Cérise was brushing her long hair gently down
It was the afternoon of Carnival
As she brushes it gently down
Reuben was strumming his painted mandolin
It was enlaid with a pretty face in jade
Played the Carnival Parade
Cérise was dressing as Pirouette in white
When a fatal vision gripped her tight
Cérise, beware tonight
Reuben, Reuben, tell me truly true
I feel afraid and I don't know why I do
Is there another girl for you
If you could see in my heart
You would know it's true
There is none, Cérise, except for you
Except for you
I swear to it on my very soul
If I lie may I fall down cold
When Reuben played on his painted mandolin
The breeze would stop and listen in
Before going its way again
It was the afternoon of Carnival
