Victoria I know they say of Marie Antoinette My reputation is a go-getter So when I met Louis Sixteenth of Bourbon t'was so disturbin', I thought a Bourbon Once in ev'ry while would keep me smiling. Louis Seize he's king of France Not by chance that I wed him They all do as Louis says. My, oh, yez... I just bed him. Then I recline on my chaise. Who cares what they do? Who cares what Louis says? Louis says I misbehave, Rant an' rave craving trouble. If he only knew the truth, In my youth it was double. My life's a big bowl of fraises. Poor Louis screwy; Who cares what Louis says? Suddenly the revolution came, And my social life is not the same. So I play a very diff'rent game, Living one day at a time. Since each day may be my last, I'll make each moment quite sublime. Louis says they'll label me Mad Marie Antoinette, Famous for my roving eye. He says I should know better. Good times relieve mamalaise; The rest is phooey. Who cares what Louis says? Chorus Louis says she mustn't roam Stay at home Victoria All adoring. Chorus He says she should be more prim, More like him. Victoria Oh, God, how boring! I like my sauce bordelaise; He drives me cooey. Who cares what Louis says? Louis said the revolution's spread. Louis said I mustn't lose my head. And the people haven't any bread; I say let 'em all eat cake. Louis says that kind of attitude Could be a grave mistake. Louis says our time is short; This resort's their museum. I say they can go to hell! Wish 'em well When you see 'em They're singing "La Marseillaise" At half past seven, I'm off two heaven. So much for royalty! So much for loyalty! So much for Louis Seize!
