The Conducator |
Silence suddenly is |
Shattered by the blaring of |
Trumpets and a booming voice |
As a herald proudly announces: |
These are happy times and |
We should all rejoice |
So make way for the king |
The queen and the prince |
The princess and nephews and nieces and others |
So make way for the king |
His uncle, his aunt |
His cousins and sisters and brothers |
Husbands and wives and their mothers |
I’m the conducator |
No-one's task is greater |
Huge is my responsibility |
I’m the guide, or rather |
Like a loving father |
Of a big and happy family |
Never mind if there is no |
Hot water for our showers |
A new era rises in |
Spirals of red flowers |
What a great, heroic quest! |
I think by now they know |
I always know what’s best |
Lack of moderation |
Over-consummation |
Used to lead to gout and heart disease |
Truly I was sad to |
But I really had to |
Circumscribe their daily calories |
Everywhere I go people |
Show me their devotion |
I confess I’m almost |
Choking with emotion |
When, in their spontaneous ways |
They all bend over backwards |
Just to sing my praise |
He’s a light, he’s a beacon in a |
Wild and treacherous ocean |
And we’re all proud to see him |
Choking with emotion |
When in our spontaneous ways |
We all bend over backwards |
Just to sing his praise |
Customs are abolished |
Villages demolished |
It’s all part of my inspired plan |
If some thick, old peasant |
Doesn’t find that pleasant |
All I say is: That’s too bad, old man! |
We all know our conducator |
Is a man of vision |
In the course of progress what’s a |
Little demolision |
That’s the spirit I admire! |
The sort of true enthusiasm I inspire |
All our fields our rivers and |
Mountains kneel before him |
Children and blind widows even |
Animals adore him |
These are truly happy times |
No unemployment |
No inflation |
And no crime |
Happy times! |
