    Lyrics
    FABIOLA AND THE SAD FACED CLOWN

    't Was at the party of Lazarus
    Casanova came up to me
    To discuss the beauty of Fabiola dressed in white
    I saw her standing with the sad faced clown
    Music, Beethoven's hearing-aid found
    She told them a joke, ending it with a smile
    Lazarus frowned, he didn't understand
    She lost grip, I offered my hand
    Casanova fetched us a drink
    Meanwhile a warm summer's breeze blew through the room

    Lazarus went out to get some air
    Beethoven now lost speech
    In despair he hit Casanova who willingly got hurt
    Lazarus came back in, looking fine
    Fabiola took a nip of her wine
    Very carefully spilling some on my shirt
    Smoke was coming from the fire in the garden

    When the doorbell rang around midnight
    In came this man called Mr. Hide
    Who was Lazarus' best friend ever after
    He and Fabiola went outside
    Where Beethoven had suddenly died of fright
    For he had heard Hide's evil laughter
    I stared out the window, only darkness
    But then I saw Fabiola's white dress
    Stained with blood, taken by the winds
    That were laughing at Casanova and his shoes

    He jumped up and went out through the window
    Leaving no trace, not even his shadow
    About that time Lazarus went asleep
    He grasped for the dress, but felt a hand
    Hide screaming "The promised land!"
    But she held on and came back from the deep
    When Hide sank further into the ground
    Fabiola's tears drawn on the face of the clown
    But she drew him a smile he would forever keep
    Her tears dried in the first light of dawn

    He took Fabiola back inside
    The party was over, Casanova had died
    And Lazarus was seeing out all the guests
    Beethoven played some old love song
    I kissed Fabiola goodbye, "So long"
    Then she left, still wearing her muddy but white dress
    I greeted Beethoven and I went home
