The Old Regime |
| I heard them whispering |
| I saw their eyes, their jests |
| Their secret smiles |
| Dance a wild new tango |
| Overrun the great placenta |
| And who received the first bang-bang? |
| It was the whole goddamned gang |
| What can the price for freedom be? |
| The old regime is falling |
| The ball and chain is gone, you see |
| The winning team is calling |
| For volunteers, don’t hesitate |
| The old regime is falling |
| Who got the bottles? |
| Who got the ladies' fashions |
| And the tray? |
| Did you get the radio? |
| Did you get the princess' collar? |
| Well don’t you know I got the cheap |
| So what you got you’d better keep |
| But that brunette, she comes with me |
| The old regime is falling |
| The ball and chain is gone, you see |
| The winning team is calling |
| For volunteers, don’t hesitate |
| The old regime is falling |
| Gotta get a move on |
| What’s in your hand? |
| It’s just my things left in the sand |
| Now I’ll drive with four wheel drive |
| Air in the breadbox |
| Cheese in the mouths of babes |
| Is fine with me |
| Yes I’m on your side |
| Deal me in and do your preaching |
| But won’t you carve the turkey now? |
| I know I’ve earned my share somehow |
| By morning who knows where I’ll be? |
| The old regime is falling |
| The ball and chain is gone, you see |
| The winning team is calling |
| For volunteers, don’t hesitate |
| The old regime is falling |
