[Original Broadway Cast, The Mystery of Edwin Drood, Betty Buckley, Cleo Laine - Settling Up the Score lyrics]

Here to track this man in black am I
With one clue as to the who and why!
I find myself
In this aggravating form and face
Gravitating to this place
Navigating t'wards this case!

I've come to town, my ear at every door
Half the clown, yet crafty at the core
Settling down to settle up the score
A kettle full of fish I'll fry
I'll cook each goose (to mix a metaphor)
And unloose a mighty meteor -
I'm settling down to settle up the score
My mettle will be more than tested!
A debt'll be repaid before I've rested - oh!
Drood no word
What's brewed no grave no tomb
Who'll say who's done what and why to whom?
I'm on the scent
I'm inventing everything I am



Where's the sacrificial lamb?
'Ere in bloody Cloisterham
I've come to town to ask at every door:
Did Edwin Drood drown or
Was he washed ashore?
I'm settling down to settle up the score:
Red herring on a briny beach!
I'll solve this yet as Grand Inquisitor!
Make a bet you've met me once before!
Make a threat? I only wish you would!
I'm settling up the score for good!
