[00:00:12] Glitter and be gay

[00:00:16] That's the part I play

[00:00:21] Here am I oh sorry chance

[00:00:31] Forced to bend my soul

[00:00:36] To a sordid role

[00:00:41] Victimized by bitter bitter circumstance

[00:00:49] Alas for me had I remained

[00:00:54] Beside my lady mother

[00:00:56] My virtue had remained unstained

[00:01:01] Until my maiden hand was gained

[00:01:05] By some grand duke or other

[00:01:15] Ah 'twas not to be

[00:01:20] Harsh necessity

[00:01:25] Brought me to this gilded cage

[00:01:34] Born to higher things

[00:01:38] Here I droop my wings

[00:01:41] Ah singing of a sorrow nothing can assuage

[00:01:57] And yet of course I rather like to revel

[00:02:00] Ha ha

[00:02:00] I have no strong objection to champagne

[00:02:03] Ha ha

[00:02:04] My wardrobe is expensive as the devil

[00:02:07] Ha ha

[00:02:08] Perhaps it is ignoble to complain

[00:02:12] Enough enough

[00:02:13] Of being basely tearful

[00:02:16] I'll show my noble stuff

[00:02:19] By being bright and cheerful

[00:03:10] Pearls and ruby rings

[00:03:13] Ah how can worldly things

[00:03:17] Take the place of honor lost

[00:03:21] Can they compensate

[00:03:23] For my fallen state

[00:03:25] Purchased as they were at such an awful cost

[00:03:30] Braceletslavalieres

[00:03:34] Can they dry my tears

[00:03:36] Can they blind my eyes to shame

[00:03:39] Can the brightest brooch

[00:03:41] Shield me from reproach

[00:03:45] Can the purest diamond purify my name

[00:03:50] And yet of course these trinkets are endearing

[00:03:53] Ha ha

[00:03:54] I'm oh so glad my sapphire is a star

[00:03:57] Ha ha

[00:03:57] I rather like a twenty carat earring

[00:04:00] Ha ha

[00:04:01] If I'm not pure at least my jewels are

[00:04:05] Enough enough

[00:04:07] I'll take their diamond necklace

[00:04:10] And show my noble stuff

[00:04:12] By being gay and reckless

[00:04:43] Observe how bravely I conceal

[00:04:46] The dreadful dreadful shame I feel
