《One of Those Old-Fashioned Ladies》歌词

[00:00:00] She Fought Like A Tiger For 'er 'onour - Gracie Fields

[00:00:10] My auntie Flo is sixty or so

[00:00:14] She always says she's old-fashioned and slow

[00:00:17] She's never been married

[00:00:18] You'll hear her exclaim

[00:00:20] But she's covered some grass

[00:00:21] In her time all the same

[00:00:23] 'Cause she's one of those old-fashioned ladies

[00:00:27] With funny old-fashioned ideas

[00:00:30] Men of today are unmanly she'll say

[00:00:33] And they don't seem to love in the old-fashioned way

[00:00:37] She says she has dreams of a lover sublime

[00:00:40] He comes in her sleep like a nursery rhyme

[00:00:43] So she stays in her bed for three weeks at a time

[00:00:47] 'Cause she's one of those old-fashioned ladies

[00:00:51] Cocktails and spirits she never permits

[00:00:54] But last Christmas party she had us in fits

[00:00:58] She drank two small ports and then did the split

[00:01:01] 'Cause she's one of those old-fashioned ladies

[00:01:05] Auntie will say: girls of today

[00:01:08] Speak in the naughtiest blush-making way

[00:01:11] But tell her a story you think is new

[00:01:14] And she'll say "I heard that one before I was two "

[00:01:17] 'Cause she's one of those old-fashioned ladies

[00:01:21] With funny old-fashioned ideas

[00:01:25] Children today are all spoiled she will say

[00:01:28] How different from good Queen Victoria's day

[00:01:32] Singing she says is an art that is dead

[00:01:35] And crooners well they simply make her see red

[00:01:38] But she's twenty-seven portraits of Bing round her bed

[00:01:41] 'Cause she's one of those old-fashioned ladies

[00:01:45] She's one of those old-fashioned ladies

[00:01:49] With funny old-fashioned ideas

[00:01:52] Girls say such things you will hear Auntie tell

[00:01:55] And this slang from America's really well well

[00:01:59] "Gosh" and "oh gee" sound so common she'll say

[00:02:03] The worst of the lot is that dreadful "OK "

[00:02:06] But I heard her call someone a "twerp" yesterday

[00:02:09] 'Cause she's one of those old-fashioned ladies

[00:02:13] She says that the talkies with sickness weak

[00:02:16] Not fit for a lady to see or to speak

[00:02:20] And she ought to know she goes five times a week

[00:02:23] 'Cause she's one of those old-fashioned ladies

[00:02:26] She's one of those old-fashioned ladies

[00:02:30] With funny old-fashioned ideas

[00:02:34] Husbands today are so rare she will say

[00:02:36] So she just jogs along in her spinsterly way

[00:02:40] It seems such a pity she never was wed

[00:02:43] But she has a cat and a parrot instead

[00:02:47] And a hot-water bottle she always calls "Fred"

[00:02:52] 'Cause she's one of those old-fashioned ladies
