《The Hostess With the Mostes’ on the Ball》歌词

[00:00:00] The Hostess With the Mostes' on the Ball - Ethel Merman (艾索尔·摩曼)/Bill Currie

[00:00:05] I was born on a thousand acres of Oklahoma land

[00:00:11] Nothing grew on the thousand acres

[00:00:13] For it was gravel and sand

[00:00:16] One day father started digging in a field

[00:00:19] Hoping to find some soil

[00:00:22] He dug and he dug and what do you think

[00:00:26] Oil oil oil

[00:00:30] The money rolled in and I rolled out

[00:00:32] With a fortune piled so high

[00:00:36] Washington was my destination

[00:00:39] And now who am I

[00:00:44] I'm the chosen party giver

[00:00:47] For the White House clientele

[00:00:50] And they know that I deliver

[00:00:53] What it takes to make them jell

[00:00:55] And in Washington

[00:00:57] I'm known by one and all

[00:01:01] As the hostess

[00:01:02] With the mostest on the ball

[00:01:07] They could go to Elsa Maxwell

[00:01:09] When they had an axe to grind

[00:01:12] They could always grind their axe well

[00:01:15] At the parties she designed

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

[00:01:23] On the hostess with the mostest on the ball

[00:01:28] I've a great big bar and good caviar

[00:01:31] Yes the best that can be found

[00:01:34] And a large amount in my bank account

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

[00:01:39] If you're feeling presidential

[00:01:42] 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

[00:01:50] Is an ounce of wisdom and a pound of gall

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

[00:02:01] Entertaining vodka drinkers

[00:02:04] Is a job they give to me

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

[00:02:09] Seems to be my cup of tea

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

[00:02:17] Is the hostess with the mostest on the ball

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

[00:02:25] 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

[00:02:33] 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

[00:02:49] 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
