A gift for the king!

A gift for the king!

What silly old thing did he bring for the king?

Who who who who

Is the Marquis of Carabas?

Who is he and why don't we know the name?

All these Marquises cluttering up the upperclass

Who can keep track?

All of them look the same...

His servant is back!

His servant is back!

What wonderful thing has he got in his sack?

Who is this mysterious man from Carabas?

Why these gifts, and what is his little game?

Who? Why? What?

And where in the world is Carabas?

Who is this Marquis of ever-increasing fame?

The gift is immense!

The palace is tense!

Oh, isn't it grand?

Can we stand the suspense?

Where is this most marvelous man from Carabas?

Will he call? Our women are all aflame!

Young and handsome, that's the Marquis of Carabas

Rich as Croesus, so this gentleman claims

He's generous!

Glamourous!

Affluent!

Amorous!

Excellent!

Elegant!

Nice as can be, he's noble, notorious, gallant and glorious!

When do we meet this amazing Marquis?
