《Mrs Worthington》歌词

[00:00:00] Mrs Worthington - Noel Coward and Orchestra

[00:00:07] Don't put your daughter on the stage Mrs Worthington

[00:00:11] Don't put your daughter on the stage

[00:00:14] The profession is overcrowded

[00:00:16] And the struggle's pretty tough

[00:00:17] And admitting the fact

[00:00:18] She's burning to act

[00:00:19] That isn't quite enough

[00:00:21] She has nice hands

[00:00:23] Give the wretched girl her due

[00:00:25] But don't you think her bust is too

[00:00:26] Developed for her age

[00:00:27] I repeat Mrs Worthington

[00:00:30] Sweet Mrs Worthington

[00:00:31] Don't put your daughter on the stage

[00:00:35] Regarding yours

[00:00:37] Dear Mrs Worthington

[00:00:39] Of Wednesday the twenty-third

[00:00:41] Although your baby

[00:00:43] May be keen on a stage career

[00:00:45] How can I make it clear

[00:00:47] This is not a good idea

[00:00:49] For her to hope

[00:00:51] Dear Mrs Worthington

[00:00:53] Is on the face of it absurd

[00:00:56] Her personality

[00:00:57] Is not in reality

[00:00:59] Exciting enough

[00:01:00] Inviting enough

[00:01:01] For this particular sphere

[00:01:03] Don't put your daughter on the stage Mrs Worthington

[00:01:06] Don't put your daughter on the stage

[00:01:09] She's a bit of an ugly duckling

[00:01:11] You must honestly confess

[00:01:13] And the width of her seat

[00:01:14] Would surely defeat

[00:01:14] Her chances of success

[00:01:16] It's a loud voice

[00:01:18] And though it's not exactly flat

[00:01:19] She'll need a little more than that

[00:01:21] To earn a living wage

[00:01:23] On my knees Mrs Worthington

[00:01:25] Please Mrs Worthington

[00:01:27] Don't put your daughter on the stage

[00:01:30] Don't put your daughter on the stage Mrs Worthington

[00:01:34] Don't put your daughter on the stage

[00:01:37] Though they said at the school of acting

[00:01:39] She was lovely as peer gent

[00:01:41] I fear on the whole

[00:01:42] An ingenue role

[00:01:42] Would emphasize her squint

[00:01:44] She's a big girl

[00:01:46] And though her teeth are fairly good

[00:01:48] She's not the type I ever would

[00:01:49] Be eager to engage

[00:01:51] No more but Mrs Worthington

[00:01:53] Nuts Mrs Worthington

[00:01:55] Don't put your daughter on the stage
