Lyrics
You saw the wise man salomon,
You know what came of him.
To him the world seemed clear as day,
He cursed the sad hour that he saw the sign,
He knew that everything was dust.
How great and wise was salomon!
Watch out the world is spinning fast
The night will fall, the price well pay
Such wisdoms not all its cracked up to be,
So let us praise such clarity.
You saw divine cleopatra,
You know what came of her.
Two emperors died to serve her lust,
She w****d herself to death, yes she did,
And withered into lovely dust.
How beautiful great babylon.
Watch out, the world is spinning fast
The night will fall, the price well pay,
Such beautys not all its cracked up to be,
So let us praise such luxury.
Behold the man, the bold macheath,
The ends in sight, I fear.
If he had kept his pretty head
And just robbed the rich, but oh no, instead
Alls come to nought and turned to dust.
How sad the heart when it has won.
Watch out the world is spinning fast,
The night will fall, the price well pay.
Such whorings not all its cracked up to be,
So let us praise sweet chastity.
Id like to introduce my friend, my musical director and accompanist, mr. paul trueblood. please, come on!
