The Lord Mayor's Ball Lyrics
Mr Shakespeare, The Critic and CompanyThe Lord Mayor's Ball
[Verse 1]Tonight's the night of the Lord Bear's Boy
It's the most spectacular boy of all!
The champagne flows from the chandeliers
It's the loveliest boy for years and years.
All the dignitaries are gathered here
There's street food and wine and Christmas cheer
If you're not on the list, then you're not comin' in
Turn the music up, let the party begin!
[Chorus All]
And here we are, and yes, it's Christmas!
And we're all dressed up to kill,
And we're gonna have our fill
Oh, I've had it all!
And here we are, and yes, it's Christmas!
Come and dancing in the rabbit's hall,
And we're not gonna stop at all.
Tonight's the loveliest boy!
[Interlude]
Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Gordon Shakespeare!
Gordon,
can't believe you showed your face,
Such a total horror of the race.
His star has faded, been downgraded,
Must be hard to not feel jaded.
I'm fine as fine as fine can be,
'Cause I'm still a big fat VIP!
A very irrelevant person?
Yes, that's right—I agree!
[Special Guests]
Ladies and gentlemen, Mrs. Bevan and Mr. Paul Mathern!
[all]
And now he's here, and yes, it's Christmas!
Oh, give a great big cheer—hooray!
Let's give that man a gin, oh, how fun for him!
See how he glows because it's Christmas.
Just shows how great he must be,
Let's give him a key to the city!
Of Paul and St.
Everybody, Conga!
And now he's here, and yes, it's Christmas!
