noël coward - three white feathers lyrics
(verse 1)
i can’t help feeling
fate’s made a fool of me rather
it’s placed me where i shouldn’t be
and really couldn’t be
by rights
we lived at ealing
me and my mother and father
i’ve scaled the social ladder
and i’ve never had a head for heights
we had a p-wnshop on the corner of the street
and father did a roaring trade
i used to think those rings and necklaces were sweet
now i wouldn’t give them to my maid
(chorus 1)
i’ve traveled a long, long way
and the journey hasn’t been all jam
i must admit
the rolls in which i sit
is one up on the dear old tram
i say to myself each day
in definitely marble halls
today it may be three white feathers
but yesterday it was three br-ss b-lls
(verse 2)
by easy stages
though my beginnings were humble
i’ve studied each small movement
of my self-improvement
from the start
i’ve toured for ages
i’ll never falter or stumble
i’ll give an air of breeding
and a first-rate reading of the part
you must forgive me if i kid myself a bit
in this tiara and gown
and though my accent may not altogether fit
don’t be afraid i’ll let you down
(chorus 2)
i’ve traveled a long, long way
and had a lot of jolts and b-mps
i’ll concentrate
and be ahead of fate
whichever way the old cat jumps
i wink as i slyly drink
to the ancestors that line our walls
today it may be three white feathers
but yesterday it was three br-ss b-lls
