Of Montreal An Introduction For Isabell lyrics

I'd like to introduce you now to Isabell Lam
Present owner of the Edward Lam Wax Museum
Daughter of the comedic duo Dorothy and Edward
Do you remember them?

They accomplished mild success
On the stages of the Vaudeville theaters
In Blackpool and in London
That was before the advent of Hollywood

When Vaudeville died
And people stopped going to see them
So they took out a loan and built a big wax museum
Inside of an old abandoned Vaudeville theater

It was about this time
That Dorothy gave birth to their only child
And named her Isabell

And from that day

They were so happy and gay, Momma, Papa
And their sweet and thoughtful treasured
Fair haired angel baby girl

Eventually a half a century passes
We see Edward in a wheelchair
Dorothy in granny glasses
And Isabell, the proud proprietor of the wax museum
Wax Museum

Isabell, would you like to tell about
The bell hidden inside your name?
Does it ring every time someone calls out Isabell?
Do you hear it when you run?
If it broke they'd yell out 'Isa' instead of Isabell
Until you fixed your bell
