The Hostess with the Mostes' - Ethel Merman (艾索尔·摩曼)[00:00:00]

I was born on a thousand acres of Oklahoma land[00:00:05]

Nothing grew on the thousand acres for it was gravel and sand[00:00:11]

One day father started digging in a field[00:00:16]

Hoping to find some soil[00:00:19]

He dug and he dug and what do you think[00:00:22]

Oil oil oil[00:00:25]

The money rolled in and I rolled out[00:00:30]

With a fortune piled so high[00:00:33]

Washington was my destination[00:00:36]

And now who am I[00:00:39]

I'm the chosen party giver[00:00:44]

For the White House clientele[00:00:47]

And they know that I deliver[00:00:49]

What it takes to make 'em gel[00:00:52]

And in Washington I'm known by one and all[00:00:55]

As the hostess with the mostest on the ball[00:01:00]

They would go to Elsa Maxwell[00:01:06]

When they had an axe to grind[00:01:09]

They could always grind their axe well[00:01:12]

At the parties she designed[00:01:14]

Now the hatchet grinders all prefer to call[00:01:17]

On the hostess with the mostest on the ball[00:01:22]

I've a great big bar and good caviar[00:01:28]

Yes the best that can be found[00:01:30]

And a large amount in my bank account[00:01:33]

When election time comes round[00:01:36]

If you're feeling presidential[00:01:39]

You can make it yes indeed[00:01:41]

There are just three things essential[00:01:44]

Let me tell you all you need[00:01:47]

Is an ounce of wisdom and a pound of gall[00:01:49]

And the hostess with the mostest on the ball[00:01:55]

Entertaining vodka drinkers[00:02:01]

Is a job they give to me[00:02:03]

Making nice guys out of stinkers[00:02:06]

Seems to be my cup of tea[00:02:08]

What they really need behind the iron wall[00:02:11]

Is the hostess with the mostest on the ball[00:02:16]

There's a book of regulations[00:02:22]

As to who sits next to who[00:02:24]

But there might be complications[00:02:27]

When the blue blood's not so blue[00:02:30]

So the priestess with the leastest protocol[00:02:32]

Is the hostess with the mostest on the ball[00:02:37]

An ambassador has just reached the shore[00:02:43]

He's a man of many loves[00:02:46]

An important gent from the Orient[00:02:48]

To be handled with kid gloves[00:02:51]

He can come and let his hair down ooh[00:02:53]

Have the best time of his life[00:02:56]

Even bring his new affair down[00:02:59]

Introduce her as his wife[00:03:01]

But she mustn't leave her panties in the hall[00:03:04]

Of the priestess with the leastest[00:03:09]

Nor the hostess with the mostest[00:03:12]

With the mostest on the ball[00:03:15]
