[00:00:00] The Hostess With The Mostest On The Ball - Call Me Madam - Ethel Merman (艾索尔·摩曼)

[00:00:07] I was born on a thousand acres of Oklahoma land

[00:00:12] Nothing grew on the thousand acres

[00:00:14] For it was gravel and sand

[00:00:18] One day father started digging in a field

[00:00:21] Hoping to find some soil

[00:00:23] He dug and he dug and what do you think

[00:00:27] Oil oil oil

[00:00:31] The money rolled in and I rolled out

[00:00:34] With a fortune piled so high

[00:00:37] Washington was my destination

[00:00:40] And now who am I

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

[00:00:48] For the White House clientele

[00:00:51] And they know that I deliver

[00:00:54] What it takes to make them jell

[00:00:57] And in Washington

[00:00:58] I'm known by one and all

[00:01:02] As the hostess

[00:01:03] With the mostest on the ball

[00:01:08] They could 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

[00:01:18] Now the hatchet grinders all prefer to call

[00:01:24] On the hostess with the mostest on the ball

[00:01:29] I've a great big bar and good caviar

[00:01:32] Yes the best that can be found

[00:01:35] And a large amount in my bank account

[00:01:37] When election time comes around

[00:01:40] If you're feeling presidential

[00:01:43] You can make it yes indeed

[00:01:45] There are just three things essential

[00:01:48] Let me tell you all you need

[00:01:51] Is an ounce of wisdom and a pound of gall

[00:01:56] And the hostess with the mostest on the ball

[00:02:02] Entertaining vodka drinkers

[00:02:05] Is a job they give to me

[00:02:07] Making nice guys out of stinkers

[00:02:10] Seems to be my cup of tea

[00:02:12] What they really need behind the iron wall

[00:02:18] Is the hostess with the mostest on the ball

[00:02:23] There's a book of regulations

[00:02:26] As to who sits next to who

[00:02:28] But there might be complications

[00:02:31] When the blue blood's not so blue

[00:02:34] So the priestess with the leastes protocol

[00:02:39] Is the hostess with the mostest on the ball

[00:02:44] An Ambassador has just reached the shore

[00:02:47] He's a man of many loves

[00:02:50] An important gent from the Orient

[00:02:52] To be handled with kid gloves

[00:02:55] He can come and let his hair down

[00:02:57] Have the best time of his life

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

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

[00:03:05] But she mustn't leave her panties in the hall

[00:03:11] Of the priestess with the leastest

[00:03:13] Nor the hostess with the mostest

[00:03:16] With the mostest on the ball
