Текст песни Scandal - Duke Special

Hector Mann plays a businessman
Who checks in an old hotel
When he picks up the phone to call his girl at home
He gets the opera singer down the hall
It′s not a scandal
Just a misunderstanding
You're not who I thought you were at all
Hector Mann goes to check his appearance
He thinks there′s something funny with the mirror
But really it's a jewel thief wearing the same suit
And staring back from outside a window
And two doors down
He can hear the opera singer cry out
Someone call the manager
There's been a break-in, my necklace has been stolen
I need it for tonight′s performance
He was a man in a white suit and moustache
You catch him in the act then he′s a dead man
Now it's a scandal
Just a misunderstanding
I′m afraid that you've got it all wrong
And pretty soon it′s hard to say
Just what is what, who is who
Everybody running round
From room to room, up and down
Is this just a case
Of the right time in the wrong place
I'm a man with good intentions
How did you get the wrong impression?
Usually he′s keen to keep his suit clean
Now he's in a hurry to get it dirty
From the kitchen to the chimney
The fireplace to the furnace
Until he's no longer who he once was
It′s not a scandal
Just a misunderstanding
This kind of thing just happens to me
Word spreads from the deskclerk
To the bellhop to the valet
To the policeman down the alleyway
Hector Mann is standing
In a black suit in the open
He′s pointing, saying I think that he went thataway
Hector Mann plays a businessman
Who checks out of an old hotel
He's done with the double takes, pratfalls and acrobatics
You can tell he′s done with them for good
It's not a scandal
Just a misunderstanding
It′s not a scandal
Just a misunderstanding
And in the last frame
It closes on twist of his moustache
And you know he's had enough
