Waltz Into Mischief

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

A big hand hooray
Oh, come all ye trustful
Let the band play
A waltz into mischief

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 among

A big hand hooray
Oh, come all ye trustful
Let the band play
A waltz into mischief

This king of the cowboys
Holds fast his deception
Rides their misgivings
To rapturous reception

Calls on the crowd
Of white pointed heads
To check under carpets
While we're in our beds

A big hand hooray
Oh, come all ye trustful
Let the band play
A waltz into mischief

A big hand hooray
Oh, come all ye trustful
Let the band play
A waltz into mischief

A big hand hooray
Oh, come all ye trustful
Let the band play
A waltz into mischief
