The Actress Hasn't Learned The Lines (You'd Like To Hear) |
| Thus all fairy stories end |
| Only an actress would pretend |
| Affairs of state are her latest play |
| Eight shows a week, two matinees |
| My how the worm begins to turn |
| When will the chorus girl ever learn? |
| My how the worm begins to turn |
| When will the chorus girl ever learn? |
| (eva:) |
| The chorus girl hasnt learned the lines youd like to hear |
| She wont go scrambling over the backs of the poor to be accepted |
| By making donations just large enough to the correct charity |
| She wont be president of your wonderful societies of philanthropy |
| Even if you asked her to be As you should have asked her to be The actress hasnt learned the lines youd like to hear |
| She wont join your clubs, she wont dance in your halls |
| She wont help the hungry once a month at your tombolas |
| Shell simply take control as you disappear |
| (che:) |
| Forgive my intrusion, but fine as those sentiments sound |
| Little has changed for us peasants down here on the ground |
| I hate to sound childish, ungrateful, I dont like to moan |
| But do you now represent anyones cause but your own? |
| (eva:) |
| Everything done will be justified by my foundation |
