I'm peacefool (but I'm boring)

about

«Dear intrusive diary, last night I had another dream one month right after the latest signal.
I was sitting in a depraved boozer, or perhaps was it a Cabaret? Anyway, I was sitting in this gloomy place surrounded by rubbernecks and their respective smell. We were all facing at a small stage and we could hear that something was fidgeting behind.
Suddenly it went dark but I could nearly see the curtain unveiling the stage.
Finally a spotlight lightened a cocktail glass. A glossy glove came in and raised the glass to two gigantic lips caked in a black lipstick. The light widened and uncovered a tall and scrawny silhouette stood up next to an old upright piano.
The singer started singing.
Her name was Stylish Freddy, I say her although I think it rather was a "he". Regardless his gender, he or she pretended to be German but I'm afraid both his English and his German were quite obscure to my knowledge.
Dear intrusive diary, I must confess that despite my first impression what happened afterwards has surpassed my expectations. Here is what I've managed to decipher from this dream. »
November 5, 1924 ~ E. Phœte

lyrics

Music & Lyrics: Phœte
Voice: Stylish Freddy

I stray during one night
Across a livin' light
And see


I'm peacefool
but I'm boring
I'm peacefool
and it's cool

I'm peacefool
and I'm woring
I'm peacefool
but it's true


(Speaking)
You know, I was a man for a long years
But life was so tired
So I tried to change

(Singing again)
But a fool, is not a fool right here
And I've been so glad to hear
Life!


I'm peacefool
but I'm boring
I'm peacefool
and it's cool

I'm peacefool
and I'm woring
I'm peacefool
but it's true


(unintelligible German)

But it's...
true!
