《The Hostess with the Mostes’ on the Ball》歌词

[00:00:00] The Hostess With The Mostes' On The Ball - Dinah Shore (黛娜岸)/Chorus

[00:00:00] I was born on a thousand acres of Oklahoma land

[00:00:06] Nothing grew on the thousand acres for it was gravel and sand

[00:00:13] One day father started digging in a field hoping to find some soil

[00:00:19] He dug and he dug and what do you think

[00:00:23] Oil oil oil

[00:00:28] The money rolled in and I rolled out

[00:00:30] With a fortune piled so high

[00:00:34] Washington was my destination

[00:00:38] And now who am I

[00:00:45] I'm the chosen party giver

[00:00:47] For the White House clientele

[00:00:50] And they know that I deliver

[00:00:53] What it takes to make 'em gel

[00:00:56] And in Washington I'm known by one and all

[00:01:02] As the hostess with the mostest on the ball

[00:01:08] They would go to Elsa Maxwell

[00:01:10] When they had an axe to grind

[00:01:13] They could always grind their axe well

[00:01:16] At the parties she designed

[00:01:19] But the hatchet grinders all prefer to call

[00:01:25] On the hostess with the mostest on the ball

[00:01:30] I've a great big bar and good caviar

[00:01:33] Yes the best that can be found

[00:01:36] And a large amount in my bank account

[00:01:39] When election time comes round

[00:01:42] If you're got so presidential

[00:01:45] You can make it yes indeed

[00:01:47] There are just three things essential

[00:01:50] Let me tell you what you need

[00:01:53] Is an ounce of wisdom and a pound of gall

[00:01:59] And the hostess with the mostest on the ball

[00:02:05] Entertaining vodka drinkers

[00:02:07] Is a job they give to me

[00:02:11] Making nice guys out of stinkers

[00:02:13] Seems to be my cup of tea

[00:02:16] What they really need behind the iron wall

[00:02:22] Is the hostess with the mostest on the ball

[00:02:28] There's a book of regulations

[00:02:30] As to who sits next to who

[00:02:33] But there might be complications

[00:02:36] When the blue blood's not so blue

[00:02:39] So the priestess with the leastest protocol

[00:02:45] Is the hostess with the mostest on the ball

[00:02:50] An ambassador has just reached the shore

[00:02:53] He's a man of many loves

[00:02:56] An important gent from the Orient

[00:02:59] To be handled with kid gloves

[00:03:02] He can come and let his hair down

[00:03:04] Have the best time of his life

[00:03:07] Even bring his new affair down

[00:03:10] Introduce her as his wife

[00:03:13] But she mustn't leave her panties in the hall

[00:03:19] By the hostess who's the mostest

[00:03:21] With the mostest on the ball
