What year are we living in?
Is that song banned?
Shunned? Forgotten?
Is it that time yet?

Do men have better judgement?
Are they less fickle?
So women won't have to
be any more?

Don't they play
king and duke
like boys anymore?
Don't they brag

about conquests anymore
laughing at the jester
who says it's not funny?
La donna รจ mobile?
Play "Le roi s'amuse" ("The king has fun", 1832, Victor Hugo)

Opera "Rigoletto" (1851, Giuseppe Verdi
- "Rigolo" = funny-man, funny, amusing)
- Air "La donna รจ mobile" ("Woman is fickle") - Duca (the duke)
