Things Are Not What They Appear

Things Are Not What They Appear is the villian song of Radcliffe in the 1998 release-to-video film, Pocahontas: Journey to the New World.

Lyrics
Jester 1: Things are not what they appear As tonight will make quite clear But what is real will be revealed I can feel the moment's near

Jester 2: Things are never what they seem That will be this evening's theme A music sights for your delight perhaps a few to make you scream

Ratcliffe: You'll be surprised to see whose disguise Is the cleverest one of the lot After our show the whole world will know Who's is pretending to be what they're not If a jester's grin or a dancer's spin Should be pleasing, please say "Yay"!

Crowd: Yay!

Ratcliffe: If a jugglers feat should be incomplete He's the one to greet with "Nay"!

Crowd: Nay!

Ratcliffe: If the fools we see should look like you and me Then before the night goes by Ask why, why, why, why, why, Why?

Jester 1: Things are not what they appear And the finest proof's right here

Radcliffe: How I regret when we first meet I believed my own worst fear

Jester 2: Things are never what they seem So in keeping with our theme

Ratcliffe: A change of hair, a dress to wear And our nightmare's now a dream Clueless and wild I saw this sweet child As a danger to one and to all Savage, I thought What could Rolfe have brought? Now I see she's the belle of the ball Things are never what they seem

Crowd: He's right, he's right!

Ratcliffe: Many don't say what they mean

Crowd: He's right, he's right!

Jester 1: A powdered face is just the place

Jester 2: To hide an ugly scheme

Ratcliffe: Only one thing's really clear Things are not what they appear!
