Puck's Showstopper

PUCK

Goodbye dross - soon I'll be boss

This trojan horse

Is truly on course

So budge along, hear this new song

I’ll stop his show - King Oberon off you go!

It’s a case of the birds and bees

This King of Sleaze

Has a weakness for maidens like it’s a disease

Mustn’t surrender to your lust

Should be careful who you trust

‘Helpful chap’ is my disguise!

Now you see me - now you don’t

Be consistent - no I won’t!

Watch your back, I’m on the rise!

That’s the way the cookie crumbles

Shouldn’t bite off more than you can chew

Just a flick and how he tumbles

Trojan horses make a cunning coup

Fabricate a scenario

Show that you are in the know

Be the one who reaches out

Ever so helpful right-hand man

Genius with the master plan

Favourite sprite without a doubt!

Stand aside or you’ll be fried!

You’re so in luck with this badboy Puck

It’s not so strange a regime change

With politics - admit it’s all about tricks!

(Instrumental)

Did you think I was cute - a hoot?

Well now you know

For promotion this sprite is gonna stoop so low

Yes I am reprehensible

But I’m indispensable

Confidante extraordinaire

Now he thinks I’m commendable

Always so dependable -

Share your secrets if you dare!

Read this book - it’s full of wonders

Machiavelli had the right idea

Great achievements require danger

Says it’s better if we rule by fear

Take a few tips from Niccolo

Subtle is the way to go

It’s about how we appear

Punished for frolics in the bower

Hoodwinked by my toxic flower

Hedonist! It cost you dear!

Goodbye dross - soon I'll be boss

When Puck’s in town

The sprites will bow down

So budge along, hear this new song

I’ll stop his show - King Oberon off you -

Oberon off you -

Oberon off you go!
