These carnivals of beauty, so free,
These carnivals of beauty, you see,
These carnivals of beauty, wild and glee,
These carnivals of beauty, endlessly.
Tell me, what did you say?

One heart, alas, so frail and small,
One heart, besieged by troubles' call,
One heart, destined to rise or fall,
One heart, embracing one and all.
Tell me, what did you say?
These carnivals of beauty, so free,
These carnivals of beauty, you see,
These carnivals of beauty, wild and glee,
These carnivals of beauty, endlessly.

The flirt, with eyes that pierce and gleam,
The flirt, a lover's fevered dream,
The flirt, who whispers, "Be mine, it would seem,"
The flirt, beckoning, a life supreme.
Then I, with a gesture, bold and bright,
Then I, offered a thumb in the light,
Then I, spoke, "Take this, with all your might."
Then I, turned away from the fading night.
Tell me, what did you say?
These carnivals of beauty, so free,
These carnivals of beauty, you see,
These carnivals of beauty, wild and glee,
These carnivals of beauty, endlessly.

To die for beauty, you've not the art,
To die for beauty, to rend the heart,
To love, you've not the skill to impart,
To love, you've not the beating start.
Become my disciple, if you dare,
Become my student, beyond compare,
Become my devotee, and learn to care,
Become my slave, a love to share.
Tell me, what did you say?
These carnivals of beauty, so free,
These carnivals of beauty, you see,
These carnivals of beauty, wild and glee,
These carnivals of beauty, endlessly.
Tell me, what remains?
