《Glitter And Be Gay》歌词

[00:00:11] Glitter and be gay

[00:00:23] That's the part I play

[00:00:23] Here I am in Paris France

[00:00:29] Forced to bend my soul

[00:00:38] To a sordid role

[00:00:39] Victimized by bitter bitter circumstance

[00:00:50] Alas for me had I remained beside my lady mother

[00:00:53] My virtue had remained unstained

[00:00:58] Until my maiden hand was gained by some grand duke

[00:01:05] Or other

[00:01:13] Ah 'twas not to be

[00:01:17] Harsh necessity

[00:01:18] Brought me to this gilded cage

[00:01:30] Born to higher things

[00:01:35] Here I droop my wings

[00:01:40] Singing of a sorrow

[00:01:45] Nothing can assuage

[00:01:50] And yet of course I rather like to revel ha ha

[00:01:54] I have no strong objection to champagne ha ha

[00:01:58] My wardrobe is expensive as the devil ha ha

[00:02:02] Perhaps it is ignoble to complain

[00:02:06] Enough enough

[00:02:08] Of being basely tearful

[00:02:11] I'll show my noble stuff

[00:02:14] By being bright and cheerful

[00:02:57] Ha Ha Ha

[00:03:05] Pearls and ruby rings

[00:03:09] Ah how can worldly things take the place of honor lost

[00:03:17] Purchased as they were at such an awful cost

[00:03:22] Bracelets lavalieres can they dry my tears

[00:03:28] Can they blind my eyes from shame

[00:03:31] Can the brightest broach shield me from reproach

[00:03:34] Can the purest diamond purify my name

[00:03:40] And yet of course these trinkets are endearing ha ha

[00:03:43] I'm oh so glad my sapphire is a star ha ha

[00:03:49] I rather like a 20 carat earring ha ha

[00:03:51] If I'm not pure at least my jewels are

[00:03:57] Enough enough I'll take that diamond necklace

[00:04:02] And show my noble stuff

[00:04:38] By being gay and reckless

[00:04:42] Ha Ha Ha
