Mère Ubu
Now that he's made himself king Père Ubu means to change every thing.
No more justice.
Finance or law.
Into his belly he has gobbled them all.
The great and good are sheep cowering.
With one voice they cry, We won't agree to anything.
That's not Père Ubu's Law.
That's not Père Ubu's Law.
He won't listen to me but he listens to you all.
Père Ubu
I agree to everything!
Mère Ubu
Why have you done this to me?
What have you made me become?
A good wife I meant to be.
Take care, I counseled until I was numb.
Tickle their ears saying life will be fair.
He pulls on my titties.
He yanks out my hair.
That's not Père Ubu's fault.
That's not Père Ubu's fault.
He won't listen to me but he listens to you all.
Père Ubu
I'll agree to anything!
Mère Ubu
I'm a victim of fate that's true.
He beats on me.
Cheats on me.
Makes me wear shoes.
You people sneer and show me no pity.
He makes me wear shoes and and makes me feel shitty.
My mercy is such I do not complain.
I bear it with grace.
All your vile thankless pain.
That's not Père Ubu's flaw.
That's not Père Ubu's flaw.
He won't listen to me but he listens to you all.
Père Ubu
I agree to every thing.
Mère Ubu
Here we are and here we must be.
At the bottom of a pit that's called Eternity.
How you got here may seem too mysterious.
His rapacity, I agree, can be far too tedious.
He's no gourmet.
Has no taste for duplicity.
If only he would listen to me.
That's not Père Ubu's Law.
That's not Père Ubu's Law.
He won't listen to me but he listens to you all.
Père Ubu
I agree to everything!
