Adele's Laughing Song (From 'Die Fiedermaus' - Johann Strauss)

My dear Marquis
It seems to me
You should display more tact
Where a lady goes
What a lady shows
Is how she proves the fact
My taste is to fine and too chic
Ah ha ha ha ha
My waist has a line so unique
Ah ha ha ha ha
My walk is so dramatic
My talk aristocratic
What chamber maid you know could have so much to show (2)
Instead of putting on such airs
Why don’t you mind your own affairs?
It’s too funny
Ah ha ha
Please excuse me
Ah ha ha
I can’t help it
Ah ha ha
You amuse me
Ah ha ha ha ha ha
You’re funny as you can be Marquis
Just look at me
And you will see
There’s more than meets the eye
Where a lady’s been
Where a lady’s seen
Are proofs that never lie
Would I be at home in this room
Ah ha ha ha ha
If I were at home with a broom?
Ah ha ha ha ha
The way I lift an eyebrow
Is typically high-brow
What chamber maid you know could have so much to show (2)
I think you must admit Marquis
You owe me an apology
It’s too funny… etc.
