So, farewell to my friend
(A Cappella)
He who taught me to love like a beast
and to feast like the queen
that he fed turtle soup
Little boy from Paris
to the states, check the facts
That was Magical Max
He was black sheep
and mischief
and love for his craft
And he told me that I was Apollo 13
on that very last day
He said shoot for your dreams
little girl To the stars
Well, I'm taking you with me
now this one is ours
And I know what you'd say
you'd say, "On with the show!"
So on we go...
