[CHILDREN'S CHORUS]
|
To take your hat off
|
Is the gesture of a toff
|
But even his lordship needs a head
|
To take his hat off of
|
So Dampierre lost his life
|
By being somewhat too polite
|
In face of all the pain and fear that festered
|
For more than a thousand years
|
|
[SERGEANT (off stage)]
|
By the left, Quick March!
|
|
[CHILDREN'S CHORUS]
|
Dampierre has lost his head
|
The King has lost his grown
|
The carriage rolls through the streets
|
The crowd jeers, the wheels squeak
|
Hey, hey, what goes around
|
Always comes around
|
|
[MALE CHORUS]
|
IN Germany and England
|
They celebrate our liberty
|
Over there by and by
|
They'll have their 14th of July
|
In Germany and England they fete our
|
|
[MALE CHORUS & CHILDREN]
|
Liberty
|
|
[OFFICER]
|
The National Assembly try to whitewash the King
|
|
[MALE CHORUS]
|
His brothers in law
|
Are camped on every border
|
They fear to depose him
|
Would men war
|
|
[MARIE MARIANNE, RINGMASTER, OFFICER & CHORUS]
|
But feelings run deep
|
And the man in the street
|
Hungry, weak but unbowed
|
Scents the taste so sweet of peacock meat
|
As it wafts over the crowd
|
So they march to the Camps du Mars
|
To demand Republic now
|
|
[CHILDREN'S CHORUS]
|
Republic here, now, today
|
The National Assembly
|
Has got it wrong
|
|
[SERGEANT]
|
Present...
|
|
[CHILDREN'S CHORUS]
|
We sing in the Camps du Mars
|
|
[SERGEANT]
|
Take Aim...
|
|
[CHILDREN'S CHORUS]
|
We sing of what we want
|
|
[SERGEANT]
|
FIRE!
|
|
[CHILDREN'S CHORUS]
