Ritz |
| Hark to Roualt’s white insanity |
| Clowns in drag concealing vanity |
| This is hardly Paradise |
| We’re still in search of petty scorn |
| Images so dead in mourning |
| Clap and cheer the man performing |
| This is hardly Paradise |
| We’re still in search of petty scorn |
| Couch my disease in chintz-covered kisses |
| Glazed calico cloth, my costume this is |
| Come to Pablo Fanque’s in indigo |
| We’ll show you pastel shades of rhyme |
| Take a letter, Ophelia, write |
| «Sorry Desdemona» bright |
| Peeking through the nimbus covers |
| We see the twisted tale of Man |
| Catch us in the cornfield hiding |
| Me, Maryse and Moonbeams gliding |
| Peeking through the nimbus covers |
| We see the twisted tale of Man |
| Careless, caress, curl up beside me |
| Visit, sleep and smile, and drown me |
| March together, slay like Nero |
| We’ll show you something you understand |
| (Originally this was «Now we have something you understand.») |
| Oh! |
| the clown, his stare is eyeless |
| Shall he make you laugh or cry, yes |
| March together, slay like Nero |
| We’ll show you something you understand |
| The other verses are from the Cockney Rebel original version. |
| I’ve left them in |
| for general interest. |
| Also Steve and Marty performed the whole thing live at |
| least once |
| It is time to hide my body |
| Shall we start to speak of Holly |
| I don’t wanna be that superhero |
| 'Til you have something we understand |
| Heard they’re moving Pisces into June |
| Shall we put together a platoon |
| I don’t wanna be that superhero |
| 'Til you have something we understand |
