Cherise was brushing her long hair gently down
It was the afternoon of carnival
As she brushes it gently down
Rubin was strumming his painted mandolin
It was inlaid with a pretty face in jade
Played the carnival parade
Cherise was dressing as Pirouette in white
When a fatal vision gripped her tight
Cherise beware tonight
Rubin, Rubin 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 my heart you would know it's true
There's none Cherise еxcept for you, except for you
I'd swеar to it on my very soul if I lie may I fall down cold
When Rubin played on his painted mandolin
The breeze would pause to listen in
Before going its way again
Masquerade began when nightfall finally woke
Like waves against the bandstand dancers broke
To the painted mandolin
Looking out to the crowd who is standing there
Sweet Ruby Claire at Rubin stared, at Rubin stared
She was dressed as Pirouette in red
And her hair hung gently down
It was the afternoon of carnival
As she brushes it gently down
Rubin was strumming his painted mandolin
It was inlaid with a pretty face in jade
Played the carnival parade
Cherise was dressing as Pirouette in white
When a fatal vision gripped her tight
Cherise beware tonight
Rubin, Rubin 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 my heart you would know it's true
There's none Cherise еxcept for you, except for you
I'd swеar to it on my very soul if I lie may I fall down cold
When Rubin played on his painted mandolin
The breeze would pause to listen in
Before going its way again
Masquerade began when nightfall finally woke
Like waves against the bandstand dancers broke
To the painted mandolin
Looking out to the crowd who is standing there
Sweet Ruby Claire at Rubin stared, at Rubin stared
She was dressed as Pirouette in red
And her hair hung gently down
