《Glitter And Be Gay》歌词

[00:00:00] Barbara Cook - Glitter And Be Gay

[00:00:18] Glitter and be gay

[00:00:22] That's the part I play

[00:00:26] Here I am in paris france

[00:00:34] Forced to bend my soul

[00:00:38] To a sordid role

[00:00:43] Victimized by bitter

[00:00:47] Bitter circumstance

[00:00:50] Alas for me

[00:00:53] Had I remained

[00:00:55] Beside my lady mother

[00:00:57] My virtue had remained unstained

[00:01:03] Until my maiden hand was gained

[00:01:08] By some grand duke or other

[00:01:18] Ah 'twas not to be

[00:01:23] Harsh necessity

[00:01:27] Brought me to this gilded cage

[00:01:34] Born to higher things

[00:01:39] Here I droop my wings

[00:01:42] Ah singing of a sorrow nothing can assuage

[00:01:57] And yet of course I rather like to revel

[00:02:00] Ha ha

[00:02:00] I have no strong objection to champagne

[00:02:04] Ha ha

[00:02:04] My wardrobe is expensive as the devil

[00:02:07] Ha ha

[00:02:08] Perhaps it is ignoble to complain

[00:02:13] Enough enough

[00:02:15] Of being basely tearful

[00:02:18] I'll show my noble stuff

[00:02:21] By being bright and cheerful

[00:02:25] Ha ha ha ha

[00:02:27] Ha

[00:02:33] Ha

[00:02:40] Ha

[00:03:15] Pearls and ruby rings

[00:03:18] Ah how can worldly things

[00:03:21] Take the place of honor lost

[00:03:24] Can they compensate

[00:03:25] For my fallen state

[00:03:27] Purchased as they were at such

[00:03:29] At such an awful cost

[00:03:33] Braceletslavalieres

[00:03:36] Can they dry my tears

[00:03:39] Can they blind my eyes to shame

[00:03:43] Can the brightest brooch

[00:03:45] Shield me from reproach

[00:03:47] Can the purest diamond purify my name

[00:03:52] And yet of course these trinkets are endearing

[00:03:55] Ha ha

[00:03:56] I'm oh so glad my sapphire is a star

[00:03:59] Ha ha

[00:04:00] I rather like a twenty-carat earring

[00:04:03] Ha ha

[00:04:04] If I'm not pure at least my jewels are

[00:04:08] Enough enough

[00:04:10] I'll take their diamond necklace

[00:04:14] And show my noble stuff

[00:04:16] By being gay and reckless

[00:04:20] Ha ha ha ha

[00:04:23] Ha

[00:04:28] Ha

[00:04:36] Ha

[00:04:48] Observe how bravely I conceal

[00:04:51] The dreadful

[00:04:52] Dreadful shame I feel
