Track: La Maupin's Swordplay Album: Haunted Estate (Intro) "Yeah... 4:00 AM in the drawing room... She just sliced my coffee table in half... 17th century opera star... Franky... put the sword down..." [Verse 1] Rapier flashing under flickering fluorescent lights Singing alto in the opera, winning all the fights Set a convent on fire just to rescue her girl Spinning through the ballroom in a velvet coat swirl Three duels in a single night, leaving men in the dust Living on gunpowder, wine, and theatrical lust She’s standing on my rug with a blade in her hand Telling me the 1600s didn't understand Pissed off the King, had to flee to Marseilles Living like a rockstar, throwing caution away! [Chorus] La Maupin in the haunted hall! Slicing through the shadows painted on the wall! I ain't happy, I'm feeling fine Got a sharp French rapier on the mind Yeah, duel in the drawing room, steel against steel... Showing all the ghosts how the real danger feels! [Verse 2] Challenged every nobleman who dared to talk trash Turned a formal dinner party into a total clash Kissed a lady on the floor, drew a sword on her date Never asked for permission, never showed up late Got a phantom operasinger drinking all of my gin Lifting up her glass with a razor-sharp grin She said "Franky, my friend, life is meant to be loud You don't bow to the king, you just shatter the crowd!" [Bridge] Did she burn the convent down? ... Absolutely. Did she win the duel? ... Every time. Can I have my coffee table back? ... "En garde, monsieur." [Chorus] La Maupin in the haunted hall! Slicing through the shadows painted on the wall! I ain't happy, I'm feeling fine Got a sharp French rapier on the mind Yeah, duel in the drawing room, steel against steel... Showing all the ghosts how the real danger feels! [Outro] Curtain call... Blade in the sheath... Haunted Estate... Out!
