Master of the String Lyrics by Frank Wildhorn and Steve Cuden

Rudolf - the Last Kiss

0

In Vienna things get better every day
There are wonders to see
While we waltz the night away
Viennese perfection fills the details of our lives
Where the future reflects
And the past always survives
Let us talk of cabbages and kings
Not the shadow waiting in the wings…
See them dance to my tune
Hear them speak the words I say
When I bid them to bе happy
They are happy to obey
See thеm swagger and strut
As I give them back their nerve
Observe
The master of the strings!
There is discontentment out among the young upstarts
They're uneasy, restless
Or they are only bleeding hearts
Shouldn’t we be careful
It’s as if the walls have ears
Makes no difference – you see
It’s been this way for years
Let us see what fate tomorrow brings
Till we understand the grander scheme of these things
Let them plot, let them plan
Let them think they’re in control
When I bid them to be with me
They are with me heart and soul
Let them fret in the end
They will get what they deserve
To serve
The master of the strings!
If I lift a finger then a favour gets bestowed
Move it this way, let’s say
And another one is owed
Pull a little left until the radicals agree
Then a pull to the right
To control the bourgeoisie
Make another promise seem sincere
Pull another string and make it disappear
There’s a sense of balance you develop or you fall
What approaches protocol at an angle
One develops talents for discreet diplomacy
It’s a question of degree
Оr the strings will tangle
I survive by my wits and apologize to none
When they ask me to advise them
I advise them till I’d won
They may smile, they may frown
But it’s all the same to me – you see
I’m master of the strings!
Let us dance, let us sing, let us all be light-at-day
When he bids us to be happy
We are happy to obey
We will smile, wait in style
Till he bids us to proceed
We need
The master of the strings
He is good, he is kind, he is everybody’s friend
When he bids us all to follow
We will follow to the end
He just wants what is best
Our opinions are all his
He is
The master of the strings!
We serve
The master of the strings
Long live
The master of the strings!
