《Imagine The Dutchess’s Feelings》歌词

[00:00:00] Imagine the Duchess's Feelings - Noel Coward and Orchestra

[00:00:15] The duchess had manner for dignity lurks

[00:00:18] In the shadows of Debret

[00:00:20] But fate threw a spanner smack into the works

[00:00:23] Tarnishing her coronet

[00:00:26] Three large sons were born to her

[00:00:29] But one sad morn to her

[00:00:30] There came a premonition of regret

[00:00:33] Said the duchess Well

[00:00:36] Something doesn't gel

[00:00:38] Said the duchess Well

[00:00:41] Hell

[00:00:42] Imagine the duchess's feelings

[00:00:44] On having hatched out her brood

[00:00:47] To find her first son was weak though well-mannered Her second rather stupid

[00:00:51] And the third plain rude

[00:00:53] Her eldest son when in trouble went white

[00:00:55] Her second son looked blue and hung his head

[00:00:58] But imagine the duchess's feelings

[00:01:01] When her youngest son went red

[00:01:08] She sent them to Etton traditional youth

[00:01:11] Was theirs whatever else they've got

[00:01:14] But nothing could sweeten the bitterest truth

[00:01:17] That baby wasn't quite so hot

[00:01:20] High life gave no joy to him

[00:01:22] The hoi polloi to him

[00:01:24] Provided something that his peers did not

[00:01:27] Said her grace aghast

[00:01:30] Is it going to last

[00:01:33] Said her grace aghast

[00:01:35] Blast

[00:01:36] Imagine the Duchess's feelings

[00:01:39] You could have pierced her with swords

[00:01:41] When she discovered her youngest liked Lenin

[00:01:45] And sold the Daily Worker near the House of Lords

[00:01:47] Her eldest son went to Boodle's and White's

[00:01:50] Her second joined the blues his father led

[00:01:53] But imagine the Duchess's feelings

[00:01:56] When her youngest son went Red

[00:01:58] Imagine the duchess's feelings

[00:02:01] Her overwhelming despair

[00:02:03] To find her third son hobnobbed with the butler

[00:02:06] And sang The Internationale in Belgrave square

[00:02:09] Her first son's debts bled the family white

[00:02:12] Her second son blu'd everything and fled

[00:02:14] But imagine the Duchess's feelings

[00:02:18] When the apple of the eye went Red

[00:02:20] Poor mammy

[00:02:21] Her youngest son went red
