I've been planning my escape
Digging at the wall with a spoon
Down in the dungeon
By every full moon
Ever since Prince Tuesday found me
With her arms around me
Dancing on the banks of the Rhine
With King Friday's Concubine
We would meet every Tuesday
At the Chez Champagne
Slip a five dollar bill
To Lady Elaine
It's just our little secret
Hope you can see your way to keep it
She was soft as calamine
And King Friday's Concubine
I ain't one to be naive
But I got my doubts
I'll catch that last trolley out
Of the Land of Make-Believe
They caught me at the station
An empty suitcase in my hand
A white carnation
And a foiled plan
I try to put it all behind me
But she told them where to find me
Left hangin' on the line
By King Friday's Concubine
