The Ingenue - Paul Barrere, Bill Payne, Fred Tackett, Craig Fuller
    She ain't real friendly for no good reason

    Claims her life's been filled with treason
    Says she's cursed by a toothless gypsy
    Wonderin' why her life's so greasy

    With doulbe blades she dulls her senses
    Spiteful girl by all consensus
    All her life it's been the same
    Hell she don't even like her name

    She longs to be the ingenue
    To leading men tall dark and handsome
    But now the play has passed her by... oh my
    There's no exit
    Oh no there's no way out at all
    There's no exit

    Jumped a train in Italy
    On her way to gay Paris
    Down in the Loire Valley
    She got sho drunk she couldn't see
    Stumblin' through a metro station
    In a mood for conversation
    Fortune teller read her palm
    Told her that her time was gone

    She longs to be the ingenue
    To leading men tall dark and handsome
    But now the play has passed her by... oh my
    There's no exit
    Oh no there's no way out at all
    There's no exit

    She used to model as a child
    With Bardot's looks and Gigi's laughter
    Enfant terrible creation
    Of a sockless adman's mind
    Played her first recital at the tender age of nine
    Strains of Clare de Lune
    Mater sipping wine
    Pater in the garden gazing
    At those ponies grazing
    The spoils of a lonely child

    She longs to be the ingenue
    To leading men tall dark and handsome
    Once just a jet-trash kid
    Down at Les Halles
    Her frequent trips to Nice
    In Monaco she was always welcome
    She was embraced by all society
    Along the way she lost her charms
    Now the play has passed her by
