lyrics

There was a man
His name was Quasi-
Quasimodo was his name
He was as wide as he was tall
And very strong and very ugly

Quasimodo loved Esmerelda
Who loved Phoebus the sun
And Phoebus was to marry Fleurs de Lis
But Phoebus just loved himself

Quasimodo from the belfry
Watched as time eroded
Too many hearts wounded and open
And pumping madly into the ground

He lay beside and wrapped his arms
Around her cold and lifeless body
He dared not sleep
Would not let go
Until his bones crumbled to dust

He cried, “Give us room to breathe so time may
Give us time to think so we may pass.”
