| [00:03.73] | Thus all fairy stories end |
| [00:07.25] | Only an actress would pretend |
| [00:10.53] | Affairs of state are her latest play |
| [00:14.08] | Eight shows a week, two matinees |
| [00:17.90] | My, how the worm begins to turn |
| [00:21.91] | When will the chorus girl ever learn? |
| [00:25.85] | My, how the worm begins to turn |
| [00:29.74] | When will the chorus girl ever learn? |
| [00:35.18] | The chorus girl hasn't learned the lines you'd like to hear |
| [00:42.51] | She won't go scrambling over the backs of the poor to be accepted |
| [00:51.75] | By making donations just large enough to the correct charity |
| [01:01.30] | She won't be president of your wonderful societies of philanthropy |
| [01:11.10] | Even if you asked her to be |
| [01:15.08] | As you should have asked her to be |
| [01:20.40] | The actress hasn't learned the lines you'd like to hear |
| [01:27.15] | She won't join your clubs, she won't dance in your halls |
| [01:34.45] | She won't help the hungry once a month at your tombolas |
| [01:41.27] | She'll simply take control as you disappear |
| [01:48.65] | Forgive my intrusion, but fine as those sentiments sound |
| [01:55.58] | Little has changed for us peasants down here on the ground |
| [02:07.83] | I hate to seem childish, ungrateful |
| [02:12.01] | I don't like to moan |
| [02:15.05] | But do you now represent anyone's cause but your own? |
| [02:24.80] | Everything done will be justified by my foundation |
| [02:31.69] |
