Slip Of A Girl - Mary Stout/Marla Schaffel/Andrea Bowen/Bruce Dow

作词：Paul Gordon/John Caird

作曲：Paul Gordon

I cannot believe it

What is it Madame

He means to marry her

A governess

A slip of a girl

No breeding no brass

No kinship no class

A slip of a girl

Who misplaces her grace

And disgraces her place

A slip of a girl

Who should settle for less

And confess a success

I'm outraged and appalled

Distressed and offended

Scandalized mortified

Shocked and upended

Is it true mam'selle

Yes it is

You're a slip of a girl it's unlikely

I fear he's in love with you dear

Mrs Fairfax

A slip of a girl

Would you marry him when

You've no knowledge of men

A slip of girl

I would beg you to purge

Your unvirginal urge

I'm fretted and anxious

Concerned and disturbed

Upset apprehensive

Harassed and perturbed

Oh Jane you must be careful

I remember in my youth

I thought the same as you

But men my dear will break your heart

While swearing to be true

From Mr Rochester Miss

Thank you Robert

But these are the Rochester jewels

Oh yes

To be worn by a governess

I'm astonished alarmed

Perplexed and dumbfounded

Bewildered embarrassed

Amazed and astounded

I don't know why he sent them

I told him I would not wear them

Not wear them And who are you to say

You will not wear jewels given to you

By Mr Edward Fairfax Rochester

A slip of a girl

Whose form I'll be sworn

He should scorn to adorn no indeed Mrs Fairfax

A slip of a girl

Who'd be blessed at the best

To be fetchingly dressed

I shall not wear them

A slip of a girl

Who'll do as she's told

Or be wholly cajoled

Laughable impudent

Brazen audacious

Saucy impertinent

Bold and ungracious

Ooh voila

From the tailor at Milcote Miss

Oh yes thank you

So this is the wedding dress

Do you like it

Like it

Well I

I remember long ago

When I wore such a dress

He died poor man and broke my heart

Still broken I confess

I'm very sorry to hear that Mrs Fairfax

A slip of a girl

Insipidly built

Ill-equipped to the hilt

You're a slip of a girl

And I'll bet he'll not let you be

More than a pet

He's twenty years older

Aesthetics won't let it

Be more than a friendship

You'd better forget it

No indeed Mrs Fairfax Edward is young

Edward

He's young in his heart

Oh dear

He loves me I'm sure

Oh dear I don't know

I solemnly swear

Love is a great thing

Our love will endure

Well then

I'm thrilled I'm enchanted

Enraptured excited

Gratified tickled

I trust I'm invited

I'm charmed

I'm disarmed

Jane Eyre

I'm delighted

Come down
