Imagine the Duchess's Feelings - Noel Coward and Orchestra[00:00:00]
The duchess had manner for dignity lurks[00:00:15]
In the shadows of Debret[00:00:18]
But fate threw a spanner smack into the works[00:00:20]
Tarnishing her coronet[00:00:23]
Three large sons were born to her[00:00:26]
But one sad morn to her[00:00:29]
There came a premonition of regret[00:00:30]
Said the duchess Well[00:00:33]
Something doesn't gel[00:00:36]
Said the duchess Well[00:00:38]
Hell[00:00:41]
Imagine the duchess's feelings[00:00:42]
On having hatched out her brood[00:00:44]
To find her first son was weak though well-mannered Her second rather stupid[00:00:47]
And the third plain rude [00:00:51]
Her eldest son when in trouble went white[00:00:53]
Her second son looked blue and hung his head[00:00:55]
But imagine the duchess's feelings[00:00:58]
When her youngest son went red[00:01:01]
She sent them to Etton traditional youth[00:01:08]
Was theirs whatever else they've got[00:01:11]
But nothing could sweeten the bitterest truth[00:01:14]
That baby wasn't quite so hot[00:01:17]
High life gave no joy to him[00:01:20]
The hoi polloi to him[00:01:22]
Provided something that his peers did not[00:01:24]
Said her grace aghast[00:01:27]
Is it going to last[00:01:30]
Said her grace aghast[00:01:33]
Blast[00:01:35]
Imagine the Duchess's feelings[00:01:36]
You could have pierced her with swords[00:01:39]
When she discovered her youngest liked Lenin[00:01:41]
And sold the Daily Worker near the House of Lords[00:01:45]
Her eldest son went to Boodle's and White's[00:01:47]
Her second joined the blues his father led[00:01:50]
But imagine the Duchess's feelings[00:01:53]
When her youngest son went Red[00:01:56]
Imagine the duchess's feelings[00:01:58]
Her overwhelming despair[00:02:01]
To find her third son hobnobbed with the butler[00:02:03]
And sang The Internationale in Belgrave square[00:02:06]
Her first son's debts bled the family white[00:02:09]
Her second son blu'd everything and fled[00:02:12]
But imagine the Duchess's feelings[00:02:14]
When the apple of the eye went Red[00:02:18]
Poor mammy[00:02:20]
Her youngest son went red[00:02:21]
