The Conducator Lyrics
Silence suddenly is<br />
Shattered by the blaring of<br />
Trumpets and a booming voice<br />
As a herald proudly announces:<br />
These are happy times and<br />
We should all rejoice<br />
<br />
So make way for the king<br />
The queen and the prince<br />
The princess and nephews and nieces and others<br />
So make way for the king <br />
His uncle, his aunt<br />
His cousins and sisters and brothers<br />
Husbands and wives and their mothers<br />
<br />
I'm the conducator<br />
No-one's task is greater<br />
Huge is my responsibility<br />
I'm the guide, or rather<br />
Like a loving father<br />
Of a big and happy family<br />
<br />
Never mind if there is no<br />
Hot water for our showers<br />
A new era rises in<br />
Spirals of red flowers<br />
What a great, heroic quest!<br />
<br />
I think by now they know<br />
I always know what's best<br />
<br />
Lack of moderation<br />
Over-consummation<br />
Used to lead to gout and heart disease<br />
Truly I was sad to<br />
But I really had to<br />
Circumscribe their daily calories<br />
Everywhere I go people<br />
Show me their devotion<br />
I confess I'm almost<br />
Choking with emotion<br />
When, in their spontaneous ways<br />
They all bend over backwards<br />
Just to sing my praise<br />
<br />
He's a light, he's a beacon in a<br />
Wild and treacherous ocean<br />
And we're all proud to see him<br />

Choking with emotion<br />
When in our spontaneous ways<br />
We all bend over backwards<br />
Just to sing his praise<br />
<br />
Customs are abolished<br />
Villages demolished<br />
It's all part of my inspired plan<br />
If some thick, old peasant<br />
Doesn't find that pleasant<br />
All I say is: That's too bad, old man!<br />
<br />
We all know our conducator<br />
Is a man of vision<br />
In the course of progress what's a<br />
Little demolision<br />
<br />
That's the spirit I admire!<br />
The sort of true enthusiasm I inspire<br />
<br />
All our fields our rivers and<br />
Mountains kneel before him<br />
Children and blind widows even<br />
Animals adore him<br />
<br />
These are truly happy times<br />
No unemployment<br />
No inflation<br />
And no crime<br />
<br />
Happy times!.
