june anderson - glitter and be gay lyrics

[cunegonde]
glitter and be g+y
that’s the part i play
here i am in paris, france
forced to bend my soul
to a sordid role
victimized by bitter, bitter circumstance

alas, for me!
had i remained
beside my lady mother
my virtue had remained unstained
until my maiden hand was gained
by some grand duke or other

ah, ’twas not to be
harsh necessity
brought me to this gilded cage
born to higher things
here i drop my wings, ah!
singing of a sorrow nothing can assuage
and yet, of course, i rather like to rеvel, ha ha!
i have no strong objection to champagnе, ha ha!
my wardrobe is expensive as the devil, ha ha!
perhaps it is ign0ble to complain

enough, enough
of being basely tearful
i’ll show my n0ble stuff
by being bright and cheerful
ha ha ha ha ha!
ha!

ha ha ha ha ha ha!
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
ha ha ha ha ha ha!
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
ha ha ha ha ha ha!
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
ha ha ha ha ha ha!
ha ha ha ha ha ha!
ha ha, ha ha, ha ha ha ha ha ha!
ha ha, ha ha, ha ha ha ha!
ha! ha!
ha ha ha ha ha ha!

(spoken)
pearls and ruby rings
ah, how can worldly things
take the place of honor lost?
can they compensate
for my fallen state?
purchased as they were at such an awful cost?
bracelets, lavallieres
can they dry my tears?
can they blind my eyes to shame?
can the brightest brooch
shield me from reproach?
can the purest diamond purify my name?
(sung)
and yet, of course, these trinkets are endearing, ha ha!
i’m oh so glad my sapphire is a star, ha ha!
i rather like a twenty carat earring, ha ha!
if i’m not pure at least my jewels are!

enough, enough
i’ll take their diamond necklace
and show my n0ble stuff
by being g+y and reckless
ha ha ha ha ha!
ha!

observe how bravely i conceal
the dreadful, dreadful shame i feel
ha ha ha ha!
ha ha ha ha!
ha ha ha ha!
ha ha ha ha!
ha ha ha ha!
ha ha ha ha!
ha ha ha!
ha ha ha ha ha ha!
ha ha ha ha ha ha!
ha! ha!
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
ha ha ha ha!
ha!
ha!
ha ha!
ha ha ha!
