YOU TOOK THE TRAIN TO MEMPHIS,
TO THE ONE YOU LOVED SO LONG,
NOT KNOWING THAT YOU LEFT ME HERE TO CRY.
AND AS I READ YOUR LETTER,
I CAN SEE IT ALL WENT WRONG,
IT'S NOT MY PLACE TO SIT AND WONDER WHY.
NOW YOU THOUGHT THAT HE'D STILL LOVE YOU
AND THAT THINGS WOULD BE THE SAME.
BUT, DARLING, I CAN READ BETWEEN THE LINES.
YOU SEEM TO THINK HE NEEDS YOU
BUT IN FACT IT'S JUST A GAME,
SO I'LL BE HERE TO HELP YOU ANY TIME.
SEND ME THE HEART THAT'S BEEN BROKEN IN TWO,
I'LL MEND IT AND SEND IT BACK TO YOU.
SEND ME THE HEART THAT'S BEEN BROKEN IN TWO,
I'LL MEND IT AND SEND IT BACK TO YOU.
SO IF YOU'RE FEELING LONELY,

BUT SOMEHOW I SUSPECT IT COULDN'T BE, YEH.
MOST LIKELY YOU STAY WITH HIM
EVEN THOUGH HE BREAKS YOUR HEART,
BUT WHEN HE DOES IT, PLEASE, REMEMBER ME.
SEND ME THE HEART THAT'S BEEN BROKEN IN TWO,
I'LL MEND IT AND SEND IT BACK TO YOU.
SEND ME THE HEART THAT'S BEEN BROKEN IN TWO,

Well, welcome to the robbers' ball
Both gentlemen and ladies all
Are welcome to the revelry tonight
Tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight
There are no stouter men than we
It is not so, oh, no no no
It is not so, oh, no no no
Oh ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
It is not so, ha ha ha ha
It is not so
We noblemen are casual
But know no sense, in fact you all
How glad you are when we come into sight
For in the middle of the night
We still are pals without a light
And go where no one else would dare to fight
There are no stouter men than we
It is not so, no no no no
It is not so, oh, no no no
Oh, no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no
Oh, no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no
Oh, no no no, it is not so
No, nothing like that, it is not so
We noblemen are very fax
We'll have you know for two back stacks
That we must face exact the likes of you
And naught can beat us more than laughs
The spitting image of our dads
Especially when we've had a pint or two
Oh, no no no (oh, no no no), oh, no no no (oh, no no no)
Oh, no no no (oh, no no no), that is not so
Oh no, oogy boogy boogy dow
Oogy boogy dow
Well, welcome to the robbers' ball
Both gentlemen and ladies all
Are welcome to the revelry tonight
Tonight, tonight
