《My Mother Doesn’t Know I’m on the Stage》歌词

[00:00:00] My Mother Doesn't Know I'm on the Stage - Jetsam

[00:00:15] I'm cherishing a secret in my bosom

[00:00:18] About the dreadful stage-life that I lead

[00:00:22] I've heard it said that Pro's are decent people

[00:00:26] But according to the papers that I read

[00:00:30] Both actresses and actors are dead 'wrong uns'

[00:00:34] Whether from the 'Palace' or the 'Hippodrome'

[00:00:38] The chaps I meet outside know I'm an actor

[00:00:42] But I never breathe a word of it at home

[00:00:47] So my mother doesn't know I'm on a stage

[00:00:51] It would break her poor old heart if she found out

[00:00:56] She knows I'm a deserter

[00:00:57] From the Scottish Fuseliers

[00:01:00] She knows I stole a blind-man's can

[00:01:03] That got me seven years

[00:01:05] She knows I've been connected

[00:01:07] With a gang of West-End Pests

[00:01:10] And the police have had me twice inside the cage

[00:01:15] And she knows I mix with ladies that have got a shady past

[00:01:20] But my mother doesn't know I'm on the stage

[00:01:25] Sometimes she sees the powder on my clothing

[00:01:29] And then it's such a nuisance to explain

[00:01:34] If she thought that it was powder she'd go crazy

[00:01:38] Of course I have to tell her it's coc*ine

[00:01:42] The day she met me out with Gladys Cooper

[00:01:46] She started screaming "Murder " and "Police "

[00:01:51] And would have caused a dreadful scene in public

[00:01:55] So I told her that the girl was 'Crippen's' niece

[00:01:59] 'Cos' my mother doesn't know I'm on the stage

[00:02:04] And when I draw six hundred pounds each week

[00:02:09] If she knew where it came from

[00:02:11] She would shoot me like a dog

[00:02:14] So I said I'd stole the moneybox

[00:02:17] From an Irish Synagogue

[00:02:19] She can think that I'm a murderer

[00:02:22] Before she'll know the truth

[00:02:25] I have to have respect for her old age

[00:02:29] And she knows that I'm a bigamist a blaggard and a crook

[00:02:35] But thank Heaven she don't know I'm on the stage
