ray charles - i blush lyrics

all court conversation
to my observation
is naughty
and woefully pert;
with joy unabating
the ladies-in-waiting
are waiting
to dish thee the dirt;
such talk never charms me,
in sooth, it alarms me
when told by a hoyden or a valet.
mere greetings and glances
rouse talk of romances;
each kiss is a study in scarlet.

oh dear, when there’s scandal about the court,
i blush!
oh dear, at the naughtiness they report,
i blush!
things they say sound very queer to me,
what they mean is never clear to me,
but it can’t be very nice
the way they hush;
i blush!
such sights are not fit for a maiden’s view.
i blush!
oh, dear, i know just what i ought to do,
i blush!
but you see,
i can’t condemn a tale
if its end i do not know.
oh dear, i blush!
but i love it so!

oh dear, but the queen carries on a bit;
i blush!
oh, dear, though i breathe not a word of it,
i blush!
launcelot loveth her beauty well;
as a knight, he doth his duty well;
on the throne, they get so very warm,
they burn the plush.
i blush!
arthur is a rather unwary king;
i blush!
the queen made launcelot honorary king;
i blush!
to be sure,
it’s none of my concern
if he kissed her once or twice.
oh dear, i blush!
but it’s rather nice!

tristan told his heart to isolde in song;
i blush!
oh dear, but the song was six hours long;
i blush!
what they did was wrong beyond a doubt
if it took so long to sing about;
and the thought can make my lily
cheek to flush.
i blush!
oh dear, how they yodeled of love and death;
i blush!
they died not from love but from lack of breath;
i blush!
that it was
a proper way to die
it is, silly to pretend.
i blush, but oh dear,
what a lovely end!
