Jim Dale - The Prince of Humbug Lyrics

Lyrics The Prince of Humbug - Jim Dale



The Prince of Humbug
Balderdash
Fiddle, faddle, drivel, posh
Twiddle, twaddle, blather, bosh
Bilge and dodge and double-dutch
And flim-flam I am!
The King of Hogwash
Tommyrot
Jibber, jabber, blabber, bluff
Hocus-pocus, gabble, guff
Scam and sham and just a touch
Of white lie am I
Duke of tripe and idle chat
Earl of oil, Lord of flat
Emperor of rigmarole
That I am, bless my soul
The Prince of Humbug
Poppycock
Piffle, waffle, panner junk
Hokum, hooey, chatter, bunk
Wile and guile and trumpery
That's me
In a world of sting and shock
This moment we spend
Down a road of ridge and rot
Toward Lord knows what end
Through a night as dark as space and cold as the sea
Someone's got to make it right
Shoot a rocket, shine a light
Tell you who the someone's gonna be!
The Prince of Humbug
Tongue-in-cheek
Shilly, shally, pull the wool
Blarney, bogus, cock and bull
Hoax and prank and hanky-pank
And some skullduggery
I am! And damn, I'll always be!
Yeah!
