The Prince of Humbug

The Prince of Humbug
 Balderdash
 Fiddle, faddle, drivel, posh
 Twiddle, twaddle, blather, bosh
 Bilge and dodge and double-dutch
 And flim-flam I am!
 The King of Hogwash
 Tommyrot
 Jibber, jabber, blabber, bluff
 Hocus-pocus, gabble, guff
 Scam and sham and just a touch
 Of white lie am I
 Duke of tripe and idle chat
 Earl of oil, Lord of flat
 Emperor of rigmarole
 That I am, bless my soul
 The Prince of Humbug
 Poppycock
 Piffle, waffle, panner junk
 Hokum, hooey, chatter, bunk
 Wile and guile and trumpery
 That's me
 In a world of sting and shock
 This moment we spend
 Down a road of ridge and rot
 Toward Lord knows what end
 Through a night as dark as space and cold as the sea
 Someone's got to make it right
 Shoot a rocket, shine a light
 Tell you who the someone's gonna be!
 The Prince of Humbug
 Tongue-in-cheek
 Shilly, shally, pull the wool
 Blarney, bogus, cock and bull
 Hoax and prank and hanky-pank
 And some skullduggery
 I am! And damn, I'll always be!
 Yeah!
