Oh, the story! Ah! Yes, uh
There'll be
Lovers
And singers
And entrepreneurs
Depravity
Ecstasy
And love that endures
Worthy of even the best rock on tour
A tale in the shadows of dear sacré-coeur
We! See!
Along the seine
Upon it's filthy shore
The bloated corpses of those
Kill the knight before
But it's a family show
With art both high and lows
A tale of love
And death
And sex
And money
Dancing and away we go
Sweet satine
Who plays our ingenue
A sparrow singing up and
Down each avenue
She wears a thin black dress
And tells a tale of woe
Of pain and loneliness
But that's not all, as these things go!
She's rather sick
With some obscure malaise
No doubt a crueler trick from
Wilder desperate days
But one day
Singing through her pain
The song kicks out the rain
And there he stands
A lover
Yes
One day, everything changes
When she meets a man
A man
Unlike any she has known
He's uh
A ventriloquist
No! He's a matador
Striding across the sands of destiny
No no no
He's a sailor
Yes! A sailor! That's it
A man who has spent his life voyaging across the turbulent seas
He's been searching for a mate
And now it seems like fate
A gift from God above
A love divine forevermore
Their bodies intertwined
But fate has many other things in store
There's a man who already claims her
An evil gangster who runs this town
She's unhappy and no one blames her
The most lascivious racketeer around
He buys her love
He buys her clothes
He's rough but this is all the poor girl knows
He buys her love
There's no escape
But now a triangle has taken shape
And so the sailor, driven mad
Determined to unseat this cad
Swears to risk his life for love
And there's our show
All of the above
A spectacle of savagery
A testament to lunacy
Fun for the whole family
And all of it designed by me
So exciting
The audience will stomp and cheer
So delighting
It will run for fifty years
So exciting
Make them laugh or make them cry
So delighting
And in the end should someone die?
So exciting
Make our dream reality
So delighting
Make it happen just for me
Make it happen just for me
