Something convulsive, something repulsive,
Something for everyone, The Notables tonight!
Something aesthetic, something balletic,
Something for everyone, The Notables tonight!

Nothing that's formal, nothing that's normal,
No recitations to recite!
Open up the curtain,
(curtain begins to close)
Notables tonight!
