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! |
