At the villa of the Baron de Signac
Where I spent a somewhat infamous year
At the villa of the Baron de Signac
I had ladies in attendance, fire-opal pendants
Liaisons
What happened to them?
Liaisons today
Disgraceful
What's become of them?
Some of them hardly pay their shoddy way
What once was a rare champagne
Now is just an amiable hock
What once was a villa at least is "digs"
What once was a gown with train
Is now just a simple little frock
What once was a sumptuous feast
Is figs
No
Not even figs
Raisins
Ah, liaisons
Now where was I, where was I?
Oh, yes
At the palace of the Duke of Ferrara
Who was prematurely deaf, but a dear
At the palace of the Duke of Ferrara
I acquired some position - plus a tiny Titian
Liaisons
What's happened to them?
Liaisons today
To see them
Indiscriminate women
It pains me more than I can say
The lack of taste that they display
Where is style?
Where is skill?
Where is forethought?
Where's discretion of the heart?
Where's passion in the art?
Where's craft?
With a smile and a will
But with more thought
I acquired a chateau, extravagantly overstaffed
Too many people muddle sex with mere desire
And when emotion intervenes
The nets descend
It should on no account perplex
Or worse, inspire
It's but a pleasurable means to a measurable end
Why does no one comprehend?
Let us hope this lunacy is just a trend
Where was I, where was I?
Oh yes
In the castle of the King of the Belgians
We would visit through a false chiffonier
In the castle of the King of the Belgians
Who, when things got rather touchy
Deeded me a duchy
Liaisons
What's happened to them?
Liaisons today
Untidy
Take my daughter, I taught her
I tried my best to point the way
I even named her Desiree
In a world
Where the kings are employers
Where the amateur prevails
And delicacy fails to pay
In a world where the princes are lawyers
What can anyone expect
Except to recollect? Liaisons
Where I spent a somewhat infamous year
At the villa of the Baron de Signac
I had ladies in attendance, fire-opal pendants
Liaisons
What happened to them?
Liaisons today
Disgraceful
What's become of them?
Some of them hardly pay their shoddy way
What once was a rare champagne
Now is just an amiable hock
What once was a villa at least is "digs"
What once was a gown with train

What once was a sumptuous feast

Now where was I, where was I?
