the three men who sing this song as Jekyll's Groupies, because their only function in the movie is to come in and sing about how, despite any and all evidence that may be presented to the contrary, Henry Jekyll is a saint and all the suspicious things he's doing really can't be that bad, thus providing an obvious but nonetheless effective irony to the film. Why do these three gentlemen trust so highly in the angelic quality of Jekyll's character? Like any good slashfic fan, I vote repressed fanboy crushes.
Lyrics
Groupie 1: (speaking)
Has anyone seen Henry Jekyll lately?Groupie 2:
Not since the Danvers' dinner party.Groupie 1:
I came upon his man Poole the other dayGroupie 3:
Oh what did he say?Groupie 2:
Oh only that Jekyll's been very, very busy lately.Groupie 1: (singing)
Locked in his laboratoryGroupie 2:
he's working day and night -
Were it not for purchasing his chemicals
he'd never get a breath of air!
I'd never ask of course,
of course!Groupie 3:
Of course!Groupie 1:
...But what's he doing in there?Unknown Groupie 1:
Tuesday last you may recall the moon was rather bright,Unknown Groupie 2:
as I passed I chanced to see the printing on the package there beside his door!
I'd never ask of course,
of course!Unknown Groupie 3:
Of course!Unknown Groupie 1:
… but what's the arsenic for?All Groupies Together: (Chorus)
Though on the surfaceGroupie 1: (speaking)
it might be misunderstood -
totally misunderstood.
Still,
whatever it is,
whatever Jekyll's doing,
I'm sure it's something very very good!
Yes!
Whatever it is,
whatever Jekyll's doing,
I'm sure it's something very very good!
Good man, Jekyll.Groupie 2:
The best!Groupie 3:
The best!Groupie 1:
Even if he is Canadian.Groupie 2:
...Canadian!Groupie 3:
...Locked in there?Groupie 1:
...Arsenic?All Groupies Together: (Chorus)
Though on the surface
it might be misunderstood -
totally misunderstood.
Still,
whatever it is,
whatever Jekyll's doing,
I'm sure it's something very very good!
Yes!
Whatever it is,
whatever Jekyll's doing,
I'm sure it's something very,
very,
very very good!
