Lyrics Marvellous Party - Beverley Knight

Marvellous Party

I went to a marvellous party
With noonoo, and nada, and nell
It was in the fresh air,
And we went as we were,
And we stayed as we were,
(which was hell)
Grace started singing at midnight,
And she didn’t stop singing 'til four
We knew the excitement was bound to begin
When laura got blind on dubonnet and gin
And scratched her veneer with a cartier pin!
I couldn’t have liked it more!
(More!)
I went to a marvellous party
I went to a marvellous party
I went to a marvellous party
I couldn’t have liked it more!
I went to a marvellous party
I went to a marvellous party
When laura got blind on dubonnet and gin
I couldn’t have liked it more!
I’ve been to a marvellous party
We played a wonderful game:
Maureen disappeared
And came back in a beard,
And we all had to guess at her name…
Cecil arrived wearing armour,
Some shells and a black feather boa
Millicent wore a surrealist comb
Made of bits of mosaic from st.
peter’s in rome,
But the weight was so great that she had to go home!
And i couldn’t have liked it more!
I went to a marvellous party
I went to a marvellous party
I went to a marvellous party
I couldn’t have liked it more!
I went to a marvellous party
I went to a marvellous party
But the weight was so great that she had to go home!
I couldn’t have liked it more!
I’ve been to a marvellous party
I must say the fun was intense;
We all had to do
What the people we knew
Might be doing a hundred years hence…
We talked about growing old gracefully,
And elsie who’s seventy-four
Said, «a) it’s a question of being sincere,
And b) if you’re supple you’ve got nothing to fear»
Then she swung upside-down from a chandelier!
And i couldn’t have liked it more!
I went to a marvellous party
I went to a marvellous party
I went to a marvellous party
I couldn’t have liked it more!
I went to a marvellous party
I went to a marvellous party
a) it’s a question of being sincere,
b) if you’re supple you’ve got nothing to fear
Then she swung upside-down from a chandelier!
I couldn’t have liked it more!
