《Patience: When I First Put This Uniform On》歌词

[00:00:00] Patience: When I First Put This Uniform On - Glyndebourne Festival Chorus

[00:00:09] When I first put this uniform on

[00:00:11] I said as I looked in the glass

[00:00:13] It's one to a million

[00:00:15] That any civilian

[00:00:16] My figure and form will surpass

[00:00:18] Gold lace has a charm for the fair

[00:00:20] And I've plenty of that and to spare

[00:00:22] While a lover's professions

[00:00:24] When uttered in Hessians

[00:00:25] Are eloquent everywhere

[00:00:27] A fact that I counted upon

[00:00:29] When I first put this uniform on

[00:00:32] By a simple coincidence few

[00:00:34] Could ever have counted upon

[00:00:36] The same thing occurred to me

[00:00:38] When I first put this uniform on

[00:00:41] I said when I first put it on

[00:00:43] It is plain to the veriest dunce

[00:00:45] That every beauty

[00:00:47] Will feel it her duty

[00:00:48] To yield to its glamour at once

[00:00:50] They will see that I'm freely gold-laced

[00:00:52] In a uniform handsome and chaste

[00:00:55] But the peripatetics

[00:00:56] Of long-haired aesthetics

[00:00:57] Are very much more to their taste

[00:00:59] Which I never counted upon

[00:01:01] When I first put this uniform on

[00:01:04] By a simple coincidence few

[00:01:06] Could ever have counted upon

[00:01:09] I didn't anticipate that

[00:01:11] When I first put this uniform on
