The minstrel in the gallery Looked down upon the smiling faces He met the gazes observed the spaces In between the old men's cackle And he brewed a song of love and hatred Oblique suggestions and he waited He polarized the pumpkin-eaters Static-humming panel-beaters The minstrel in the gallery Looked down on the rabbit-run And threw away his looking-glass Saw his face in everyone Hey, he titillated the men-of-action Belly warming, hands still rubbing On the parts that they never mention Salaried and collar-scrubbing He pacified the nappy-suffering, infant-bleating, one-line jokers T.V. documentary makers, overfed and undertakers Sunday paper backgammon players Family-scarred and women-haters Then he called the band down to the stage And he looked at all the friends he'd made The minstrel in the gallery I looked down on the rabbit-run And threw away his looking-glass And saw his face in everyone Hey The minstrel in the gallery Looked down upon the smiling faces Met the gazes
