[00:19.624]Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn!
[00:24.376]I've grown accustomed to her face
[00:31.129]She almost makes the day begin
[00:33.880]I've grown accustomed to the tune that
[00:36.630]She whistles night and noon
[00:38.384]Her smiles, her frowns
[00:40.374]Her ups, her downs
[00:42.378]Are second nature to me now
[00:45.380]Like breathing out and breathing in
[00:47.628]I was serenely independent and content before we met
[00:52.379]Surely I could always be that way again
[00:56.124]And yet
[00:59.384]I've grown accustomed to her look
[01:02.131]Accustomed to her voice
[01:04.124]Accustomed to her face
[01:22.380]"Marry Freddy", What an infantile idea
[01:26.879]What a heartless, wicked, brainless thing to do
[01:29.129]She'll regret, she'll regret it
[01:33.384]It's doomed before they even take the vow!
[01:36.381]I can see her now, Mrs. Freddy Eynsford-Hill
[01:41.383]In a wretched little flat above a store
[01:44.381]I can see her now, not a penny in the till
[01:47.627]And a bill collector beating at the door
[01:50.627]She'll try to teach the things I taught her
[01:53.626]And end up selling flowers instead
[01:56.126]Begging for her bread and water
[01:59.136]While her husband has his breakfast in bed!
[02:05.879]In a year, or so, when she's prematurely grey
[02:10.134]And the blossom in her cheek has turned to chalk
[02:13.380]She'll come home, and lo, he'll have upped and run away
[02:17.375]With a social-climbing heiress from New York
[02:20.125]Poor Eliza. How simply frightful!
[02:23.631]How humiliating! How delightful!
[02:30.134]How poignant it'll be on that inevitable night
[02:33.123]When she hammers on my door in tears and rags
[02:35.884]Miserable and lonely, repentant and contrite
[02:39.631]Will I take her in or hurl her to the walls
[02:42.625]Give her kindness or the treatment she deserves
[02:46.624]Will I take her back or throw the baggage out
[02:52.874]But I'm a most forgiving man
[02:54.634]The sort who never could, ever would
[02:58.128]Take a position and staunchly never budge
[03:04.631]A most forgiving man
[03:08.876]But, I shall never take her back
[03:12.636]If she were even crawling on her knees
[03:15.135]Let her promise to atone
[03:17.636]Let her shiver, let her moan
[03:19.127]I'll slam the door and let the hell-cat freeze
[03:25.135]"Marry Freddy" (snap) ha!
[03:40.127]But I'm so used to hear her say
[03:44.878]Good morning everyday
[03:47.383]Her joys, her woes
[03:50.132]Her highs, her lows
[03:53.297]Are second nature to me now
[03:56.793]Like breathing out and breathing in
[04:00.550]I'm very grateful she's a woman!
[04:03.299]And so easy to forget
[04:05.551]Rather like a habit
[04:07.293]One can always break
[04:12.291]And yet
[04:14.048]I've grown accustomed to the trace
[04:17.792]Of something in the air
[04:21.300]Accustomed to her face
