Parisien Pierrot |
| Fantasy in olden days |
| In varying and different ways |
| Was very much in vogue |
| Columbine and Pantaloon |
| A wistful Pierrot 'neath the moon |
| And Harlequin a rogue |
| Nowadays Parisians of leisure |
| Wake the echo of an old refrain |
| Each some ragged effigy will treasure |
| For his pleasure |
| Till the shadows of their story live again |
| Parisian Pierrot |
| Society’s hero |
| The lord of the day |
| The Rue de la Paix |
| Is under your sway |
| The world may flatter |
| But what does that matter? |
| They’ll never shatter |
| Your gloom profound |
| Parisian Pierrot |
| Your spirit’s at zero |
| Divinely forlorn |
| With exquisite scorn |
| From sunset to dawn |
| The limbo is calling |
| Your star will be falling |
| As soon as the clock goes round |
| Mournfulness has always been |
| The keynote of a Pierrot scene |
| When passion plays a part |
| Pierrot in a tragic pose |
| Will kiss a faded silver rose |
| With sadness in his heart |
| Someday soon hell leave his tears behind him |
| Comedy comes laughing down the street |
| Columbine will fly to him |
| Admiring and desiring |
| Laying love and adoration at his feet |
| Parisian Pierrot |
| Society’s hero |
| The lord of the day |
| The Rue de la Paix |
| Is under your sway |
| The world may flatter |
| But what does that matter? |
| They’ll never shatter |
| Your gloom profound |
| Parisian Pierrot |
| Your spirit’s at zero |
| Divinely forlorn |
| With exquisite scorn |
| From sunset to dawn |
| The limbo is calling |
| Your star will be falling |
| As soon as the clock goes round |
