《Hostess With The Mostes’》歌词

[00:00:00] Hostess With The Mostes’ - Ethel Merman (艾索尔·摩曼)

[00:00:19] Call Me Madam

[00:00:23] I was born on a thousand acres of Oklahoma land

[00:00:27] Nothing grew on the thousand acres for it was gravel and sand

[00:00:32] One day father started digging in a field

[00:00:35] Hoping to find some soil

[00:00:37] He dug and he dug and what do you think

[00:00:41] Oil oil oil

[00:00:45] The money rolled in and I rolled out with a fortune piled so high

[00:00:49] Washington was my destination

[00:00:52] And now who am I

[00:00:58] I'm the chosen party giver

[00:01:01] For the White House clientele

[00:01:04] And they know that I deliver

[00:01:07] What it takes to make 'em jell

[00:01:09] And in Washington I'm known by one and all

[00:01:15] As the hostess with the mostes' on the ball

[00:01:20] They could go to Elsa Maxwell

[00:01:23] When they had an axe to grind

[00:01:25] They could always grind their axe well

[00:01:28] At the parties she designed

[00:01:31] Now the hatchet grinders all prefer to call

[00:01:36] On the hostess with the mostes' on the ball

[00:01:41] I've a great big bar and good caviar

[00:01:44] Yes the best that can be found

[00:01:46] And a large amount in my bank account

[00:01:49] When election time comes round

[00:01:52] Entertaining vodka drinkers

[00:01:54] Is a job they give to me

[00:01:57] Making nice guys out of stinkers

[00:01:59] Seems to be my cup of tea

[00:02:02] What they really need behind the iron wall

[00:02:07] Is the hostess with the mostest on the ball

[00:02:12] In the handbag that I'll carry

[00:02:15] There's a precious little note

[00:02:17] To their highnesses from Harry

[00:02:20] Introducing me he wrote

[00:02:23] I'll appreciate a favor large or small

[00:02:28] For the hostess

[00:02:29] Who the hostess with the mostes' on the ball
