Les Bizarrables
Who's Renee?
VALSEAN:
He thinks Renee is real.
He's such an artless hick.
This altered look-and-feel
Could really do the trick.
Why should I clue him in?
Why should I sell her out?
When his rep is so thin,
And hers has grown so stout?
If I speak, I fail the test.
If I stay silent, I can't rest.
I am the master of hundreds of call-girls.
They all work for me.
Can I abandon them?
What will they think
If I fail t.b.?
If I speak, I fail the test.
If I stay silent, I can't rest.
Who's Renee?
Can I dismiss this girl's publicity?
Pretend to miss her catholicity?
This innocent who knows our ways,
Who's sparked a talcum powder craze...
Who's Renee?
Can I conceal this stunt for evermore?
Pretend she's not the girl we took her for?
And must the stories that she writes
Reveal us to be parasites?
Such delights!
How can I venerate my fellow nerds?
How can I desecrate her sacred words?
My soul belongs to Bob, I know.
The Pope of Clifton told me so.
He found hope in my hopeless way.
He helped me when I went astray.
Who's Renee? Who's Renee?
Le monde entier!
And so, Jaferre, you see it's true.
There's even some Renee in you!
Who's Renee?
We are all Renee!
