The Fiery Furnaces - Cabaret of the Seven Devils lyrics

Disregard for how and where and with whom You amuse yourself encourages bad behavior The Duke, as was appropriate, held himself in high regard And therefore considered himself in need of encouragement He expected the people of Madrid render him this service And as convenient setting for the achievement of this end He established the Cabaret of the Seven Devils This is what happened: Sick and tired of what pa**ed for diversion at the Carnival Palace of Don Diego de Cordona I'm sick and tired of what pa**ed for diversion at the Carnival Palace of Don Diego de Cordona So-so-so lucky to have him there in the first place And he certainly was in the First Place— The Duke of Medina Sidonia, himself made up his own mind When he must go back to the 'capital', Which was soon, "And which I hate," He would take his exercise in the town. The evening in question was a moonless Monday The evening in question was a moonless Monday And carrying his own purse The evening in question was a moonless Monday And carrying his own purse And carrying his own purse With only one valet (only one—but by far his best swordsman) The Duke marched into the least auspicious tavern, Tossed his silver bag at whom he a**umed was the proprietor And said, or barked, I mean, "This establishment will now serve my purposes. And I should like it to be known as the Cabaret of the Seven Devils." 1234567
