[Verse 1]
Well, Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa men have named you
You're so like a lady with a mystic smile
Is it only 'cause you're lonely they have named you
For that Mona Lisa strangeness in your smile
[Verse 2]
Well, is your smile to tempt a lover, Mona Lisa
Or is this the way to hide your broken heart?
Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep
They just lie there, and they die there
Are you warm, are you real, Mona Lisa
Or just a cold and lonely, lovely work of art?
[Verse 3]
Well, in a villa, in a little old Italian town
There lives a girl whose beauty shames the rogue
And he yearned to love her but their hopes all tumbled down
What does she want, I guess nobody knows
[Verse 4]
Yes, is your smile to tempt a lover, Mona Lisa
Or is this the way to hide your broken heart?
Are you warm, are you real, Mona Lisa
Or just a cold and lonely, lovely work of art?
Or just a cold and lonely, lovely work of art?
Or just a cold and lonely, lovely work of art?
[Outro]
Thank you very much
That was a song made famous by the (Tapes?) Conway Twitty in the 1950s
And, um, what we propose to do here tonight is a combination of
Songs of mine from the Sixties and songs of other people's from the Fifties
And the trick is with wearing a suit like this is, um
Is the same trick as living in America today
Which is how do you come to terms with wealth and such
In a world so filled with troubles
Can you still have a sense of responsibility?
STRIP!
No, no, I could never strip, for that would be cheap
I prefer to maintain my dignity as an American citizen
I will never strip
So I will now try to wear this gold suit and sing a song of significance
And try to have, we'll all come to terms with responsibility
