Alan Cumming - A Sojourn Round Europe, Pt. 3 (Live) lyrics

[Spoken] So now ah now Ladies and gentlemen we're going to Germany,and this song could not be more German It was written by [?] and [?] and had the very good pleasure of singing it every night But ah 8 years ago when I played Mcknight and the 3-penny opera at studio 54 here in [?] (audience clapping) And now that was the reaction we got from the audience then too.Thank you for Anyone see it? (yah yah) Yes yes? You liked it? (yah yah) now you know what it feel to be in the minority (laughter). Because (hehe) It doesn't go down very well.

(laughter) And to this ah reporter guy said that it looked like I had a T-set down my pants right.(laughter) Hahaha... And I thought two things about that… I thought number 1, I want to go and have “T” where he has “T” (laughter)... And number 2, What the… so ahm (laughter) It's an interesting thing though. Imagine It's an interesting thing that you're a you're a male actor and yet the craft you've honed for decades is derided in a couple of sentences , but the thing that is in your underpants is defied (laughter) at the same time it's really an interesting thing and guess what.It all evens out. (laughter) Everything is at it should be
