The Countess and The Common Man
Stephen Flaherty
[VLAD]
Ever since that first day I saw you at court,
I knew I was beneath you.

[LILY]
You were right, darling. You were.

[VLAD]
I noticed you across a room—
The most exquisite rose
The tiniest tiara and
That haughty little nose
I flirted with you shamelessly

[LILY]
Or so the scandal goes...
The Countess

[VLAD]
And the common man
We tiptoed off to Peterhof
To have a royal fling
[LILY]
My husband was oblivious
Counts never know a thing!

[VLAD]
And all of it was perfect...

[LILY]
'Til you stole my diamond ring!

[VLAD & LILY]
The Countess
And the common man

[VLAD]
Cologne in the bedclothes
The pastry and wine

[LILY]
And under the table
Your foot touching mine

[VLAD & LILY]
And how my heart beat
When you sent me "our sign"
[LILY]
I loved you...

[VLAD]
You loved me
And oh, it was simply

[VLAD & LILY]
Divine...

[VLAD]
Who would have known
My little rose
We're back where we began

[LILY]
And I suppose
That you'll propose
Another sneaky plan!
Which I'll resist...

[VLAD]
Until you're kissed

[VLAD & LILY]
For nothing's better than...
[LILY]
The countess

[VLAD]
And the common man...

[VLAD & LILY]
The countess
And the common man
