Lyrics

The latest and greatest
Amazing arrival
No conscience no shame
For the game of survival
Theives and villians
And fraudulent swindlers
Gathered in tribute
With masks of respect

A big hand hooray
Oh come all ye trustful
Let the band play
A waltz into mischief

The chairman is speaking
Instructs the apprentice
All faces are turned
To the wizard of sentence
Years of experience
Fall from his tongue
Like teardops to puddles
They ripple among

A big hand hooray
Oh come all ye trustful
Let the band play
A waltz into mischief

This king of the cowboys
Holds fast his deception
Rides their misgivings
To rapturous reception
Calls on the crowd
Of white pointed heads
To check under carpets
(While we're in our beds?)

A big hand hooray
Oh come all ye trustful
Let the band play
A waltz into mischief

A big hand hooray
Oh come all ye trustful
Let the band play
A waltz into mischief

A big hand hooray
Oh come all ye trustful
Let the band play
A waltz into mischief
