《I Took My Harp To A Party》歌词

[00:00:00] I Took My Harp To A Party - Gracie Fields

[00:00:04] Christmas is coming Christmas is coming

[00:00:08] Christmas is coming again

[00:00:11] But that never thrills me

[00:00:13] The thought of it chills me

[00:00:15] I tell you it fills me with pain

[00:00:19] It makes me remember a Christmas gone by

[00:00:22] When I was extremely upset

[00:00:26] A night in December an evening that I

[00:00:29] Would very much rather forget

[00:00:34] For I took me harp to a party

[00:00:38] But nobody asked me to play

[00:00:41] The others were jolly and earty

[00:00:45] But I wasn't feeling so gay

[00:00:49] They might have said play us a tune we can sing

[00:00:52] But somehow I don't think they noticed the thing

[00:00:56] I took me harp to a party

[00:01:00] But nobody asked me to play

[00:01:04] So I took the darned thing away

[00:01:09] They asked Mrs Morgan to play her mouth-organ

[00:01:13] And somebody else did a dance

[00:01:17] They let Mrs Carter perform a sonata

[00:01:21] But I wasn't given a chance

[00:01:24] A north country person called Sandy McPherson

[00:01:28] Played bagpipes and took off his coat

[00:01:32] While both the Miss Fawcetts bust

[00:01:34] Out of their corsets

[00:01:36] In trying to take a top note

[00:01:41] But I took me harp to a party

[00:01:45] Nobody asked me to play

[00:01:49] The others were jolly and earty

[00:01:53] But I wasn't feeling so gay

[00:01:57] I felt so ashamed at not striking a note

[00:02:00] That I tried to hide the thing under me coat

[00:02:04] I took me harp to a party

[00:02:08] But nobody asked me to play

[00:02:12] So I took the darned thing away

[00:02:17] They sang home sweet home

[00:02:19] And The Banks of loch lomond

[00:02:21] And All the king's horses then trees

[00:02:25] While nephews and nieces kept playing their pieces

[00:02:29] And spreading their jam on the keys

[00:02:33] A daughter called Lena played her concertina

[00:02:36] We all played ridiculous games

[00:02:41] Til old Mr Dyer set his whiskers on fire

[00:02:45] And a fire engine played on the flames

[00:02:49] But I took me harp to a party

[00:02:53] But nobody asked me to play

[00:02:56] So I took the darned thing away
