Original lyrics
ENMadame antoine, madame antoine
It's getting dark outside
It's time to come in
Oh mother!
Madame antoine, it's time to come in
Yes, yes mother, i'm coming
One day...
One day i'll be queen
Live on peaches and cream
Wear satin and lace
And laugh in the faces
Of the teachers and priests
And the boys will all fawn
Fawn before me like beasts
Madame antoine, it's time to come in
Little princess, so sure you are right
But your endless day is their endless night
You can preen in the limelight
In your diamonds in pearls
But the children go hungry
In that other world
Madame antoine, it's time to come in
Little sparrow fly back to wherever you're from
You could never imagine the plane i live on
The intricate steps of the tumblers and clowns
Are above and beyond you cock robin
So just you pipe down
