Alice Is At It Again - Noel Coward[00:00:00]
Written by:Coward[00:00:00]
Now I should like to sing you a song about a simple[00:00:00]
Country girl who always kept her eye on the future[00:00:06]
In a dear little village[00:00:18]
Remote and obscure[00:00:19]
A beautiful maiden resided[00:00:21]
As to whether or not[00:00:22]
Her intentions were pure[00:00:24]
Opinions were sharply divided[00:00:26]
She loved to lie[00:00:28]
Out 'neath the darkening sky[00:00:30]
And allow the night breeze[00:00:32]
To entrance her[00:00:33]
She whispered her dreams[00:00:35]
To the birds flying by[00:00:36]
But seldom received any answer[00:00:38]
Over the field and along the lane[00:00:43]
Gentle Alice would love to stray[00:00:46]
When it came to the end of the day[00:00:49]
She would wander away[00:00:53]
An heeding[00:00:55]
Dreaming her innocent dreams she strode[00:00:57]
Quite unaffected by heat or cold[00:01:00]
Frequently freckled or soaked with rain[00:01:03]
Alice was out in the lane[00:01:06]
Who she met there[00:01:10]
Every day[00:01:13]
Was a question[00:01:14]
Answered by none[00:01:16]
But she'd get there[00:01:18]
And she'd stay there[00:01:19]
'Til whatever she did[00:01:21]
Was undoubtedly done[00:01:23]
Over the field and along the lane[00:01:25]
Both her parents would call in vain[00:01:28]
Sadly sorrowfully they'd complain[00:01:32]
Alice is at it again[00:01:36]
Although that dear little village[00:01:44]
Surrounded by trees[00:01:45]
Had neither a school nor a college[00:01:47]
Gentle Alice acquired[00:01:49]
From the birds and the bees[00:01:50]
Some exceedingly practical knowledge[00:01:52]
The curious secrets that nature revealed[00:01:55]
She refused to allow to upset her[00:01:58]
But she thought[00:02:00]
When observing the beasts of the field[00:02:02]
That things might have been organized better[00:02:04]
Over the field and along the lane[00:02:11]
Gentle Alice would make up[00:02:15]
And take up[00:02:16]
Her stand[00:02:17]
The road was not exactly arterial[00:02:19]
But it led to a town nearby[00:02:22]
Where quite a lot of masculine material[00:02:24]
Caught her rolling eye[00:02:27]
She was ready to hitchhike[00:02:28]
Cadillac or motorbike[00:02:30]
She wasn't proud or choosy[00:02:31]
All she[00:02:34]
Was aiming to be[00:02:35]
Was a pinked up[00:02:36]
Pinked up[00:02:37]
Fly by night floozy[00:02:37]
When old rogers[00:02:38]
Gave her pearls as large as[00:02:39]
Nuts on a chestnut tree[00:02:41]
All she'd say was[00:02:43]
'Fiddle Di Dee[00:02:44]
The wages of sin will be the death of me[00:02:45]
Over the field and along the lane[00:02:48]
Gentle Alice's parents[00:02:51]
Would wait[00:02:53]
Hand in hand[00:02:54]
Her dear old white headed mother[00:02:57]
Wistfully sipping champagne[00:03:01]
Said we've spoiled our child[00:03:05]
Spared the rod[00:03:07]
Open up the caviar and say thank God[00:03:08]
We've got no cause to complain[00:03:10]
Alice is at it again[00:03:15]
