Let Them Eat Rock, sung by Lord BendoverThey say there's people starving, dropping down dead in the streets The lazy slobs, they ain't got a job, they say they ain't got enough to eat Let Them Eat Rock They're picking through the garbage behind my favorite restaurant They're sickly pale, they're thin as a rail I don't know what in the hell they want Let Them Eat Rock I myself have felt a pang of hunger, but I know about one thing worse And that's the way I feel after a twelve course meal when I feel like I'm about to burst Let Them Eat Rock Little Lord Fauntleroy, sung by Lord BendoverHe wears his hair in curls He looks just like a girl He's in his own little world I said my, my he's a beautiful boy -- That Little Lord Fauntleroy, hey hey hey He wears pantaloons He likes a French perfume He wanna sleep 'til noon He's his mother's pride and his father's joy -- That Little Lord Fauntleroy, hey hey hey I caught him playing with his hard-on In the formal garden He said whoops beg your pardon These are the things that he enjoys -- That Little Lord Fauntleroy, hey hey hey The Little Lord Fauntleroy Rock 'n' Roll Butler, sung by Lord BendoverHey everybody, look what I found Simply the best manservant in town He's neat and discreet, he couldn't be any subtler This is the story of my Rock 'n' Roll Butler I don't care, I don't care what kind of clothes he wears 'Cause I know this - my Rock 'n' Roll Butler's always debonair Rock 'n' Roll Butler, Rock 'n' Roll Butler, Rock 'n' Roll See her there scrubbing away at the dirt Bending and stretching in her little tight skirt She says I'm much nicer than the Marquis De Sade This is the story of my little French maid I don't mind, I don't mind if she just speaks French 'Cause in my mind, whatever she says you know it just makes sense Rock 'n' Roll maid, Rock 'n' Roll maid, Rock 'n' Roll Hey everybody, have you seen The driver of my black limousine He wears a black cap and some black penny loafers This is the story of my Rock 'n' Roll Chauffeur I don't mind, I don't mind how far he roams 'Cause I know this - my Rock 'n' Roll Chauffeur's gonna get me home Rock 'n' Roll Chauffeur, Rock 'n' Roll Chauffeur, Rock 'n' Roll Minuet, sung by Lord RockinghamGonna dance a Minuet Gonna do a little pirouette You bet Gonna dance a Minuet With Marie Antoinette You bet Gonna be your sixty-second man Gonna try every trick I can I am Gonna dance a Minuet Gonna dance like Dave Fredette You bet Who's Who Of Love, sung by Lord BendoverShe caught my eye at the formal function Well she was pretty high-class that was my assumption Her gown was satin made to measure And she wore shoes of patent leather She's looking well-bred to me, I guess she's got her pedigree I'm puttin' you in my Who's Who of Love I tried to take a chance if we could meet But she stood there staring at her dainty feet I found that she was not alone She'd brought her aunt to chaperone She's looking well-bred to me, I guess she's got her pedigree I'm puttin' you in my Who's Who of Love I tried to find out 'bout her family tree If she had high-class genealogy She looked like she could be the one for me She looked descended from nobility She's looking well-bred to me, I guess she's got her pedigree I'm puttin' you in my Who's Who of Love I Got My Ascot 'n' My Dickie, sung by Lord BendoverI Got My Ascot 'n' My Dickie, the situation's tricky I got a new pair of spats but aside from that I don't wanna seem too picky Someone help me through this wicket, 'cause it's awfully sticky I Got My Ascot 'n' My Dickie Which one will it be, well I can't decide for the life of me Ascot's so refined, but a dickie gonna blow your mind If I could just make up my mind I'd be out there in a jiffy I Got My Ascot 'n' My Dickie I got my top hat and my cane, well I really can't complain I got my cummerbund and though it weighs a ton I got my pure gold watch and chain Old school tie's gettin' washed and dried 'cause it's so old it's icky I Got My Ascot 'n' My Dickie Old Money, sung by Lord BendoverDaddy wants me to marry this girl She's the richest old lady in the whole wide world Well she ain't too good-looking and she's kinda old But she don't have to be my rainbow she's my pot of gold She's Old Money, she comes from Old Money Well she's got a certain charm that's what he said Which you stand to inherit when she finally drops dead She's a little bit skinny and she's kinda shy But her bank account really caught my eye She's Old Money, she comes from Old Money I'm gonna buy her a ring just as fast as I