Gooch Is Song (From Mame) - Jane Connell

作词：Jerry Herman

作曲：Jerry Herman

With my wings resolutely spread

Missis Burnside

And my old inhibitions shed

Missis Burnside

I did each little thing you said

Missis Burnside

I lived

I lived

I lived

I altered the drape of a drop of my bodice

And softened the shape of my brow

I followed directions

And made some connections

But what do I do now

Who'd think this Miss Prim would have opened a window

As far as her whim would allow

And who would suppose it was so hard to close it

Oh what do I do now

I polished and I powdered and puffed myself

If life is a banquet I stuffed myself

I had my misgivings

But went on a field trip

To find out what living's about

My thanks for your training

Now I'm not complaining

But you left something out

Instead of wand'ring on with my lone remorse

I have come back home to complete the course

Oh what do I do now

Missis Burnside

I traveled to hell in my new veneer

And look what I got as a souvenir

But still I'll defend you

As guide and instructor

Would I recommend you and how

Although I was leery

I thrived on your theory

That life can be a wow

You said there's nothing wrong with a harmless smooch

So I'm gonna call him Burnside Gooch

But what do I do now
