[00:32.091]Three encores of Oh Sonny Boy backed only by accordion
[00:35.507]Three rows of pale brunettes protect him from the crowd
[00:39.122]The curtain a patchwork of imitation vermillion
[00:42.790]A red bulb hangs low above the throne that has been found
[00:46.277]
[01:00.528]This is the scene on Main Street when John L comes to town
[01:04.034]
[01:15.123]Crowds of every age, creed and gender are abound
[01:18.080]Signor kitsch sings skits detailing each attendees sins
[01:22.008]First time anteaters lose themselves in the wings
[01:25.370]With vigour they scratch red spots, overwhelmed by their king
[01:28.898]
[01:42.588]In all the world there’s no escape from this infernal din
[01:46.903]
[01:49.495]“Children of Bethlehem, come all boys and girls,
[01:53.404]Come Listen to these, my eternal words
[01:56.713]Judge not who you see by whatever they may say
[01:59.946]But by their round eyes, lips, ears and curves
[02:03.545]A man is his country, your country is you
[02:06.605]All bad is forewarned, all good will come true”
[02:10.120]
[02:10.270]These words are heard on Main Street when John L comes to town
[02:16.943]
[02:31.224]This garbling non-song whips throng into frenzy
[02:34.409]The last echoes of his crooning now cease to be heard
[02:37.517]No-longer-pale brunettes are broken in two
[02:40.523]And thrown to the snouts of the anteater crew
[02:43.595]
[02:43.755]John L is in tatters
[02:45.341]His soapbox usurped
[02:47.045]His torn robes adorn the
[02:48.229]Tree stumps of the earth
[02:49.762]No hack with an army
[02:51.477]Will last long before he
[02:52.939]Breeds men who yearn
[02:54.317]For their own bloody glory
[02:56.071]
[04:50.947]That was the scene on Main Street when John L came to town
