[SOLO BOY]
I am a great big pig

[SOLO BOY]
I am the King of France

[SOLO BOY]
His wife likes to dance

[SOLO BOY]
I am the Church of Rome
I stand behind the throne

[SOLO BOY]
I am the public purse; they think I'm bottomless

[SOLO BOY]
I am the public accounts; I admit I'm a bit of a mess

[SOLO GIRL]
I am the American war and they say I'm rather greedy

[SOLO GIRL]
I am the national debt; I'm big but needy

[SOLO BOY]
I am a noble

[SOLO BOY]
I am the clergy

[SOLO BOY]
I am the ordinary man

I'm a ravening wolf

[MALE CHORUS]
I'm a, I'm a, I'm a ravening wolf

[FEMALE CHORUS]
I'm a, I'm a, I'm a heart of thorns

[MALE CHORUS]
It's the end of the shield of divine law

[TROUBLEMAKER]
I'm the oak tree

[CHILDREN'S CHORUS]
I am the oak tree and I am the columbine
I am the pig searching for truffles

[CHORUS]
And I am the peacock whose feathers are ruffled
