《I Took My Harp To A Party》歌词

[00:00:00] I Took My Harp To A Party - Gracie Fields

[00:00:07] Christmas is coming Christmas is coming

[00:00:09] Christmas is coming again

[00:00:12] But that never thrills me

[00:00:15] The thought of it chills me

[00:00:17] I tell you it fills me with pain

[00:00:20] It makes me remember a Christmas gone by

[00:00:23] When I was extremely upset

[00:00:26] A night in December an evening that I

[00:00:30] Would very much rather forget

[00:00:34] For I took me harp to a party

[00:00:37] But nobody asked me to play

[00:00:41] The others were jolly and earty

[00:00:45] But I wasn't feeling so gay

[00:00:49] They might have said play us a tune we can sing

[00:00:54] But somehow I don't think they noticed the thing

[00:00:57] I took me harp to a party

[00:00:59] But nobody asked me to play

[00:01:04] So I took the darned thing away

[00:01:08] They asked Mrs Morgan to play her mouth-organ

[00:01:14] And somebody else did a dance

[00:01:16] They let Mrs Carter perform a sonata

[00:01:20] But I wasn't given a chance

[00:01:23] A north country person called Sandy McPherson

[00:01:27] Played bagpipes and took off his coat

[00:01:31] While both the Miss Fawcetts bust

[00:01:34] Out of their corsets

[00:01:36] In trying to take a top note

[00:01:39] But I took me harp to a party

[00:01:44] Nobody asked me to play

[00:01:47] The others were jolly and earty

[00:01:51] But I wasn't feeling so gay

[00:01:56] I felt so ashamed at not striking a note

[00:01:59] That I tried to hide the thing under me coat

[00:02:03] I took me harp to a party

[00:02:07] But nobody asked me to play

[00:02:11] So I took the darned thing away

[00:02:15] They sang home sweet home

[00:02:20] And The Banks of loch lomond

[00:02:23] And All the king's horses then trees

[00:02:25] While nephews and nieces kept playing their pieces

[00:02:28] And spreading their jam on the keys

[00:02:31] A daughter called Lena played her concertina

[00:02:35] We all played ridiculous games

[00:02:39] Til old Mr Dyer set his whiskers on fire

[00:02:43] And a fire engine played on the flames

[00:02:47] But I took me harp to a party

[00:02:51] But nobody asked me to play

[00:02:54] So I took the darned thing away
