|
Eyes clear as dialtone |
|
Are you at home? Are you alone? |
|
I call on the phone |
|
Where have you gone, are you out on the street |
|
Dead on your feet, or harvesting wheat? |
|
My introvert, are you out chasing skirt? |
|
Singing fiddle me rum |
|
Fiddle me dumb |
|
Your lady in her antechamber |
|
Turtledove, my quivertail |
|
My purple head, my nightingale |
|
My corkscrewing fool |
|
Cuckold coxcomb, is it me who's insane |
|
Or is it you who's got sex on the brain? |
|
Always discreet, always obscene |
|
The Viscompte de Lisle is calling me still |
|
Your lady in her antechamber |
|
And time is passing |
|
And you don't call, and my crest falls |
|
So where are you now? |
|
Out with some cow at some Japanese inn |
|
Opening pork cooked in its skin |
|
Pouring red wine like blood down a string |
|
Singing fiddle me rum |
|
Fiddle me dumb |
|
Your lady in her antechamber |
|
Eyes clear as dialtone |
|
Here comes the queen, always discreet |
|
Always obscene |
|
Pushing her luck like the pig who got stuck |
|
Don't think she hasn't got men queuing up |
|
The Marquis of Rochdale's not there for good luck |
|
Singing fiddle me rum |
|
Fiddle me dumb |
|
Your lady in her antechamber |
