Mein Herr Marquis (Die Fledermaus) - Florence Foster Jenkins, Иоганн Штраус-сын

My dear Marquis

It seems to me

You should display more tact

Where a lady goes

What a lady shows

Is how she proves the fact

My taste is to fine and too chic

Ah ha ha ha ha

My waist has a line so unique

Ah ha ha ha ha

My walk is so dramatic

My talk aristocratic

What chamber maid you know could have so much to show (2)

Instead of putting on such airs

Why don’t you mind your own affairs?

It’s too funny

Ah ha ha

Please excuse me

Ah ha ha

I can’t help it

Ah ha ha

You amuse me

Ah ha ha ha ha ha

You’re funny as you can be Marquis

Just look at me

And you will see

There’s more than meets the eye

Where a lady’s been

Where a lady’s seen

Are proofs that never lie

Would I be at home in this room

Ah ha ha ha ha

If I were at home with a broom?

Ah ha ha ha ha

The way I lift an eyebrow

Is typically high-brow

What chamber maid you know could have so much to show (2)

I think you must admit Marquis

You owe me an apology

It’s too funny… etc.
