Procol Harum - Monsieur R. Monde lyrics

rate me

2a

The bell on my door rang this morning

3c

From the kitchen i called "who's that there?"

31

Through the letter box came a grappling hook

2d

Which grappled me right out of my chair!

2e

Stretched out on the floor i lay helpless

27

Of my limbs i had lost all command

25

When into my ear instilling fear

34

Said a voice "i am monsieur r. monde"

5

29

"monsieur r. monde you are not!

26

That's an incredible thing to say

2a

For i personally attended his funeral

34

Which was twelve months to this very day!"

25

A rat flew down from the ceiling

1f

Alighted upon my right ear

3a

Said "if monsieur r. monde is safe under the sod

2e

Then why are you shaking with fear!"

5

36

"my name is not scrooge" i said faintly

32

"and from ghosts i have nothing to fear!

33

But if you are r. monde returned from the dead

2a

Then what are you wanting here?"

26

From nowhere i heard a mad cackle

25

From nowhere a voice to me cried

36

"stop calling me monsieur r. monde you fool!

30

My name's jekyll and you're mr. hyde!"
