Madeira M'Dear (New Master) (Live) - Flanders And Swann[00:00:00]

She was young she was pure[00:01:18]

She was new she was nice[00:01:20]

She was fair she was sweet seventeen[00:01:22]

He was old he was vile[00:01:24]

And no stranger to vice[00:01:26]

He was base he was bad he was mean[00:01:27]

He had slyly inviegled her up to his flat[00:01:30]

To view his collection of stamps[00:01:33]

And he said as he hastened to put out the cat[00:01:44]

The wine his cigar and the lamps[00:01:48]

Have some madeira m'dear[00:01:52]

You really have nothing to fear[00:01:55]

I'm not trying to tempt you that wouldn't be right[00:01:58]

You shouldn't drink spirits at this time of night[00:02:01]

Have some madeira m'dear[00:02:03]

It's so very much nicer than beer[00:02:06]

I don't care for sherry one cannot drink stout[00:02:09]

And port is a wine I can well do without[00:02:12]

It's simply a case of chacun á son gout[00:02:15]

Have some madeira m'dear[00:02:19]

Unaware of the wiles of the snake in the grass[00:02:28]

Of the fate of the maiden who topes[00:02:31]

She lowered her standards by raising her glass[00:02:33]

Her courage her eyes and his hopes[00:02:36]

She sipped it she drank it[00:02:39]

She drained it she did[00:02:41]

And he quietly refilled it again[00:02:42]

And he said as he secretly carved one more notch[00:02:45]

On the butt of his gold-handled cane[00:02:49]

Have some madeira m'dear[00:02:53]

I've got a small cask of it here[00:02:57]

And once it's been opened you know it won't keep[00:02:59]

Do finish it up it will help you to sleep[00:03:03]

Have some madeira m'dear[00:03:06]

It's really an excellent year[00:03:09]

Now if it were gin you'd be wrong to say yes[00:03:11]

The evil gin does would be hard to assess[00:03:14]

Besides it's inclined to affect my prowess[00:03:18]

So have some madeira m'dear[00:03:22]

Then there flashed through her mind what her mother had said[00:03:30]

With her ante-penultimate breath[00:03:33]

Oh my child should you look at the wine that is red[00:03:36]

Be prepared for a fate worse than death[00:03:40]

She let go her glass with a shrill little cry[00:03:43]

Crash tinkle it fell to the floor[00:03:48]

When he asked what in heaven she made no reply[00:03:51]

But put in a dash for the door[00:03:54]

Have some madeira m'dear[00:03:57]

Rang out down the hall loud and clear[00:04:00]

A tremulous cry that was filled with despair[00:04:03]

As she paused to take breath in the cool midnight air[00:04:06]

Have some madeira m'dear[00:04:09]

The words seemed to ring in her ear[00:04:12]

Until the next morning she woke up in bed[00:04:16]

With a smile on her lips and an ache in her head[00:04:19]

And a beard in her earhole that tickled and said[00:04:24]

Have some madeira m'dear[00:04:28]
