[Verse 1]
At last the crimson chord cascades
To shower dry cordials within
Too late to leap the chocolate gate
(Pale fountains fizzing forth pink gin)

[Verse 2]
While destiny prepares to fly
The farmyard chorus sings its wake
Upstanding anthem to the sky
(Too soon to realize their fate)

[Verse 3]
You were the raven of October (It's all, it's all)
I knew the sign you flew around (It's all, it's all)
Up in the air so high above me
Never needed to look down

[Verse 4]
I never thought I'd be a rover
I didn't even look around
But now I know you've found another
So will someone please find me

[Outro]
Give now the host his claret cup
And watch Madeira's farewell drink
Note his reaction acid sharp
Should make the cognoscenti think
