Beware (Reprise) / Drinking Song (In the Grande Style) |
| Step right on up, take a good good look |
| at the latest pie that fate could cook |
| this is no phenom, so supermarket guru |
| just a revelation from me to you |
| So don’t believe a thing that you might hear |
| at least from the last 30 — 40 years |
| cause it wasn’t long ago just before the reign of Nero |
| we had no concept of zero |
| So beware, children beware, the devil may care |
| six little soldiers with stripes on their shoulders |
| never with a thought to dare |
| So take aim, children take aim |
| the drill sargeant sang |
| with ample perspiration ordered |
| stop your respiration |
| and end the flow of oxygen to the brain |
| So wake up sleepyheads, listen what I have to say |
| as you near your independence day |
| just keep in mind, in time your find so few |
| so few have your best interrests in mind |
| so don’t believe a thing you might hear |
| at least from the last 3 — 4,000 years |
| 'cause is wasn’t long ago just before the reign of Nero |
| we had no concept of zero |
| so beware, children beware |
| the devil may care… |
| and maybe he’s the only one |
