Lyrics Things Are Not What They Appear

Radcliff Talking
Your royal highnesses, lords and
ladies of the court, and our
distinguished guests from the
forests of the new world

Jester
Things are not what they appear
as tonight will make quite clear
But what is real will be revealed
I can feel the moment's near

Jester 2
Things are never what they seem
that will be this evening's theme
A music sights for your delight
perhaps a few to make you scream

Radcliff
You'll be surprised to see whose disguise
is the cleverest one of the lot
after our show the whole world will know
who's is pretending to be what they are not
If a jesters grin or a dancers spin
should be pleasing, please say "Yea!"

Crowd
Yea!

Radcliff
If a jugglers feat should be incomplete
he's the one to greet with Nay

Crowd
Nay!

Radcliff
If the fools we see should look like you and me
then before the night goes by
Ask why, why, why, why, why,
Why?

Jester
Things are not what they appear
and the finest proof's right here

Radcliff
How I regret when we first meet
I believe my own worst fear

Jester 2
Things are never what they seem
so in keeping with our theme

Radcliff
A change of hair, a dress to wear
and our nightmare's now a dream
Clueless and wild
I saw this sweet child as a
danger to one and to all
Savage, I thought
what could have Rolfe have brought
not I see she is the belle of the ball
Things are never what they seem

Crowd
He's right, he's right

Radcliff
Many don't say what they mean

Crowd
He's right, he's right

Jester
A powered face is just the place

Jester 2
To hide an ugly scheme

Radcliff
Only one things really clear
things are not what they appear
