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] |
