The Lyrics
I've done a few French Rev-themed parodies, and a while ago, Michael Pacholek suggested I do "I'll Put Some Hell on You," from the perspective of Robespierre. "Towers" refers to the ramparts of the Bastille.
"I'll put some hell on you
Post-'89.
"That's after Antoinette and Lou
Have heads flyin';
Yeah, they're dyin'.
"I just couldn't stand 'em,
Decked out in their crowns.
Now you've stormed the Bastille,
Have a pastille--no cake to be found.
"I'll put some hell on you,
The Terror kind.
That kind.
"Adieu, tours, [Goodbye, towers]
Bonjour, tours. [Hello, tourism]
De vous, tour [It's your turn]
A vous, tour. [I tricked you] Hear this vow:
You'd best beware
'Cause the guillotine
Goes nonstop now.
So fear me!"
But his head fell; he too
Felt the 'tine's tine.*
*sharp projecting point.
Post-'89.
