At the villa of the Baron De Signac
Where I spent a somewhat infamous year
At the villa of the Baron De Signac
I had ladies in attendance
Fire-opal pendants
Liaisons! What’s happened to them
Liaisons today?
Disgraceful! What’s become of them?
Some of them
Hardly pay their shoddy way
What once was a rare Champagne
Is now just an amiable hock
What once was a villa, at least
Is «digs»
What once was a gown with train
Is now just a simple little frock
What once was a sumptuous feast
Is figs
(spoken)
No, not even figs
Raisins
(sung)
Ah, liaisons!
(spoken)
Where was I? Yes
