From his forthcoming opera “Jennifer” Robin provides us with the lyrics of a song.
The King Of Pain
(To be sung to the melody of My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean)
Setting: inside the Emperor’s torture chanmber. The torturer enters.)
I don’t know why nobody likes me.
I don’t know why nobody cares.
I don’t know why nobody wants me.
I don’t know why no girl is there.
Hear me, fear me,
I rule this very domain!
See me, flee me,
I’m the king of pain!
My cat urinates on my sweater.
That’s cool cause it smells anyway.
My ex-wife has found someone better.
She’s gone having fun far away.
Watch out, no doubt,.
This is the place where I reign!
Feel me, the real me,
I’m the king of pain!
