Brighten the corners and clear out the room Color the flowers in rose and maroon Light up the fires and season the swine We're gonna party like its 1699 Slaughter the rabbits, the doves and the boars And lay all the tables and open the doors The creme de la creme will be waiting on one guest of honour Up go the curtains and down go the virgins Oh no mothers are cryin' Ladies of virtue will stand to accuse you of heartbreak and theft Bells are gonna ring birds are gonna sing let the people begin The crowning of your big head Young drunken girls in a hideous dance Sing a heartfelt lament of the death of romance Beautiful boys turn and offer their cheeks Preening and prancing the outcome looks bleak Good times are rolling but outside these walls Our houses will crumble, the city will fall But a few broken pawns dont mean nothing to our guest of honour So lets raise our glasses to murderous asses like you May you sleep soundly Once we have laughter, you got what you're after Oh you wear it well! Bells are gonna ring, birds are gonna sing Let the people begin Hear how their hearts are pounding Were all witnessing the crowning Of your big bleeding head Bells are gonna ring, birds are gonna sing Let the people begin Hear how their hearts are pounding Your rise nothing but astounding Were all witnessing the crowning of your useless, rooftless head
