[Scene 3 "The Execution of Louis Capet"]
|
|
[RINGMASTER]
|
In the spring of ninety-two
|
The Austrians and the Prussians too
|
Crossed the line
|
The war had come
|
The people went to see the King
|
Reluctantly he let them in
|
|
[RINGMASTER & CHORUS]
|
And over tea they said that
|
He must choose one hat
|
|
[RINGMASTER]
|
A crown in Koblenz with his friends
|
Or if he chose to make amends
|
He might adopt
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
He might adopt
|
|
[RINGMASTER & CHORUS]
|
Their scarlet bonnet
|
|
[RINGMASTER]
|
Surprise, surprise, when left to choose
|
Too late he chose "The Bonnet Rouge"
|
