Scandal |
Hector Mann plays a businessman |
Who checks in an old hotel |
When he picks up the phone to call his girl at home |
He gets the opera singer down the hall |
It’s not a scandal |
Just a misunderstanding |
You’re not who I thought you were at all |
Hector Mann goes to check his appearance |
He thinks there’s something funny with the mirror |
But really it’s a jewel thief wearing the same suit |
And staring back from outside a window |
And two doors down |
He can hear the opera singer cry out |
Someone call the manager |
There’s been a break-in, my necklace has been stolen |
I need it for tonight’s performance |
He was a man in a white suit and moustache |
You catch him in the act then he’s a dead man |
Now it’s a scandal |
Just a misunderstanding |
I’m afraid that you’ve got it all wrong |
And pretty soon it’s hard to say |
Just what is what, who is who |
Everybody running round |
From room to room, up and down |
Is this just a case |
Of the right time in the wrong place |
I’m a man with good intentions |
How did you get the wrong impression? |
Usually he’s keen to keep his suit clean |
Now he’s in a hurry to get it dirty |
From the kitchen to the chimney |
The fireplace to the furnace |
Until he’s no longer who he once was |
It’s not a scandal |
Just a misunderstanding |
This kind of thing just happens to me |
Word spreads from the deskclerk |
To the bellhop to the valet |
To the policeman down the alleyway |
Hector Mann is standing |
In a black suit in the open |
He’s pointing, saying I think that he went thataway |
Hector Mann plays a businessman |
Who checks out of an old hotel |
He’s done with the double takes, pratfalls and acrobatics |
You can tell he’s done with them for good |
It’s not a scandal |
Just a misunderstanding |
It’s not a scandal |
Just a misunderstanding |
And in the last frame |
It closes on twist of his moustache |
And you know he’s had enough |
