BARON
I am the very phantom of a modern Baron-General,
I’ve information paranormal, poltergeist, and spect-a-ral,
I know the kings of Gaming, and I quote the Bards historical
From Romeo to Juliet, in order categorical;
For my knowledge of poetry I deserve a medallion,
I understand the rhyming schemes: Shakespearean, Italian,
About the mortal life span, well, I'd say I've heard a lot o’ news -
With many ghastly facts that'd scare the hair right off of kangaroos!

ALL
With many ghastly facts that'd scare the hair right off of kangaroos!
With many ghastly facts that'd scare the hair right off of kangaroos!
With many ghastly facts that'd scare the hair right off of kanga-kangaroos!

BARON
I’m very fond of Hollywood and quite a fan of Banderas.
I do enjoy Astronomy; my favorite star is Romulus:
In short, in matters paranormal, poltergeist, and spect-a-ral,
I am the very phantom of a modern Baron-General.

ALL
In short, in matters paranormal, poltergeist, and spect-a-ral,
He is the very phantom of a modern Baron-General.

BARON
I enjoy mythic history, both Faerie Queen and Camelot’s.
I dislike loud acoustics, as I prefer silence for my thoughts!
I'm very fond of Grecian art pertaining to Odysseus,
I've even seen things that would give then take sight from Teiresias;
I gawked at David's nakedness and sobbed for dismal Sisyphus.
I've even had the chance to see the stones of the Acropolis!
I've sung a song of sixpence and I've laughed at almost every war
And most of all I've gone where no man's ever dared to go before!

ALL
And most of all he's gone where no man's ever dared to go before!
And most of all he's gone where no man's ever dared to go before!
And most of all he's gone where no man's ever dared to go befo-before!

BARON
That I can write a parody of musicals in wonderous form,
And sing them all in order without making it a horrid swarm:
In short, in matters paranormal, poltergeist, and spect-a-ral,
I am the very phantom of a modern Baron-General.

ALL
In short, in matters paranormal, poltergeist, and spect-a-ral,
He is the very phantom of a modern Baron-General.

BARON
I've flitted through the opera scene and plucked a note with Pamina,
her notes are high, her muscles tense, one really must have stamina!
I've watched parades like Macy's Day and cheered when Babe Ruth was at bat,
I even made Chuck Norris my own personalized Welcome Mat!
When I embroider my response and fill it with my punnery,
When I quote Shakespeare just to tell you "GET THEE TO A NUNNERY";
In short, whenever I begin to boast superiority,
You’ll say, "A better Baron-General? There isn't one to see."

ALL
We'll say "A better Baron-General? There isn't one to see."
We'll say "A better Baron-General? There isn't one to see."
We'll say "A better Baron-General? There isn't one to one to see."

BARON
I'm not a modest soul, in fact I'm smarmy and that pleases me,
I've more brute force than any ghost from Gotham penitentiary;
But still, in matters paranormal, poltergeist, and spect-a-ral,
I am the very phantom of a modern Baron-General.

ALL
But still, in matters paranormal, poltergeist, and spect-a-ral,
He is the very model of a modern Baron-General.
