[00:17.698]Glitter and be gay
[00:23.478]That's the part I play
[00:29.143]Here I am in Paris France
[00:41.509]Forced to bend my soul
[00:47.398]To a sordid role
[00:53.352]Victimised by bitter
[00:59.250]Bitter circumstance
[01:04.399]Alas for me had I remained
[01:10.48]Beside my lady mother
[01:13.295]My virtue had remained unstained
[01:19.334]Until my maiden hand was gained
[01:25.803]By some 'grand duke'or other
[01:40.662]Ah 'twas not to be
[01:46.37]Harsh necessity
[01:51.775]Brought me to this gilded gate
[02:03.930]Born to higher things
[02:08.745]Here I drop my wings
[02:12.916]Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
[02:18.02]Singing of a sorrow
[02:24.20]Nothing can assuage
[02:29.511]And yet of course I rather like to revel ah
[02:33.73]Ahhhh
[02:33.772]I have no strong objection to champagne ah ha
[02:37.824]My wardrobe is expensive as the devil ah ha
[02:41.771]Perhaps it is ignoble to complain
[02:46.481]Enough enough
[02:48.871]Of being basely tearful
[02:51.673]I'll show my noble stuff
[02:55.412]By being bright and cheerful
[02:59.298]Ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaa
[03:01.654]Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
[03:08.686]Ha ha ha ha ha
[03:10.553]Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
[03:24.973]Ha haha haha haha
[03:27.613]Haha haha hahaaaaaaaaaaa
[03:57.428]Pearls and ruby rings
[04:00.574]Ah how can wordly take the place of honour lost
[04:06.801]Can they compensate for my fallen state
[04:10.125]Purchased as they were at such an awful cost
[04:19.340]Bracelets lavaliers can they dry my tears
[04:25.852]Can they blind my eyes to shame
[04:28.354]Can the brightest brooch shield me from reproach
[04:31.747]Can the purest diamond purify my name
[04:39.840]And yet of course these trinkets are endearing ah haa
[04:44.190]I'm oh so glad my sapphire is a star ah ha haa
[04:48.164]I rather like a twenty carat earring ah haa
[04:52.93]If I'm not pure at least my jewels are
[04:56.694]Enough enough
[04:59.403]I'll take their diamond necklace
[05:02.726]And show my noble stuff
[05:06.228]By being gay and reckless
[05:10.326]Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
[05:19.680]Ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaa
[05:23.242]Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haa haa
[05:34.98]Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haa haaaaa
[05:37.607]Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haa haaaaaa
[05:40.966]Observe how bravely I conceal the dreadful trial shame I feel
[05:48.331]Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaaa
[05:51.958]Ha ha haaaaaa
[05:52.669]Ha ha haaaaaa ha ha haaaaaa
[06:01.828]Ha ha ha
[06:03.432]Haaaaaaaaaaaaa
