A Garden in Vienna, 1765 |
|
RINGMASTER
Within our humble sawdust ring
The players are arraigned
The powerful and puny
The saintly and deranged
The Honest Bird, a future queen
All innocent and green
Sparring all the livelong day
Make ready for our play
So gentles all, who will hold sway
To a garden in Vienna, let us make our way... |
|
MARIE THERESE
Madame Antoine, Madame Antoine
It's getting dark outside
It's time to come in |
|
MADAME ANTOINE
Oh Mother! |
|
MARIE THERESE
Madame Antoine, it's time to come in |
|
MADAME ANTOINE
Yes, yes mother, I'm coming
One day...
One day I'll be queen
Live on peaches and cream
Wear satin and lace
And laugh in the faces
Of the teachers and priests
And the boys will all fawn
Fawn before me like beasts |
|
MARIE THERESE
Madame Antoine, it's time to come in
|
|
HONEST BIRD
Little princess, so sure you are right
But your endless day is their endless night
You can preen in the limelight
In your diamonds in pearls
But the children go hungry
In that other world |
|
MARIE THERESE
Madame Antoine, it's time to come in |
|
MADAME ANTOINE
Little sparrow fly back to wherever you're from
You could never imagine the plane I live on
The intricate steps of the tumblers and clowns
Are above and beyond you cock robin
So just you pipe down |