can And ask that lady for her wrinkled old hand And if she says yes and that she'll be mine I hear the church bells ringin' up the dollar signs She's Old Money, she comes from Old Money Friend of a Friend of the Working Class, sung by Lords Rockingham (1st verse) and BendoverYou get up in the morning to join the common herd Your lot is a hard one, or so I have heard I know how hard it is to bust one's ass 'Cause I'm a Friend of a Friend of the Working Class I'm a Friend of a Friend yeah, I'm a Friend of a Friend of your class I heard about the working man what they say How the working man slaves his life away And though I never had to work an honest day myself 'Cause since the day I was born I been rollin' in wealth I heard how the work just never stops How the working man works 'til he's ready to drop And you know I can well imagine what it must be like Though my own hands are just soft and white But I know what it's like to have to bust your ass 'Cause I'm a Friend of a Friend of the Working Class Well the working man he can't never win Every job he gets done has to do it again And I can really believe that it must be tough No matter how hard he works it ain't never enough He got to run when the boss is callin' I find the whole thing simply appalling He can't barely fulfill his own basic needs Every little baby 'nother mouth to feed But I know what it's like to have to bust your ass 'Cause I'm a Friend of a Friend of the Working Class RSVP, sung by Lord RockinghamI couldn't possibly tonight I couldn't possibly that's right I've made these plans you see, to go to the symphony It's really most inconvenient RSVP no tonight, regrets only tonight I can't make love to you right now I can't make love to you and how Some other time perhaps, there are always other chaps Who will oblige you in a moment RSVP no tonight, regrets only tonight I can't make love to you today Some other time if I may I really do care but I'm fixing my hair First things first my little bumblebee RSVP no tonight, regrets only tonight Love to but I can't tonight Love to but I can't tonight Some other time perchance, we'll have that disco dance I can hardly wait my little angel pants RSVP no tonight, regrets only tonight Little Rickshaw Boy, sung by Lord BendoverI arrived in Hong Kong harbor seems like yesterday When something occurred I'll remember the rest of my days I was there to inspect our bank holdings As our Far East investment was in danger of folding And I got myself a Little Rickshaw Boy I said chop chop to the Little Rickshaw Boy But he could hardly move and I became annoyed As he trembled and looked about to fall I cursed my luck and as the rickshaw stalled I said move you nasty Little Rickshaw Boy The Little Rickshaw Boy looked gravely ill As he staggered on so slow I could have killed I suffered such grave inconvenience I could hardly be expected to be lenient said run you nasty Little Rickshaw Boy Just as we got to the bank the boy collapsed In a puddle of mud and filth he gasped his last And I stepped over him as expired Then I turned around and said you're fired You sickly lazy Little Rickshaw Boy You Little Rickshaw Boy Opera Glass, sung by Lord BendoverWhen I look through my opera glass I feel I'm looking in the past The fat lady sings just for me I feel that I can clearly see And I feel like a member of the cast When I look through my opera glass When I'm up in my private box I take off my shoes And take off my socks Then I gaze down upon the stage Through my opera glass I'm truly amazed And I know I'm upper class When I look through my opera glass I want to sing the baritone, it doesn't matter if I'm stone deaf Or if the language I don't know, in neither bass nor treble clef When I look through my Opera Glass I feel I'm looking in the past The fat lady sings just for me, I feel that I can clearly see And I feel like a member of the cast When I look through my opera glass Balderdash, sung by Lord BendoverThey said we couldn't rock, we were too rich But we can dig it just like any peasant in his ditch You say we're too high class, but that's Balderdash If you doubt us tune up our guitars And when you're done with that bring 'round the car You say we're too high class, but that's Balderdash We're a class act, hard to follow But you might think we're hard to swallow We know how to rock you tonight, all night and all through tomorrow They said we don't deserve to sing the blues When dividends have always paid our dues You say we're too high class, but that's Balderdash |
