THE PRINCE OF HUMBUG

The Prince of humbug, balderdash

Fiddle faddle, dribble, tosh

Twiddle twaddle, blabber, bosh

Bildge, and dodge, and double-dutch

And flim-flam I am!

The King of hogwash, tommyrot

Jibber jabber, blabber bluf

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 blat

Emperor of rigmarole

That I am, bless my soul!

The Prince of humbug, poppycock

Piffle, waffle, patter, chunk

Hokum, hooby, 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 rock toward Lord knows what end

Through a night as dark as space and cold as the sea

Someone’s got to make it bright,

Shoot a rocket, shine a light,

Tell ya 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!)
