The Hostess With the Mostes' on the Ball - Ethel Merman (艾索尔·摩曼)/Bill Currie[00:00:00]

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

Nothing grew on the thousand acres[00:00:11]

For it was gravel and sand[00:00:13]

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[00:00:26]

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

With a fortune piled so high[00:00:32]

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[00:00:50]

What it takes to make them jell[00:00:53]

And in Washington[00:00:55]

I'm known by one and all[00:00:57]

As the hostess[00:01:01]

With the mostest on the ball[00:01:02]

They could go to Elsa Maxwell[00:01:07]

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[00:01:15]

Now the hatchet grinders all prefer to call[00:01:18]

On the hostess with the mostest on the ball[00:01:23]

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

Yes the best that can be found[00:01:31]

And a large amount in my bank account[00:01:34]

When election time comes around[00:01:37]

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

You can make it yes indeed[00:01:42]

There are just three things essential[00:01:45]

Let me tell you all you need[00:01:48]

Is an ounce of wisdom and a pound of gall[00:01:50]

And the hostess with the mostest on the ball[00:01:56]

Entertaining vodka drinkers[00:02:01]

Is a job they give to me[00:02:04]

Making nice guys out of stinkers[00:02:07]

Seems to be my cup of tea[00:02:09]

What they really need behind the iron wall[00:02:12]

Is the hostess with the mostest on the ball[00:02:17]

There's a book of regulations[00:02:23]

As to who sits next to who[00:02:25]

But there might be complications[00:02:28]

When the blue blood's not so blue[00:02:31]

So the priestess with the leastes protocol[00:02:33]

Is the hostess with the mostest on the ball[00:02:39]

An Ambassador has just reached the shore[00:02:44]

He's a man of many loves[00:02:47]

An important gent from the Orient[00:02:49]

To be handled with kid gloves[00:02:52]

He can come and let his hair down[00:02:55]

Have the best time of his life[00:02:57]

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

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

But she mustn't leave her panties in the hall[00:03:05]

Of the priestess with the leastest[00:03:11]

Nor the hostess with the mostest[00:03:13]

With the mostest on the ball[00:03:16]
