Faithfull, Marianne - Salomon Song Lyrics
You saw the wise man Salomon
You know what 'came of him
To him the world seemed clear as day
He cursed the sad hour that he saw the sign
He knew that everything was dust
How great and wise was Salomon
Watch out the world is spinning fast
The night will fall, the price we'll pay
Such wisdom's not all it's cracked up to be
So let us praise such clarity
You saw divine Cleopatra
You know what 'came of her
Two Emperors died to serve her lust
She whored herself to death, yes she did
How beautiful great Babylon
Watch out, the world is spinning fast
The night will fall, the price we'll pay
Such beauty's not all it's cracked up to be
So let us praise such luxury
Behold the man, the bold Macheath
The end's in sight, I fear
If he had kept his pretty head
And just robbed the rich, but oh no, instead
All's come to nought and turned to dust
How sad the heart when it has won
Watch out the world is spinning fast
The night will fall, the price we'll pay
Such whoring's not all it's cracked up to be
So let us praise sweet chastity
I'd like to introduce my friend, my musical director and accompanist, Mr. Paul Trueblood. Please, come on!
