Bathtub Gin Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Brett is in the bathtub
Making soup for the ambassadors
And I am in the hallway
Singing to the troubadours
And the kings are all lined up
Outside the gate
And the autumn bell is ringing
But they'll just have to wait
[Bridge 1]
Where is the joker?
Have you seen him around
With his three coned cap
That he wears like a crown?
Have you seen his striped stockings
And heard his sad tales
About the kids under the carpet
And the purple humpbacked whale
[Verse 2]
Here come the ambassadors
They show up one by one
Brett is tasting all the soup
To see if it is done
And Wendy's on the windowsill
Waiting to be let in
And we're all in the bathtub now
Making bathtub gin
Brett is in the bathtub
Making soup for the ambassadors
And I am in the hallway
Singing to the troubadours
And the kings are all lined up
Outside the gate
And the autumn bell is ringing
But they'll just have to wait
[Bridge 1]
Where is the joker?
Have you seen him around
With his three coned cap
That he wears like a crown?
Have you seen his striped stockings
And heard his sad tales
About the kids under the carpet
And the purple humpbacked whale
[Verse 2]
Here come the ambassadors
They show up one by one
Brett is tasting all the soup
To see if it is done
And Wendy's on the windowsill
Waiting to be let in
And we're all in the bathtub now
Making bathtub gin
[Bridge 2]
And the kings storm the hallway
They've climbed up through the gate
They didn't mean to be impolite
But they just couldn't wait
Here comes the joker
With his silly grin
He carries a martini
Made of bathtub gin
[Verse 3]
Here comes the joker
We all must laugh
'Cause we're all in this together
And we love to take a bath
[Instrumental Outro]
And the kings storm the hallway
They've climbed up through the gate
They didn't mean to be impolite
But they just couldn't wait
Here comes the joker
With his silly grin
He carries a martini
Made of bathtub gin
[Verse 3]
Here comes the joker
We all must laugh
'Cause we're all in this together
And we love to take a bath
[Instrumental Outro]
