andrea boccadoro - sybil fortescue lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
sybil fortescue
always has what’s new
far ahead of her friends (far ahead of her friends)
she oft gets her hands
on goods from foreign lands
that captain fortescue sends (that captain fortescue sends)

[verse 2]
sybil’s a fine host
of this she will oft boast
she loves to entertain (she loves to entertain)
though hard she does try
her dinners go awry
ending in tears and shame (ending in tears and shame)

[verse 3]
sybil is not blessed
for when she tries her best
’tis then she does her worst
from being over+dressed
to poisoning her guests
ambitions are her curse (ambitions are her curse)

[verse 4]
an explorer’s wife
cannot share his life
she is left all alone (she is left alone)
whilst he is at sea
in a way, so’s she
going overboard at home (going overboard at home)
[verse 5]
from a rich lady
what is charity
but a necessary ruse? (but a necessary ruse)
’tis the job of wives
to draw away our eyes
from how riches are accrued (from how riches are accrued)

[verse 6]
all this energy
for dinners and parties
that never go to plan (that never go to plan)
say, can you conceive
of what could be achieved
if sybil fortescue were a man? (if sybil fortescue were a man?)
