Henchmen are Forgotten

Harlequin
You'd think we'd get applause at least
A thank you note a gift

Dimas
A we'd be lost without you speech
A raise, you get my drift

Harlequin
But let me set you straight, old pal
The way the world is run
Henchmen are forgotten
Once the dirty work is done
Henchmen are forgotten

Dimas
Henchmen are forgotten

Both
Henchmen are forgotten and it's not a lot of fun

Harlequin
Me, I say it's rotten

Dimas
Like day old peas-au-gratin

Both
But henchmen arе forgotten once the dirty work is donе

Dimas
The man who is devoted to the family he serves
Who puts them first his whole life through
Gets just what he deserves

Harlequin
But let me say 'twas ever thus
And ever will be, son

Both
Henchmen are forgotten
Henchmen are forgotten
Henchmen are forgotten
Henchmen are forgotten I mean each and everyone

Harlequin
Yes, I know you're shattered
But no, you never mattered

Dimas
True, you gave your all for
But now there is no call for

Harlequin
No one ever better
I'll write a glowing letter

Dimas
Sure, you stood behind me
Uhh... What's your name, remind me

Both
Like we said, It's rotten
The way they keep us trottin'
Then Whammo!
Out of nowhere
Like your av'rage hit and run

Harlequin
Henchmen are forgotten

Dimas
Henchmen are forgotten

Both
Henchmen are forgotten once the dirty work is done

Harlequin, Dimas and Corine
Henchmen are forgotten
Henchmen are forgotten
I mean ever since day one

Corine
Who stood in for Midas when Midas got arthritis?

Dimas
Who convinced Medusa her perm looked better looser?

Corine
Who told Mona Lisa "Hey Mona justa say cheesa?"

Harlequin
Who sent love and kisses from Narcissus to Narcissus?

All
Like we said it's rotten
The halls of fame we're not in
The gratitude not given
As for credit, nada, none

Harlequin and Dimas
Henchmen are forgotten

Corine
Henchmen are forgotten

All
Henchmen are forgotten when the dirty work is done
