《Imagine the Duchess’s Feelings》歌词

[00:00:15] The duchess had manner for dignity lurks

[00:00:18] In the shadows of Debret

[00:00:20] But fate threw a spanner smack into the works

[00:00:23] Tarnishing her coronet

[00:00:26] Three large sons were born to her

[00:00:29] But one sad morn to her

[00:00:30] There came a premonition of regret

[00:00:34] Said the duchess Well

[00:00:36] Something doesn't gel

[00:00:39] Said the duchess Well

[00:00:42] Hell

[00:00:43] Imagine the duchess's feelings

[00:00:45] On having hatched out her brood

[00:00:48] To find her first son was weak though well mannered Her second rather stupid

[00:00:52] And the third plain rude

[00:00:54] Her eldest son when in trouble went white

[00:00:57] Her second son looked blue and hung his head

[00:00:59] But imagine the duchess's feelings

[00:01:02] When her youngest son went red

[00:01:10] She sent them to Etton traditional youth

[00:01:13] Was theirs whatever else they've got

[00:01:16] But nothing could sweeten the bitterest truth

[00:01:18] That baby wasn't quite so hot

[00:01:22] High life gave no joy to him

[00:01:24] The hoi polloi to him

[00:01:26] Provided something that his peers did not

[00:01:30] Said her grace aghast

[00:01:32] Is it going to last

[00:01:35] Said her grace aghast

[00:01:37] Blast

[00:01:39] Imagine the Duchess's feelings

[00:01:41] You could have pierced her with swords

[00:01:44] When she discovered her youngest liked Lenin

[00:01:47] And sold the Daily Worker near the House of Lords

[00:01:50] Her eldest son went to Boodle's and White's

[00:01:53] Her second joined the blues his father led

[00:01:56] But imagine the Duchess's feelings

[00:01:59] When her youngest son went Red

[00:02:02] Imagine the duchess's feelings

[00:02:04] Her overwhelming despair

[00:02:07] To find her third son hobnobbed with the butler

[00:02:10] And sang The Internationale in Belgrave square

[00:02:13] Her first son's debts bled the family white

[00:02:16] Her second son blu'd everything and fled

[00:02:18] But imagine the Duchess's feelings

[00:02:21] When the apple of the eye went Red

[00:02:23] Poor mammy

[00:02:24] Her youngest son went red
