Scene 3
"The Execution of Louis Capet"
RINGMASTER
In the spring of '92
The Austrians and the Prussians too
Crossed the line
The war had come
The people went to see the King
Reluctantly he let them in
RINGMASTER & CHORUS
And over tea they said that
He must choose one hat
RINGMASTER
A crown in Koblenz with his friends
Or if he chose to make amends
He might adopt
CHORUS
He might adopt
RINGMASTER & CHORUS
Their scarlet bonnet
RINGMASTER
Surprise, surprise, when left to choose
Too late, he chose "The Bonnet Rouge"
