Fiasco

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!
