Prince of Spades

Comin' back, comin' home

The Queen of Love enters the room

Silence ensues

Tell the king, "What have you done to my life?

Did you take me for a fool or for a wife?"

I, I, I, I, I, I, I

The king is in his court

Countin' all his diamonds

One by one, they do fall

Says the queen, "I've heard

The Prince of Spades is comin' home

Be nice if you could find some time alone

After all, he's in line for the throne"

And the king is in his court

Countin' all his diamonds

One by one, they do fall

Oh, they do fall

So now, just get up off your ass

Leave all your treasures behind

Your son is comin' home

With you to spend time

Show him how a good king should be

And don't ever forget the day

When you turn your back on him and me

And still I stay

Still I stay
