Sing, by the Almighty, or I may forget myself.

All hail, the political honeymoon—

Sing, I say, sing like a man!

All hail, the political honeymoon!

Now then, everybody. Everybody, because I'm watching you!

All hail, the political honeymoon
Sing the news to hoi polloi
Of each individual man his boon
In an age of strength through joy

Oh, every backward tribe and nation
Receive this transubstantiation

An alchemist sublime
Transforms our age and time
With a twist of the wrist

Transforms our age and time

With a twist of the wrist
An alchemist, an alchemist, an alchemist, an alchemist
Transforms our age, transforms our timе
With a twist of the wrist
This alchemist
Transforms our age, transforms our timе
Transforms our age and time!

All hail, the political honeymoon
Sing the news to hoi polloi
Of each individual man his boon
In an age of strength through joy!
