[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
From one person's miserable life after another
She could talk to the French and Germans at will
They never listen, they never will

[Chorus]
The Chinese envoy was here
The Chinesе envoy was here but lеft
The Chinese envoy was here
The Chinese envoy was here
The Chinese envoy 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
The Chinese envoy was here but left
The Chinese envoy was here
The Chinese envoy was here
The Chinese envoy was here but left
In his broken hearted pagoda
