Improvisation Marc Kudisch

[FLAMINIO, spoken]
So, you stand there. You stand there looking at me. What!? What would you like me to say?

(sung)
Flaminio Scala's historical journey

(spoken)
You're right, it's a disaster. A practical joke

(sung)
And the joke is on Scala

(spoken)
Our money gone, eh, Pantalone? Wrong from the start, right Francesco?

(sung)
Are you hoping I fall to my knees and admit
That my dreams are a joke and my jokes are all shit?
That it's high time I packed up and quit?
And here's the comical bit:

I've gone without bread
Lived close to the bone
Got into deep water and sunk like a stone
But, now and again, I had risen and flown like a kite
