Play My Darling, Play - Katzenjammer

A messenger arrived through a sunlit open door

Passed the dangers of the world to his troubled queen so bored

With a voice full of worry and a frightened fighter’s face

Another day’s morning in life’s busy race

He looked into her eyes before he spoke

(He said)

Play, my darling, play

Don’t you put yourself on the throne no more

Play, my darling, play

There’s a world outside your broken border (s)

Play, my darling, play

Don’t you put your key in another door

Play, my darling, play

With the world outside your broken borders

She’s a lonely young girl, she’s the sister of the moon

Her heart is like November, though she wants it to be June

Oo, larger than life, she’s standing there so tall

There’s a note with her name, and it’s hanging on the wall

Her eyes, they opened wide when she read

(And he said)

Play, my darling, play…

She’s stuck there on her island so marooned

Oo, the limelights got her blinded and harpooned

(She said)
