Chinese Envoy

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
