Night comes down just like a giant umbrella 
Slows me down, got to get it together 

Saxophone sage plays upon her doorstep 
Evening's lies are dying all around him 

Head of plumes and crimson ostrich feathers 
8th Hussars' manners gush out of my bloodstream, my queen 

Clad in drag of oriental beggar 
Ju-ju beads holding me all together
