Mrs Worthington - Noel Coward[00:00:00]
Written by:Coward[00:00:01]
Don't put your daughter on the stage Mrs Worthington[00:00:08]
Don't put your daughter on the stage[00:00:11]
The profession is overcrowded[00:00:14]
And the struggle's pretty tough[00:00:16]
And admitting the fact[00:00:18]
She's burning to act[00:00:19]
That isn't quite enough[00:00:20]
She has nice hands[00:00:21]
Give the wretched girl her due[00:00:23]
But don't you think her bust is too[00:00:25]
Developed for her age[00:00:27]
I repeat Mrs Worthington[00:00:28]
Sweet Mrs Worthington[00:00:30]
Don't put your daughter on the stage[00:00:32]
Regarding yours[00:00:36]
Dear Mrs Worthington[00:00:38]
Of Wednesday the twenty third[00:00:40]
Although your baby[00:00:42]
May be keen on a stage career[00:00:44]
How can I make it clear[00:00:46]
This is not a good idea[00:00:48]
For her to hope[00:00:50]
Dear Mrs Worthington[00:00:52]
Is on the face of it absurd[00:00:53]
Her personality[00:00:57]
Is not in reality[00:00:58]
Exciting enough[00:01:00]
Inviting enough[00:01:01]
For this particular sphere[00:01:02]
Don't put your daughter on the stage Mrs Worthington[00:01:03]
Don't put your daughter on the stage[00:01:07]
She's a bit of an ugly duckling[00:01:10]
You must honestly confess[00:01:12]
And the width of her seat[00:01:14]
Would surely defeat[00:01:15]
Her chances of success[00:01:16]
It's a loud voice[00:01:17]
And though it's not exactly flat[00:01:19]
She'll need a little more than that[00:01:21]
To earn a living wage[00:01:22]
On my knees Mrs Worthington[00:01:24]
Please Mrs Worthington[00:01:26]
Don't put your daughter on the stage[00:01:28]
Don't put your daughter on the stage Mrs Worthington[00:01:31]
Don't put your daughter on the stage[00:01:35]
Though they said at the school of acting[00:01:38]
She was lovely as Peer Gynt[00:01:40]
I'm afraid on the whole[00:01:42]
An ingénue role[00:01:43]
Would emphasize her squint[00:01:44]
She's a big girl[00:01:45]
And though her teeth are fairly good[00:01:47]
She's not the type I ever would[00:01:49]
Be eager to engage[00:01:50]
No more but Mrs Worthington[00:01:52]
Nuts Mrs Worthington[00:01:54]
Don't put your daughter on the stage[00:01:56]
