She was a princess   Much lower than people thought   A master of nothing   A mistress of something she thought      She could talk about things that never mattered ever   From one person's miserable life after another   She could talk to the French and Germans at will   They'd never listen, they never will      The Chinese envoy was here   The Chinese envoy was here but left   The Chinese envoy was here but left   In his broken hearted pagoda      Calling out her name, you'd be surprised at what came   Galloping out of the darkness just like furniture   We'd have lost it all if it hadn't been for Cardinal Richelieu   And all his courtiers      The Chinese envoy was here   The Chinese envoy was here but left   The Chinese envoy was here but left   In his broken hearted pagoda
