The man who's escorting Don Juan to his bride

knows he is courting an impudent pride

Think of his jealousy, oh where will he hide?

The man who's escorting Don Juan to his bride



The man who will cover for Don Juan's old soothsayer

films for a Warner brother or Mister Goldwyn-Mayer

Think of his starlet, how much will he pay her?

The man who will cover for Don Juan's old soothsayer



An impasse has been reached

with the teacher of the rich

To quit would be discreet if swift

but you know that I can't do that



It would be a disaster

It would be a disaster

I've got this sinking feeling

I'm not dreaming

We'll be sorry soon



At the end of the day when everyone's resigned

to the heart of the matter and the measures in mind

King Zog's back from holiday, Marie Lupescu's grey

and King Alexander is dead in Marseilles



An impasse has been reached

with the teacher of the rich

To quit would be discreet if swift

but you know that I can't do that



It would be a disaster

It would be a disaster

I've got this sinking feeling

I'm not dreaming

We'll be sorry soon
