Glitter And Be Gay - Maureen Mcgovern/Richard Kapp/Philharmonia Virtuosi of New York

Written by：Leonard Bernstein

Glitter and be gay

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 droop my wings

Ah singing of a sorrow

Nothing can assuage

And yet of course I rather like to revel

Ahha I have no strong objection to champagne

Ahha my wardrobe is expensive as the devil

Ahha perhaps it is ignoble to complain

Enough enough

Of being basely tearful

I'll show my noble stuff

By being bright and cheerful

Ahahha hahaha

Hahahaha hahahahaha hahahaha hahahahaha

Hahahaha hahahahaha hahahaha hahahahaha

Haha haha haha haha ha haha haha haha ha

Haaaaa haaaaa haa haa haa haa haa haaaaa

Hahhhh

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 lavalieres

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

And yet of course these trinkets are endearing

Ahha I'm oh so glad my sapphire is a star

Ahha I rather like a twenty carat earring

Ahha If I'm not pure at least my jewels are

Enough enough

I'll take their diamond necklace

And show my noble stuff

By being gay and reckless

Ohohho ohohoho

Ohohoho ohohohoho ohohoho ohohohoho

Ohohoho ohohohoho ohohoho ohohohoho

Ohho ohho ohhohoho ohho ohho ohhohoho

Observe how bravely I conceal

The dreadful dreadful shame I feel

Ohohho ohohho ohohho ohohho ohohho

Hoho oho hohoho

Ohoho ohohoh hoho hoho

Ohohohoho

Hoho ho hoo
