about

Paris 1889. Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, the famous painter, wants to visit the newly opened Moulin Rouge club.

lyrics

I may be petit but there are benefits to being small
Being nearer to the gutter I have less far to fall at the end of the night
And this disaster of my stature is no hindrance at all
Because to cast a vast shadow you don't have to be that tall

Because it's not about your size
It's how they remember you
Don't let it get you all that upset whoever forgets you
Me, I'm a giant in the art world and girls want to see
So they queue up for a ticket whenever I exhibit my piece

You needn't be massive, nor attractive and that's fine
You can be passive and quite flaccid 'cos of wine
But you're colossal in the brothel when you're paying for their time
But your impotence and importance are forgotten when the next one arrives

Said it's not about your size
It's how they'll remember you
Maybe you'll find me a little bit tiny but I can be huge too
I'm a giant in the art world and girls will swoon over my sketches
And they'll queue up for a ticket whenever I exhibit my etchings
They'll queue up for a ticket whenever I exhibit my etchings
