The Hostess With The Mostes' On The Ball - Dinah Shore (黛娜岸)/Chorus[00:00:00]

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

Nothing grew on the thousand acres for it was gravel and sand[00:00:06]

One day father started digging in a field hoping to find some soil[00:00:13]

He dug and he dug and what do you think[00:00:19]

Oil oil oil[00:00:23]

The money rolled in and I rolled out[00:00:28]

With a fortune piled so high[00:00:30]

Washington was my destination[00:00:34]

And now who am I[00:00:38]

I'm the chosen party giver[00:00:45]

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

And they know that I deliver[00:00:50]

What it takes to make 'em gel[00:00:53]

And in Washington I'm known by one and all[00:00:56]

As the hostess with the mostest on the ball[00:01:02]

They would go to Elsa Maxwell[00:01:08]

When they had an axe to grind[00:01:10]

They could always grind their axe well[00:01:13]

At the parties she designed[00:01:16]

But the hatchet grinders all prefer to call[00:01:19]

On the hostess with the mostest on the ball[00:01:25]

I've a great big bar and good caviar[00:01:30]

Yes the best that can be found[00:01:33]

And a large amount in my bank account[00:01:36]

When election time comes round[00:01:39]

If you're got so presidential[00:01:42]

You can make it yes indeed[00:01:45]

There are just three things essential[00:01:47]

Let me tell you what you need[00:01:50]

Is an ounce of wisdom and a pound of gall[00:01:53]

And the hostess with the mostest on the ball[00:01:59]

Entertaining vodka drinkers[00:02:05]

Is a job they give to me[00:02:07]

Making nice guys out of stinkers[00:02:11]

Seems to be my cup of tea[00:02:13]

What they really need behind the iron wall[00:02:16]

Is the hostess with the mostest on the ball[00:02:22]

There's a book of regulations[00:02:28]

As to who sits next to who[00:02:30]

But there might be complications[00:02:33]

When the blue blood's not so blue[00:02:36]

So the priestess with the leastest protocol[00:02:39]

Is the hostess with the mostest on the ball[00:02:45]

An ambassador has just reached the shore[00:02:50]

He's a man of many loves[00:02:53]

An important gent from the Orient[00:02:56]

To be handled with kid gloves[00:02:59]

He can come and let his hair down[00:03:02]

Have the best time of his life[00:03:04]

Even bring his new affair down[00:03:07]

Introduce her as his wife[00:03:10]

But she mustn't leave her panties in the hall[00:03:13]

By the hostess who's the mostest[00:03:19]

With the mostest on the ball[00:03:21]
