Dialtone |
Eyes clear as dialtone |
Are you at home? |
Are you alone? |
I call on the phone |
Where have you gone, are you out on the street |
Dead on your feet, or harvesting wheat? |
My introvert, are you out chasing skirt? |
Singing fiddle me rum |
Fiddle me dumb |
Your lady in her antechamber |
Turtledove, my quivertail |
My purple head, my nightingale |
My corkscrewing fool |
Cuckold coxcomb, is it me who’s insane |
Or is it you who’s got sex on the brain? |
Always discreet, always obscene |
The Viscompte de Lisle is calling me still |
Your lady in her antechamber |
And time is passing |
And you don’t call, and my crest falls |
So where are you now? |
Out with some cow at some Japanese inn |
Opening pork cooked in its skin |
Pouring red wine like blood down a string |
Singing fiddle me rum |
Fiddle me dumb |
Your lady in her antechamber |
Eyes clear as dialtone |
Here comes the queen, always discreet |
Always obscene |
Pushing her luck like the pig who got stuck |
Don’t think she hasn’t got men queuing up |
The Marquis of Rochdale’s not there for good luck |
Singing fiddle me rum |
Fiddle me dumb |
Your lady in her antechamber |
