1980 Broadway Barnum the Musical - The Prince of Humbug Lyrics
BARNUM: The Prince of Humbug. Balderdash. Fiddle, Faddle, Drivel, Posh Twiddle, Twaddle, Blather, Bosh. Bilge and dodge and double-dutch And Flim-Flam I am!
The King of Hogwash. Tommyrot. Jibber, Jabber, Blabber, Bluff 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 flat. Emperor of rigmarole. That I am, Bless my soul.
The Prince of Humbug. Poppycock. Piffle, waffle, panner junk Hokum, Hooey, 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 rot Toward Lord knows what end. Through a night as dark as space and cold as the sea. Someone's got to make it right. Shoot a rocket, Shine a light. Tell you 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!
