Glitter and be gay (Live) - London Philharmonic Orchestra[00:00:00]

Glitter and be gay[00:00:12]

That's the part I play[00:00:16]

Here I am in Paris France[00:00:20]

Forced to bend my soul[00:00:28]

To a sordid role[00:00:32]

Victimized by bitter bitter circumstance[00:00:37]

Alas for me had I remained[00:00:44]

Beside my lady mother[00:00:49]

My virtue had remained unstained[00:00:51]

Until my maiden hand was gained[00:00:57]

By some Grand Duke or other[00:01:02]

It was not to be[00:01:13]

Harsh necessity[00:01:17]

Brought me to this gilded cage[00:01:22]

Born to higher things[00:01:31]

Here I droop my wings[00:01:35]

Ah singing of a sorrow nothing can assuage[00:01:38]

And yet of course I rather like to revel[00:01:50]

Ha ha[00:01:53]

I have no strong objection to champagne[00:01:54]

Ha ha[00:01:57]

My wardrobe is expensive as the devil[00:01:58]

Ha ha[00:02:01]

Perhaps it is ignoble to complain[00:02:01]

Enough enough[00:02:06]

Of being basely tearful[00:02:08]

I'll show my noble stuff[00:02:11]

By being bright and cheerful[00:02:13]

Pearls and ruby rings[00:03:05]

Ah how can worldly things[00:03:08]

Take the place of honor lost[00:03:10]

Can they compensate[00:03:13]

For my fallen state[00:03:14]

Purchased as they were at such an awful cost[00:03:17]

Braceletslavalieres[00:03:23]

Can they dry my tears[00:03:26]

Can they blind my eyes to shame[00:03:28]

Can the brightest brooch[00:03:31]

Shield me from reproach[00:03:32]

Can the purest diamond purify my name[00:03:34]

And yet of course these trinkets are endearing[00:03:40]

Ha ha[00:03:42]

I'm oh so glad my sapphire is a star[00:03:43]

Ha ha[00:03:46]

I rather like a twenty-carat earring[00:03:47]

Ha ha[00:03:49]

If I'm not pure at least my jewels are[00:03:50]

Enough[00:03:55]

Enough[00:03:55]

I'll take their diamond necklace[00:03:57]

And show my noble stuff[00:03:59]

By being gay and reckless[00:04:02]

Observe how bravely I conceal[00:04:32]

The dreadful great shame I feel[00:04:35]
