But the warriors have tired of listening,

For the Trocaderos call them with their Coon jazz-bands.

Double-Bass

I strut with wicked tiger-eyes

Beware! Beware!

Bubbles of rubied flame arise

When villain gloats or hero dies

’Tis I am there.

When the last-breathed cry is uttered,

When the ghastly raven’s fluttered.
