She drinks Moet and Chandon
In her pretty cabinet
Let them eat cake she says
Just like Marie Antoinette
The imperial jointress of our warlike state (the lass, the Fat Lady, Venus) is refined and imperious; she is supercilious and condescending as befits the most high handed; arbitrary and forbidding she has the exquisite taste of the connoisseur, that is she is caviar to the millions.
Khrushchev and Kennedy
You’ll never find a remedy
A failed humanity will always be on the brink of annihilating itself (“if we explode the atom bomb will they say that we are dumb?”). There is no political solution the recalcitrance of mankind.
It’s guaranteed to blow your mind
With one breath she accomplishes this feat.
To avoid complications
She never keeps the same address
She is dispersed over space (here, there, and everywhere, hic et ubique). She never gives one her number, she only gives one her situations (the lady of situations, Eliot)
Caviar and cigarettes
In conversation she speaks
Just like a baroness
Well versed in etiquette
Playful as a pussycat
Fastidious and precise
Extraordinary nice
The epitome of class and loveliness, she is an aristocrat of the soul, a patrician and Roman Matron who will have nothing to do with the rabble of the canaille; only the best suits her. The epitome of style and grace she is the godlike figure, the soul with the wings of a butterfly. Sly, playful and precise, with the mirth of a surgeon.
Momentarily out of action
Temporarily out gas
Drop of a hat
Here she is again
Ready for the main event
You all know she’s heaven sent
Seemingly not real in a trice she appears, she is when the other shoe drops. At the event at the end of time she will top the bill with her will.
She's a Killer Queen
Gunfire and turpentine
Dynamite and laser beam
To absolutely drive you wild!
Recommended at the price
You want to try?
Then again incidentally
She's out to get you
It’s an invitation you can’t decline
It is a command and will be a command performance when the castle in the corner works in concert with our dominating Queen. It’s Twelve O’clock at midnight so listen to us good. The Prima Donna Lord will always be there.
Any questions?
Drop of a hat!

Moët & Chandon also known simply as Moët, is a French fine winery and part of the luxury goods company LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton SE. Moët et Chandon is one of the world's largest champagne producers and a prominent champagne house. Moët et Chandon was established in 1743 by Claude Moët, and today owns 1,190 hectares (2,900 acres) of vineyards, and annually produces approximately 28,000,000 bottles of champagne. Moët et Chandon began as Moët et Cie (meaning "Moët & Co."), established by Épernay wine trader Claude Moët in 1743, and began shipping his wine from Champagne to Paris. The reign of King Louis XV coincided with increased demand for sparkling wine. Soon after its foundation, and after son Claude-Louis joined Moët et Cie, the winery's clientele included nobles and aristocrats.
In her song Muñecas, Argentinian singer Tini Stoessel sings bottles are uncorked, tonight there will be rain of Moët.
It will be a night at the opera, a night to remember.
Her Majesty is a pretty nice girl
But she doesn't have a lot to say
Her Majesty is a pretty nice girl
But she changes from day to day
I want to tell her that I love her a lot
But I need to get myself full of wine
Her Majesty is a pretty nice girl
Someday I will make her mine
