The Glamorous Life

Ordinary mothers lead ordinary lives
Keep the house and sweep the parlor
Cook the meals and look exhausted
Ordinary mothers, like ordinary wives
Fry the eggs and dry the sheets
And try to deal with facts
Mine acts!
Darling, I miss you a lot
But, darling, this has to be short
As mother is getting a plaque
From the Halsingborg Arts Council Amateur Theatre Group
Whether it’s funny or not
I’ll give you a fuller report
The minute they carry me back
From the Halsingborg Arts Council Amateur Theatre Group
Love you
Unpack the luggage, la la la
Pack up the luggage, la la la
Unpack the luggage, la la la
Hi-ho, the glamorous life!
Ice in the basin, la la la
Cracks in the plaster, la la la
Mice in the hallway, la la la
Hi-ho, the glamorous life!
Run for the carriage, la la la
Wolf down the sandwich, la la la
Which town is this one, la la la
Hi-ho, the glamorous life!
Ordinary daughters ameliorate their lot
Use their charms and choose their futures
Breed their children, heed their mothers
Ordinary daughters, which mine, I fear, is not
Tend each asset, spend it wisely
While it still endure
Mine tours!
Mother, forgive the delay
My schedule is driving me wild
But, mother, I really must run
I’m performing in Rottwig, and don’t ask «where is it,»
Please
How are you feeling today?
And are you corrupting the child?
Don’t
Mother, the minute I’m done
With performing in Rottwig, I’ll come for a visit
And argue
Mayors with speeches, la la la
Children with posies, la la la
Half-empty houses, la la la
Hi-ho, the glamorous life!
Cultural lunches
La la la
Dead floral tributes
La la la
Ancient admirers
La la la
Hi-ho, the glamorous life
Pack up the luggage, la la la
Unpack the luggage, la la la
Mother’s surviving, la la la
Leading the glamorous life
Cracks in the plaster, la la la
Youngish admirers, la la la
Which one was that one, la la la
Hi-ho, the glamorous life
Bring up the curtain, la la la
Bring down the curtain, la la la
Bring up the curtain, la la la
Hi-ho, the glamorous
Life!
