GRAND PRIX

 

The seed of greed is sown again, antique or unique, that’s the name of the game

Degree by ever increasing degree, desire fuels the hedonistic spree.

 

All eyes on the Grand Prix, The Big Prize

Surprise, surprise, eyes wider than wide, at the Big Prize.

 

One-time related ancestors told the story, two-timing suffocated contesters vie for glory

There is a mean streak, the inevitable green streak running through the cast and crew

Turn up their noses, tut at the tat, awaiting proposals, well how about that!

 

The Big Prize, surprise, surprise, eyes wider than wide, at the Big Prize.

 

Under the hammer, going for a song. Oh, what a prize lot I’ve got my eyes on.

 

The innocent silky milky maid, the not so innocent uncouth youth

The spinster peeking through hands amazed and the widower seeking the expert’s truth

 

Is it fake, is it antique, pastiche or fantastique

Cheap as chips, maybe Lalique, common as muck or tres chic.

 

The deliverer of views, the giver of news, just once in a blue, blue moon

Spies a prize that was missed by car-boot eyes, it’s only worth a small fortune.

 

Oh, the Big Prize

The Big Prize, surprise, surprise, eyes wider than wide, at the Big Prize

All eyes on the Big Prize.
