| What a dreadful town, what a vulgar place
|
| What an awful mistake to have come here
|
| To be on display in that shameless way
|
| For the crude common lower-class scum here
|
| How do they dare to treat us so?
|
| Father dear, come play with me
|
| Come and see this toy I’ve got
|
| What a snub at most from our so-called host
|
| Did he think sending freaks would be funny?
|
| Could the fool have thought that our pride was bought
|
| By his filthy American money?
|
| What a farce, what an outright slap in the face
|
| It’s an utter disgrace
|
| I’ve got a mind to pack and go
|
| Never you mind the debts we own
|
| Who would believe we’ve sunk this low?
|
| Father please, come play with me
|
| Please tell the boy the answer’s no
|
| Must you make that racket?
|
| It’s the aria I’m to sing
|
| It hurts my head
|
| Please, let’s not fight, dear
|
| I’m sure that no one intended a slight, dear
|
| Don’t you patronize me
|
| It’s your fault we came here
|
| We need the money, that’s all
|
| That’s why things haven’t been right, dear
|
| Why doesn’t it surprise me
|
| That I get the blame here?
|
| Let’s leave tonight, dear
|
| If that would serve to ease
|
| Your troubled mind
|
| Leave the hurt behind
|
| Father dear, come over here
|
| And look at what they gave to me
|
| Wind the top and father, see
|
| Look, it plays a melody
|
| I need some air
|
| Raoul, please
|
| Please what?
|
| Nothing, nothing, only
|
| Raoul, don’t drink anymore
|
| Father never plays with me
|
| Doesn’t he love me? |
