Commie Newspapers (Live)

[FLORENCE]
Well, we can't complain that
You've been ignored by the press

[FREDDIE]
What’d they say? What’d they say?

[FLORENCE]
They're not too polite

[FREDDIE]
They say I'm a shit?

[FLORENCE, spoken]
Well, yes. They pulled you to pieces--

(sung)
In five different languages
The Times: "You thrive on unpleasantness."

(spoken)
Le Monde: “Frederick Trumper, la honte des écheques.”

[FREDDIE]
I don't believe that they can't see my game
I'm like that tennis player
What's-his-name?
They love to hate me
And for us that's dollars!

[FLORENCE, spoken]
Die Welt: "Trumper: Der wilde Junge des Schachs."

[FREDDIE]
Hey, look, here's a piece that
Some idiot's written on you

(spoken)
"Florence Vassy, petite Hungarian-born personal assistant …”

(sung)
“ … his gentle companion--"
If they only knew!

[FLORENCE, spoken]
What do you mean? I've always been gentle with you, Freddie

[BOTH]
“She stands by her champion …”

[FREDDIE, spoken]
Oh, I like this

[Both]
“… whose demands
Are so infantile.”

[FREDDIE, spoken]
I don't like this

[FLORENCE]
If you don't like it, then it's up to you
They like the Russian, they could like you too

[FREDDIE]
Commie newspapers
Of course the bastards all support the Russian

[FLORENCE]
But Sergievsky seems a sweet opponent
So why do you abuse him all the time?

(spoken)
Freddie, I love you very much, but just for once don't go on about the Russians at the press conference, okay?
