《Mrs Worthington》歌词

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

[00:00:01] Written by：Coward

[00:00:08] 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

[00:00:18] And admitting the fact

[00:00:19] She's burning to act

[00:00:20] 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

[00:00:27] Developed for her age

[00:00:28] I repeat Mrs Worthington

[00:00:30] Sweet Mrs Worthington

[00:00:32] Don't put your daughter on the stage

[00:00:36] Regarding yours

[00:00:38] Dear Mrs Worthington

[00:00:40] Of Wednesday the twenty third

[00:00:42] Although your baby

[00:00:44] May be keen on a stage career

[00:00:46] How can I make it clear

[00:00:48] This is not a good idea

[00:00:50] For her to hope

[00:00:52] Dear Mrs Worthington

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

[00:00:57] Her personality

[00:00:58] Is not in reality

[00:01:00] Exciting enough

[00:01:01] Inviting enough

[00:01:02] For this particular sphere

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

[00:01:07] Don't put your daughter on the stage

[00:01:10] She's a bit of an ugly duckling

[00:01:12] You must honestly confess

[00:01:14] And the width of her seat

[00:01:15] Would surely defeat

[00:01:16] Her chances of success

[00:01:17] It's a loud voice

[00:01:19] And though it's not exactly flat

[00:01:21] She'll need a little more than that

[00:01:22] To earn a living wage

[00:01:24] On my knees Mrs Worthington

[00:01:26] Please Mrs Worthington

[00:01:28] Don't put your daughter on the stage

[00:01:31] Don't put your daughter on the stage Mrs Worthington

[00:01:35] Don't put your daughter on the stage

[00:01:38] Though they said at the school of acting

[00:01:40] She was lovely as Peer Gynt

[00:01:42] I'm afraid on the whole

[00:01:43] An ingénue role

[00:01:44] Would emphasize her squint

[00:01:45] She's a big girl

[00:01:47] And though her teeth are fairly good

[00:01:49] She's not the type I ever would

[00:01:50] Be eager to engage

[00:01:52] No more but Mrs Worthington

[00:01:54] Nuts Mrs Worthington

[00:01:56] Don't put your daughter on the stage
