Lyrics:

Frollo:
Beata Maria
You know I am a righteous man
Of my virtue I am justly proud

Priests:
Et tibit Pater (And to you, Father)

Frollo:
Beata Maria
You know I'm so much purer than
The common, vulgar, weak, licentious crowd

Priests:
Quia peccavi nimis (That I have sinned)

Frollo:
Then tell me, Maria
Why I see her dancing there
Why her smold'ring eyes still scorch my soul

Priests:
Cogitatione (In thought)

Frollo:
I feel her, I see her
The sun caught in raven hair
Is blazing in me out of all control

Priests:
Verbo et opere (In word and deed)

Frollo:
Like fire
Hellfire
This fire in my skin
This burning
Desire
Is turning me to sin

It's not my fault

Priests:
Mea culpa (Through my fault)

Frollo:
I'm not to blame

Priests:
Mea culpa (Through my fault)

Frollo:
It is the gypsy girl
The witch who sent this flame

Priests:
Mea maxima culpa (Through my most griveous fault)

Frollo:
It's not my fault

Priests:
Mea culpa (Through my fault)

Frollo:
If in God's plan

Priests:
Mea culpa (Through my fault)

Frollo:
He made the devil so much
Stronger than a man

Priests:
Mea maxima culpa (Through my most griveous fault)

Frollo:
Protect me, Maria
Don't let this siren cast her spell
Don't let her fire sear my flesh and bone
Destroy Esmeralda
And let her taste the fires of hell
Or else let her be mine and mine alone

Guard:
Minister Frollo, the gypsy has escaped

Frollo:
What?

Guard:
No longer in the cathedral. She's gone

Frollo:
But how? Never mind. Get out, you idiot
I'll find her. I'll find her if I have to burn down all of Paris

Hellfire
Dark fire
Now gypsy, it's your turn
Choose me or
Your pyre
Be mine or you will burn

Priests:
Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy)

Frollo:
God have mercy on her

Priests:
Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy)

Frollo:
God have mercy on me

Priests:
Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy)

Frollo:
But she will be mine
Or she will burn!

Every winter when I see the fireplace in my house lit, I start singing this song to my fireplace, just because it amuses me

[GlaceonOfHearts]

My friend gave me a valentine that had Frollo on it, and it read "Choose me or your pyre. Be mine or you will burn."

Best Valentine I've ever gotten.

[TheLilaclady39]

the best bit about this isn't in the clip. just after this Phebus asks him if hes ok and he replys 'i just had a little troble with the fireplace'

[SingingDancerGirl]

This has so much more meaning now that i'm older, back then i was oh he's a bad man he doesn't like the pretty lady lol

[LeighBerlie]

"As Seen On: atheism" I am choosing whether or not to laugh or get pissed off. Instead, I'll just applaud this person's cleverness.

I can so see Discord singing this.

[Illuminationplease]

One of the few disney villains with no "lighter" side. Scar, Jafar, Hades and Ursula were all badass but you could still laugh at them... But this guy is stone-cold, and everything he thinks and says is grim and dark... That always gave me the creeps.

@RevengeSeeker4321 And think about it, have you ever seen Frollo and Snape together in the same place at the same time?...

[TheTrueScource]

ah 240p, we meet again...

[dragongrrl3]

To me, I guess that Frollo has almost ALWAYS been the embodiment of religous hypocrisy.
