Roger Flushed With Wine

Đóng góp: [RINGMASTER]
Flushe d with wine Marie Antoinette
Casts down her red, white and blue rosette
An impetuous and dangerous vignette

[OFFICER ]
And then with her harming little shoe
She grinds the precious symbol underfoot
what a lark, what a hoot
The regiments all follow suit
The regiments

[CHORUS ]
The regiments

[OFFICE R]
The regiments

[CHORUS ]
The regiments

[OFFICE R & CHORUS]
The regiments all follow suit

[REVOLUTIONA RY PRIEST]
Red, white and blue and they all follow suit

[CHILDREN'S CHORUS]
Red, white and blue and they all follow suit

[REVOLUTIONA RY PRIEST]
In Paris there is nothing to eat

[CHORUS]
Not a crust, not a crumb
Not a grain of wheat

[REVOLUTION ARY PRIEST]
They think that starving may weaken the man in the street

[CHORUS]
Not a chance, they're used to the heat

[REVOLUTIONA RY PRIEST]
In Versailles they drink wine and dine on freshly baked bread

[CHORUS]
T he peacock sprawls upon his bed

[REVOLUTIONAR Y PRIEST]
We choke on the bones of swallowed pride instead

[CHORUS]

Soon they'll see what a feast they've made

[REVOLUTIONA RY PRIEST]
A bitter feast

[REVOLUTION ARY PRIEST & CHORUS]
For the Parisians

[CHORUS ]
...for the Parisians

[RINGMA STER]
These hags, these shrews, these courtesans
These animals we call women
Have marched hear through the pouring rain
TO bring the baker home again

[CHORUS]
L ouis protests; he cries

[KING]
Vet o, veto! I'll give you all bread if you just let me go!

[RINGMASTER]

These fishwives with their babies, these animals called ladies
Will carry back home to Paris
The King, The Queen, and The Dauphin

[REVOLUTI ONARY PRIEST]
Versailles has loomed to the regiments' final bow

[CHORUS]
Ver sailles bloomed

[REVOLUTI ONARY PRIEST]
All fawning before

[REVOLUTIO NARY PRIEST & CHILDREN'S CHORUS]
The Austrian cow!

[CHORUS]
Fa wning on bended knee

[REVOLUTIONA RY PRIEST]
The party's over

[REVOLUTIONA RY PRIEST & CHILDREN'S CHORUS]
Take down the marquee

[CHORUS]

Hang up your dancing shoes in the hanging tree

[REVOLUTIONA RY PRIEST]
We'll take the baker back to Paris

[REVOLUTION ARY PRIEST & CHILDREN'S CHORUS]
Back to Paris

[TROUBLEMAK ER & MALE CHORUS]
He'll make bread for the prince we decree

[REVOLUTIO NARY PRIEST, CHILDREN'S CHORUS, & FEMALE CHORUS]
The shrews, the hags and the courtesans

[TROUB LEMAKER & MALE CHORUS]
The animals we call women

[REVOLUTION ARY PRIEST, CHILDREN'S CHORUS, & FEMALE CHORUS]
Will take back the King to Paris

[REVOLUTION ARY PRIEST & CHILDREN'S CHORUS]
The crowd now seven thousand strong

[TROUBLEMA KER & MALE CHORUS]
Bore the royal coach along

[REVOLUTION ARY PRIEST & CHILDREN'S CHORUS]
With trophies raised on pikes above

[TROUBLEMAK ER & MALE CHORUS]
The guardsman’s heads they had cut off

[TROUBLEMAKER ]
Adieu Versailles

[MALE CHORUS]
It rains, it pours, the crowd roars

[REVOLUTION ARY PRIEST]
Bonjour Paris

[CHORUS]
A dieu Versailles

[COMPA NY]
Bonjour Paris, adieu Versailles
