AUTHOR'S NOTE: THIS WILL BE IN RAN'S POV.
If you live around here
You need cash in the bank
'Cause the houses 'round here
Are all flashy and swank
An' the front bit, ha!
'at's what's called a facade!
All the people 'round here
Are as posh as can be A person sang as we went past with Doctor Jekyll.
You won't see 'em
With rubbish like me! Another sang.
It's the snob bit
Also called a façade! The poor men chorused together.
Every day
People, in their own sweet way
Like to add a coat of paint
And be what they ain't!
That's how our little game is played
Livin' out their masquerade
Getting rich and getting laid
Who'd want to trade? They sang.
I pulled on Daddy's coat sleeve.
"What does 'Getting laid' mean?" I asked Daddy.
I could have sworn Daddy went red with embarrassment. Sam, Ray, Ben and Uncle Stephen chuckled.
"Ummm..." Daddy stammered. "Rani dear..."
"You really don't want to know, little one." Doctor Jekyll also was red with shyness.
"I don't?"
"No, you don't. Trust me." Dr. Jekyll insisted.
"Um, let's just save that for when we're older, okay?" Mei chuckled.
"Good point." I nodded in agreement.
But there's one thing I know And I know it for sure:
This disease that we've got
Has got no ready cure!
And I'm certain
Life is terribly hard
When your life's a facade! Everyone sang as we continued on to the engagement party.
This one here tonight
Is rather special, am I right?
It's the betrothal of Sir Danver's
Daughter, Lisa? A poor woman pointed out.
Sir Danvers Carew is a good man
They call him the crème de la crème!
Whatever that means-The man grudged.
He's a bloody sight better than them! The woman gave her honest opinion.
Nearly everyone you meet
When walking down a London street
Pretends to be a pillar of society
A model of propriety
Sobriety, and piety
Who's never even heard of notoriety
The ladies an' gents 'ere before you
Which none of 'em ever admits
May have saintly looks
But they're sinners an' crooks!
