Monsieur R. Monde Lyrics - Procol Harum

The bell on my door rang this morning 

From the kitchen I called "Who's that there?" 

Through the letter box came a grappling hook 

Which grappled me right out of my chair! 

Stretched out on the floor I lay helpless 

Of my limbs I had lost all command 

When into my ear instilling fear 

Said a voice "I am Monsieur R. Monde" 

"Monsieur R. Monde you are not! 

That's an incredible thing to say 

For I personally attended his funeral 

which was twelve months to this very day!" 

A rat flew down from the ceiling 

Alighted upon my right ear 

said "If Monsieur R. Monde is safe under the sod 

Then why are you shaking with fear!"

"My name is not Scrooge" I said faintly 

"and from ghosts I have nothing to fear! 

But if you are R. Monde returned from the dead 

Then what are you wanting here?" 

From nowhere I heard a mad cackle 

From nowhere a voice to me cried 

"Stop calling me Monsieur R. Monde you fool! 

My name's Jekyll and you're Mr. Hyde!"
