Verse 2
He pacified the nappy-suffering, infant-bleating one-line jokers     
T.V. documentary makers, overfed and undertakers 
Sunday paper backgammon players  family-scarred and women-haters. 
Then he called the band down to the stage 
and helooked at all the friends he'd made. 


The minstrel in the gallery looked down on the rabbit-run. 
And threw away his looking-glass, saw his face in everyone. 


The minstrel in the gallery yea yes
Looked down upon the smiling faces
