[ Featuring
David Ogden Stiers ]
Things are not what they appear
As tonight will make quite clear
But what is real will be revealed
I can feel the moment's near
Things are never what they seem
That will be this evening's theme
A music sites for your delight
Perhaps a few to make you scream
You will be surprised to see whose disguise
Is the cleverest one of the lot
After our show the whole world will know
Who's pretending to be what they're not
If a jester's grin or a dancer's spin
Should be pleasing, please say, yea
(Yea)
If a juggler's feat should be incomplete
He's the one you greet with nay
(Nay)
If the fools we see should look like you and me
Then before the night goes by
Ask why, why, why, why, why, why
Things are not what they appear
And the finest proof's right here
How I regret when first we met
I believe my own worst fear
Things are not what they seem
So in keeping with our theme
A change of hair, a dress to wear
And our nightmare's now a dream
Clueless and wild, I saw this sweet child
As a danger to one and to all
Savage, I thought, what could have Rolfe have brought
Now I see she's the belle of the ball
Thing are never what they seem
(He's right, he's right)
Many don't say what they mean
(He's right, he's right)
A powered face is just the place
To conceal an ugly scheme
Only one thing's really clear
Things are not what they appear
