Let's not argue I can only hope I'll understand in time It's an engagement, not a crime! (sung) Christine, what are you afraid of? Let's not argue, Please pretend, You will understand in time What a change! What a blessed release! And what a masquerade! Think of it! (spoken) A secret engagement! Look-your future bride! Just think of it. But why is it secret? What have we to hide? You promised me. No more ghost! Here's a health Here's a toast: To a prosperous year! To our friends who are here! And may our splendour never fade!
Three months! Of relief! Of delight! Of Elysian peace! And we can breathe at last! Drink it in, drink it up Till you've drowned In the light In the sound But who can name the face? Masquerade! Grinning yellows, spinning reds Masquerade! Take your fill-let the spectacle astound you! Masquerade! Burning glances, turning heads Masquerade! Stop and stare at the sea of smiles around you! Masquerade! Seething shadows, breathing lies Masquerade! You can fool any friend who ever knew you! Masquerade! Leering satyrs, peering eyes Masquerade! Run and hide-but a face will still pursue you! What a night! What a crowd! Makes you glad! Makes you proud! All the crème de la crème! Watching us Watching them! Take your turn Take a ride On the merry-go-round Eye of gold Thigh of blue True is false Who is who? Curl of lip Swirl of gown Ace of hearts Face of clownįaces.
Flash of mauve Splash of puce Fool and king Ghoul and goose Green and black Queen and priest Trace of rouge Face of beast Faces.
