[Verse 1]
She was a princess, much lower than people thought
A master of nothing, a mistress of something she thought
[Verse 2]
She could talk about things that never mattered ever
In one person's miserable life after another
She could talk to the French and Germans at will
They'd never listen
They never will
[Chorus]
The Chinese envoy was here, was here but left
The Chinese envoy was here, was here but left
[Bridge]
Calling out her name you'd be surprised at what came
Galloping out of the darkness just like furniture
We'd have lost it all if it hadn't been for Cardinal Richelieu
And all his courtiers
[Chorus]
The Chinese envoy was here, was here but left
The Chinese envoy was here, was here but left
[Post-Chorus]
You said you never leave
You said you never leave
You said you never leave again
To be with you
She was a princess, much lower than people thought
A master of nothing, a mistress of something she thought
[Verse 2]
She could talk about things that never mattered ever
In one person's miserable life after another
She could talk to the French and Germans at will
They'd never listen
They never will
[Chorus]
The Chinese envoy was here, was here but left
The Chinese envoy was here, was here but left
[Bridge]
Calling out her name you'd be surprised at what came
Galloping out of the darkness just like furniture
We'd have lost it all if it hadn't been for Cardinal Richelieu
And all his courtiers
[Chorus]
The Chinese envoy was here, was here but left
The Chinese envoy was here, was here but left
[Post-Chorus]
You said you never leave
You said you never leave
You said you never leave again
To be with you
