  • [ENSEMBLE]
  • If you live around here
  • You need cash in the bank
  • 'Cause the houses 'round here
  • Are all flashy and swank
  • An' the front bit, ha
  • 'at's what's called a facade!
  • All the people 'round here
  • Are as posh as can be
  • You won't seem hobnobbin'
  • With rubbish like me
  • It's the snob bit
  • Also called a facade
  • Every day
  • People, in their own sweet way
  • Like to add a coat of paint
  • And be what they ain't!
  • That's how our little -
  • Game is played
  • Livin' out their masquerade
  • Getting rich and getting laid
  • Who'd want to trade?
  • But there's one thing I know
  • And I know it for sure:
  • This disease that we've got
  • Has got no ready cure!
  • And I'm certain
  • Life is terribly hard
  • When your life's a facade!
  • Every night here one house
  • Or another is a funhouse
  • 'Cause there's someone giving a party
  • As you see, sir!
  • This one here tonight
  • Is rather special, am I right?
  • It's the betrothal of Sir Danver's
  • Daughter, Lisa
  • Sir Danvers Carew is a good man
  • They call him the creme de la creme
  • Whatever that means
  • He's a bloody sight better than them!
  • Nearly everyone you meet
  • When walking down a London street
  • Pretends to be a pillar of society
  • A model of propriety
  • Sobriety, and piety
  • Who's never even heard of notoriety
  • The ladies an' gents 'ere before you
  • Which none of 'em ever admits
  • May have saintly looks
  • But they're sinners an' crooks!
  • Hypocrites!
  • If you live around here
  • You need lots of panache
  • If you live in down, dear
  • Then you must cut a dash
  • T'isn't hard, dear
  • To create a facade
  • You must seem to be rich
  • And to have money to burn
  • Even though it's a *****
  • Spending more than you earn
  • That's the game here
  • And the name is facade
  • One or two
  • Might look kinda well-to-do
  • But I bet you precious few
  • Have payed for their boots
  • I'm inclined to think -
  • Half mankind thinks the other
  • Half is blind
  • Wouldn't be surprised to find
  • They're all in cahoots
  • At the end of the day
  • They don't mean what they say
  • They don't say what they mean
  • They don't ever come clean
  • And the answer
  • Is it's all a facade
  • Call a walk promenade
  • Call a street boulevard
  • Grease your hair with pomade
  • You'll be held in regard
  • And I betcha
  • If you stay on your guard (stay on your guard)
  • They'll all say you're a card
  • People love the facade (stay on your guard)
  • What's behind the facade?
  • [JEKYLL]
  • Look behind the facade
