[Verse 1]
The latest and greatest amazing arrival
No conscience no shame for the game of survival
Thieves and villains and fraudulent swindlers
Gathered in tribute with masks of respect
[Chorus]
A big hand hooray
Oh come all ye trustful
Let the band play
A waltz into mischief
[Verse 2]
The chairman is speaking instructs the apprentice
All faces are turned to the wizard of sentence
Years of experience fall from his tongue
Like teardrops to puddles they ripple along
[Chorus]
A big hand hooray
Oh come all ye trustful
Let the band play
A waltz into mischief
[Verse 3]
This king of the cowboys holds fast his deception
Rides their misgivings to rapturous reception
Calls on the crowds of white pointed heads
To check under carpets while we’re in our beds
[Chorus]
A big hand hooray
Oh come all ye trustful
Let the band play
A waltz into mischief
[Chorus]
A big hand hooray
Oh come all ye trustful
Let the band play
A waltz into mischief
[Outro]
A big hand hooray
Oh come all ye trustful
Let the band play
A waltz into mischief
