All those great persons and geniusesWho used to turn the wheel of historyBecame wax figuresIn the gallery of Madam TussotThey all stand still in silenceTheir faces are coloured with paintBut their souls are in utmost despairAnd their heads are supported by spokesPresidents and brilliant actors Those who used to be famousOmnipotent and powerful Turned into speechless dollsAll the epochs and countries are mixed thereAll the tyrants and fighters for freedom Now they all stand like statuesJust to amuse peopleThey never feel sadness or anguishThey have no dreams of the futureBut once taken outside and left in the sunThey would melt very quicklyAll those great persons and geniusesWho used to turn the wheel of historyBecame wax figures...And so did Madam Tussot!
