Ludwig lyrics

A peculiar kind of bathing took place yesterday King Ludwig was to meet the Doc on Starnbergsee The Doctor's will is the monarchists' politicians' Was he bad, asks Sissi the snake I was not mad, says Ludwig the fake Castles were built of marble and gold The king's left alone, suddicts were sold Our king has lost his grip and his virility He drowned himself at dawn the waves wept jewellery He wasn't yet dead when Wagner wrote the requiem Was he bad, asks Sissi the snake I was not mad, says Ludwig the fake Castles were built of marble and gold The king's left alone, suddicts were sold Is he dead? the chancellor raves What a drag! Bavaria's pride Was it a bet? the court is amazed Was he a fag? he ran out of sand
