| Back among the flashing lights of Paradise, his lair | |
| The Last Dictator sat in a chair | |
| And of all the world he was unaware | |
| Till his wife sidled up and said 'Sir' | |
| (As he liked to be known to his family and friends) | |
| 'You're very quiet' | |
| When he broke forth in a Southern drawl | |
| The gems he'd gleaned from out-house walls: | |
| 'Make no mistake - Hate | |
| Don't delay, don't wait to defend your realm and State - Hate' | |
| 'That's good, dear' said Eve with a prideful tear | |
| 'I'm glad to hear that it's no longer Fear' | |
| Well he reached out and grabbed her firmly about the rear | |
| And said 'Oh please, just one more beer | |
| I'll do it - but just one more beer' | |
| 'Do you think you'd better, dear?' | |
| She said in a voice so menacingly severe | |
| The whole neighbourhood eagerly cocked an ear | |
| Well Dick laughed, and with a placating whine | |
| Said 'Oh Evie, it'll be different this time | |
| Now eat your humility soup | |
| And get out my accoutrements and sacred wine | |
| We're going to the top this time' | |
| Much moved by his own words and several beers | |
| The Last Dictator wiped his tears | |
| As the Angels did appear | |
| And said 'we'd like very much to hear | |
| What exactly it is that you fear | |
| That we may have this devil hooved | |
| And we trust removed | |
| Trust us' | |
| 'I trusted someone once | |
| They said stand on this wall | |
| I was but three foot tall | |
| The wall was somewhat more | |
| They said jump and I'll catch you | |
| I jumped but I landed on a stone, with a groan | |
| My leg was broken and that word in my name | |
| Has never since been spoken | |
| From this habit should I now be woken? | |
| I trusted someone once | |
| I trusted someone once | |
| I trusted someone once' | |
| 'That you've been badly used is clear | |
| Dick, that's a terrible fear | |
| It certainly sounds like one rough night | |
| Many would have given up your noble fight | |
| Turned their backs and taken flight' | |
| 'Yeah, but just knowing that I was right | |
| Has helped me through plight after plight' | |
| 'Tell us please how can we make amends | |
| What can we give you, borrow or bend?' | |
| 'For myself I ask not a thing | |
| I neither want nor need the comforts of a king | |
| But the innocent need a strong wise hand | |
| To help them navigate nature's plan | |
| They need a teacher and one who's quick | |
| Someone generous, kind, and strict | |
| I'll need a big stick' | |
| 'Oh, we'll give you a very big stick | |
| Not like any that you've seen yet | |
| We've raised the money and laid the bet | |
| The cat's in the bag, the bag's in the river | |
| Here's an arrow for your quiver | |
| So trust us, trust us | |
| You can trust us | |
| You can trust us. |
