《Madeira M’Dear?(New Master)》歌词

[00:00:00] Madeira M'Dear (New Master) (Live) - Flanders And Swann

[00:01:18] She was young she was pure

[00:01:20] She was new she was nice

[00:01:22] She was fair she was sweet seventeen

[00:01:24] He was old he was vile

[00:01:26] And no stranger to vice

[00:01:27] He was base he was bad he was mean

[00:01:30] He had slyly inviegled her up to his flat

[00:01:33] To view his collection of stamps

[00:01:44] And he said as he hastened to put out the cat

[00:01:48] The wine his cigar and the lamps

[00:01:52] Have some madeira m'dear

[00:01:55] You really have nothing to fear

[00:01:58] I'm not trying to tempt you that wouldn't be right

[00:02:01] You shouldn't drink spirits at this time of night

[00:02:03] Have some madeira m'dear

[00:02:06] It's so very much nicer than beer

[00:02:09] I don't care for sherry one cannot drink stout

[00:02:12] And port is a wine I can well do without

[00:02:15] It's simply a case of chacun á son gout

[00:02:19] Have some madeira m'dear

[00:02:28] Unaware of the wiles of the snake in the grass

[00:02:31] Of the fate of the maiden who topes

[00:02:33] She lowered her standards by raising her glass

[00:02:36] Her courage her eyes and his hopes

[00:02:39] She sipped it she drank it

[00:02:41] She drained it she did

[00:02:42] And he quietly refilled it again

[00:02:45] And he said as he secretly carved one more notch

[00:02:49] On the butt of his gold-handled cane

[00:02:53] Have some madeira m'dear

[00:02:57] I've got a small cask of it here

[00:02:59] And once it's been opened you know it won't keep

[00:03:03] Do finish it up it will help you to sleep

[00:03:06] Have some madeira m'dear

[00:03:09] It's really an excellent year

[00:03:11] Now if it were gin you'd be wrong to say yes

[00:03:14] The evil gin does would be hard to assess

[00:03:18] Besides it's inclined to affect my prowess

[00:03:22] So have some madeira m'dear

[00:03:30] Then there flashed through her mind what her mother had said

[00:03:33] With her ante-penultimate breath

[00:03:36] Oh my child should you look at the wine that is red

[00:03:40] Be prepared for a fate worse than death

[00:03:43] She let go her glass with a shrill little cry

[00:03:48] Crash tinkle it fell to the floor

[00:03:51] When he asked what in heaven she made no reply

[00:03:54] But put in a dash for the door

[00:03:57] Have some madeira m'dear

[00:04:00] Rang out down the hall loud and clear

[00:04:03] A tremulous cry that was filled with despair

[00:04:06] As she paused to take breath in the cool midnight air

[00:04:09] Have some madeira m'dear

[00:04:12] The words seemed to ring in her ear

[00:04:16] Until the next morning she woke up in bed

[00:04:19] With a smile on her lips and an ache in her head

[00:04:24] And a beard in her earhole that tickled and said

[00:04:28] Have some madeira m'dear
