Sung to “Your Daddy’s Son” from “Ragtime”
Percy played with Frenchies
Played 'em very well
Those white slender hands could catch you like a spell
He could fool a citizen
'fore Ca Ira was done
Armand ruined it all
Armand was pretty dumb
Percy never knew Chau Chau was on his way
He was meeting Armand to tell him what to say
When Percy was captured, Armand just up an' run
Only thing in his head,
"Gee, that was pretty dumb!"
Couldn't hear not music
Couldn't see no light
Armand, he was frightened
Crazy from the fright
Tears without no comfort
Screams without no sound
Only darkness and pain
The anger and pain
The blood and the pain
He ran like a mad man through town
Through the town
When he knew that Percy had been found
Percy played with Frenchies
Played 'em very well,
Margot can't forget him
Don't suppose she will
God wants no excuses
Armand has only one
Jeanne was in cruel hands
But who cares
Armand was pretty dumb
