《Embassy Lament》歌词

[00:00:00] Embassy Lament - The Theatreland Chorus

[00:00:03] Oh my dear how boring

[00:00:04] He's defecting

[00:00:06] Just like all the others

[00:00:07] He's expecting

[00:00:09] Us to be impressed with what he's done here

[00:00:12] But he

[00:00:12] Hasn't stopped to think about the paperwork

[00:00:14] His gesture causes

[00:00:15] We've an embassy to run here

[00:00:17] If these people can't strike

[00:00:18] Blows for freedom

[00:00:19] With a valid visa

[00:00:21] We don't need 'em

[00:00:22] If we seem offhand then please remember

[00:00:25] This is nothing very special

[00:00:27] He's the fourth we've had since last November

[00:00:29] Who do these foreign chappies think they are

[00:00:31] And when he's safely in the West

[00:00:33] He'll be the hero to discuss

[00:00:35] The media will lionise him

[00:00:37] Fame and fortune plus

[00:00:38] No-one will recall it's

[00:00:39] Thanks to us

[00:00:46] Have you an appointment

[00:00:47] With the consul

[00:00:49] If you don't we know what his response'll be

[00:00:52] He will not see you with respect it

[00:00:54] Buggers up his very taxing schedule

[00:00:57] Pushing peace and understanding

[00:00:58] Let us hope this won't affect it

[00:01:00] Far too many jokers

[00:01:01] Cross the border

[00:01:04] Not a single document

[00:01:06] In order

[00:01:07] Russia must be empty

[00:01:08] Though we're all for

[00:01:10] Basic human rights it makes you wonder

[00:01:12] What they built the Berlin wall for

[00:01:14] Who do these foreign chappies think they are

[00:01:16] And when you've filled in all the forms

[00:01:18] And been passed clear of all disease

[00:01:19] Debriefed debugged dedrugged disarmed

[00:01:21] And disinfected please

[00:01:22] Don't forget the guys

[00:01:24] Who cut your keys
