Lyrics

The Duchess

Photographic duchess, cousin of the queen

I've been infatuated duchess since I knew you had the queen

It's the way you move in castle grounds

You are the cousin of the queen for Christ's sake

Duchess I will like you

And that says a lot for me

I'd like you even better duchess

If she died and you were queen

Regal by appointment, relation to the queen

I thought you were attractive, duchess

But that clinched it all for me

It's the way you move in castle grounds

You are the cousin of the queen for Christ's sake

Duchess I will like you

And that says a lot for me

I'd like you even better duchess

If she died and you were queen

Sometimes you're here at my side

And sometimes you travel in time

I don't believe that wherever you travel

You'd get an assistant like mine

Sometimes you're here at my side

And sometimes you travel in time

I don't believe that wherever you travel

You'd get an assistant like mine

Duchess I will like you

And that says a lot for me

I'd like you even better duchess

If she died and you were queen

Duchess I will like you

And that says a lot for me

I'd like you even better duchess

If she died and you were queen

(instrumental break)
