Alice Is At It Again - Noel Coward and Orchestra[00:00:00]
In a dear little village[00:00:19]
Remote and obscure[00:00:20]
A beautiful maiden resided[00:00:21]
As to whether or not[00:00:23]
Her intentions were pure[00:00:24]
Opinions were sharply divided[00:00:26]
She loved to lie[00:00:29]
Out 'neath the darkening sky[00:00:30]
And allow the night breeze[00:00:32]
To entrance her[00:00:33]
She whispered her dreams[00:00:35]
To the birds flying by[00:00:37]
But seldom received any answer[00:00:39]
Over the field and along the lane[00:00:44]
Gentle alice would love to stray[00:00:47]
When it came to the end of the day[00:00:50]
She would wander away[00:00:54]
Unheeding[00:00:56]
Dreaming her innocent dreams she strode[00:00:58]
Quite unaffected by heat or cold[00:01:01]
Frequently freckled or soaked with rain[00:01:03]
Alice was out in the lane[00:01:07]
Who she met there[00:01:11]
Every day[00:01:14]
Was a question[00:01:16]
Answered by none[00:01:17]
But she'd get there[00:01:19]
And she'd stay there[00:01:20]
'Til whatever she did[00:01:22]
Was undoubtedly done[00:01:24]
Over the field and along the lane[00:01:26]
Both her parents would call in vain[00:01:29]
Sadly sorrowfully they'd complain[00:01:32]
Alice is at it again[00:01:37]
Although that dear little village[00:01:45]
Surrounded by trees[00:01:46]
Had neither a school nor a college[00:01:48]
Gentle alice acquired[00:01:50]
From the birds and the bees[00:01:51]
Some exceedingly practical knowledge[00:01:53]
The curious secrets that nature revealed[00:01:56]
She refused to allow to upset her[00:01:59]
But she thought[00:02:01]
When observing the beasts of the field[00:02:03]
That things might have been organized better[00:02:06]
Over the field and along the lane[00:02:12]
Gentle alice would make up[00:02:16]
And take up her stand[00:02:17]
The road was not exactly arterial[00:02:20]
But it led to a town nearby[00:02:23]
Where quite a lot of masculine material[00:02:26]
Caught her rolling eye[00:02:28]
She was ready to hitchhike[00:02:30]
Cadillac or motorbike[00:02:32]
She wasn't proud or choosy[00:02:33]
All she[00:02:35]
Was aiming to be[00:02:36]
Was a pinked up[00:02:37]
Minked up[00:02:38]
Fly by night floozy[00:02:39]
When old rogers[00:02:40]
Gave her pearls as large as[00:02:41]
Nuts on a chestnut tree[00:02:42]
All she'd say was[00:02:44]
'Fiddle di dee[00:02:46]
The wages of sin will be the death of me'[00:02:47]
Over the field and along the lane[00:02:49]
Gentle alice's parents[00:02:53]
Would wait hand in hand[00:02:55]
Her dear old white headed mother[00:02:59]
Wistfully sipping champagne[00:03:02]
Said we've spoiled our child[00:03:07]
Spared the rod[00:03:08]
Open up the caviar and say[00:03:10]
Thank God[00:03:11]
We've got no 'cause to complain[00:03:12]
Alice is at it again[00:03:17]
