Back among the flashing lights of Paradise, his lair | |
The Last Dictator sat in a chair | |
And of all the world he was unaware | |
Till his wife sidled up and said 'Sir' | |
(As he liked to be known to his family and friends) | |
'You're very quiet' | |
When he broke forth in a Southern drawl | |
The gems he'd gleaned from out-house walls: | |
'Make no mistake - Hate | |
Don't delay, don't wait to defend your realm and State - Hate' | |
'That's good, dear' said Eve with a prideful tear | |
'I'm glad to hear that it's no longer Fear' | |
Well he reached out and grabbed her firmly about the rear | |
And said 'Oh please, just one more beer | |
I'll do it - but just one more beer' | |
'Do you think you'd better, dear?' | |
She said in a voice so menacingly severe | |
The whole neighbourhood eagerly cocked an ear | |
Well Dick laughed, and with a placating whine | |
Said 'Oh Evie, it'll be different this time | |
Now eat your humility soup | |
And get out my accoutrements and sacred wine | |
We're going to the top this time' | |
Much moved by his own words and several beers | |
The Last Dictator wiped his tears | |
As the Angels did appear | |
And said 'we'd like very much to hear | |
What exactly it is that you fear | |
That we may have this devil hooved | |
And we trust removed | |
Trust us' | |
'I trusted someone once | |
They said stand on this wall | |
I was but three foot tall | |
The wall was somewhat more | |
They said jump and I'll catch you | |
I jumped but I landed on a stone, with a groan | |
My leg was broken and that word in my name | |
Has never since been spoken | |
From this habit should I now be woken? | |
I trusted someone once | |
I trusted someone once | |
I trusted someone once' | |
'That you've been badly used is clear | |
Dick, that's a terrible fear | |
It certainly sounds like one rough night | |
Many would have given up your noble fight | |
Turned their backs and taken flight' | |
'Yeah, but just knowing that I was right | |
Has helped me through plight after plight' | |
'Tell us please how can we make amends | |
What can we give you, borrow or bend?' | |
'For myself I ask not a thing | |
I neither want nor need the comforts of a king | |
But the innocent need a strong wise hand | |
To help them navigate nature's plan | |
They need a teacher and one who's quick | |
Someone generous, kind, and strict | |
I'll need a big stick' | |
'Oh, we'll give you a very big stick | |
Not like any that you've seen yet | |
We've raised the money and laid the bet | |
The cat's in the bag, the bag's in the river | |
Here's an arrow for your quiver | |
So trust us, trust us | |
You can trust us | |
You can trust us. |
