Lyrics

Fiasco!
How I have waited and waited for you
Fiasco!
Thank God, at last a disaster came true
What Waterloo did
And what Spain to Peru did
Should be included
Plus American wine
A real fiasco!
The crowd was vicious, pernicious, divine
And now she's battered
And splattered and shattered
And mine, all mine
I dream of Chanel
In a Hilton Hotel, a new one
Or stuck on a boat
With no guests on the Côte d'Azur
Or losing her voice
What an urge to rejoice runs through one
But the wolf at her door
Somehow has even more allure
What a fiasco!
The tweeds were hated and rated the worst
Fiasco!
Put on the lamé, it damn may well burst
To all Paree she's
From a primeval species
To Givenchy she's
At the end of the line
It's a unanimous, unqualified, unmatchable, incomparable
Incredible, fantastic and fabulous
Fiasco!
Oh, what a thrilling, fulfilling decline
And while she's slipping and slipping
I'm skipping and skipping
For now this faded
Degraded and jaded
Old maid is mine!
