This will be the opening number in the show. The story of the hunchback starts in the market square where festivities are taking place. An actor is trying his best to interest the crowd in a mystery play that he is putting on. Someone in the crowd finds a door with a head sized hole in it and people take it in turns to stick their heads through whilst pulling faces. Quasimodo puts his head in and without trying, is voted as being the ugliest, and is elected as the Pope of fools for the day.
The Ugliest Man in Town
Look at him smile
Look at his dial
He’s the ugliest man in town
Look at him grin
Look at his chin
He’s the ugliest man in town
Look at his face
It’s a disgrace
Every feature on his dial is out of place
Look at his tongue
It’s much too long
He’s the ugliest man in town
Look at his ears
He has no peers
He’s the ugliest man in town
Look at him wink
Look at him blink
It’s like a pile of dirty pots left in the sink
If he should cough
Things may drop off
To this champion
Your cap you have to doff
His breath is rank
Like a septic tank
He’s the ugliest man in town
So if you please
Down on your knees
For the ugliest man in town
Look at his chin
Look at his skin
There’s a space where his features should have bin (Been)
His jaw’s oblique
The thing’s unique
It’s not a lie to say his profile’s
Less than Greek
I heard you jeer
You’ve made it clear
He’s the ugliest man in town
Look at him pout
Look at his snout
He’s the king of the uglies
There’s no doubt
To say the least
The man’s a beast
He’s the ugliest man in town
Look at that jowl
Look at him scowl
His features were constructed with a trowel
It’s like a cake
That just won’t bake
And looks like it’s been hacked at with a rake
Please don’t be cruel
To this Pope of fools
Though you have to admit
The man’s a ghoul
And to be specific
The guy’s horrific
He’s the ugliest man in town
He’s a freak of nature
Which is plain to see
He’s set a new standard
For atrocity
He’s on a mission
For more derision
He’s the ugliest man in town
DANCE:
The bloke’s still grinning
Lock up your women
Your daughters, aunties, grandmothers, and pets
And though he may be the winner
Don’t invite him round for dinner
He’s the ugliest man in town
Although he may be the winner
Don’t invite him round for dinner
He’s the ugliest man in town
PLAY OFF:
A Badly Chewed Pencil 
I can’t get to grips with the way WordPress displays stuff that you write. This was laid out as verses but it has displayed itself as a continuous flow of lines with huge gaps. Grrrr…

to stop wordpress ruining my verse
I press Ctrl Enter at my line’s end
Instead of using just Enter
which creates new paragraphs to mend
I have no idea if that’ll work for the comment until I press Post Comment though. It looks OK until I do…. here goes…
PS: Enjoyed your poem too.

What I’m doing is cutting and pasting the lyrics in. I think that that is where the problem lies.

Yes, I think existing line breaks in Word or whatever (which you’ve done by pressing just enter ) will be brought in as new paragraph markers in WordPress Gutenburg… even though you can’t see them, it sees themas new paragraphs.
So you have to edit them out individually, by deleting the gap and bringing all the words onto one line, and then applying a CTRL Enter to where you want the break again.
I think Colin had the same problem and it’s just getting into the new habit of pressing CTRL + Enter in your Word drafting instead of just Enter. It copies over as expected if you get into doing that.
Hope that helps.
