Re Noel Coward songs (from yesterday's discussion topic). I see these on my computer drive, can't recall what I did them for.
Tune of Noel Coward’s DON’T PUT YOUR DAUGHTER ON THE STAGE, MRS. WORTHINGTON
Don't bet your fortune on the stage,
Mrs. Moneybags,
Don't bet your fortune on the stage.
Though the actors are highly touted
The weekly nut is really tough
Though I'm aware that you’re rich
And love the play that they pitch
That’s really not enough.
It’s a great show, and it seems the danger’s rather small
But could you really lose it all
And not get in a rage?
So be strong
Mrs. Moneybags,
It’s wrong
Mrs. Moneybags,
Don't bet your fortune on the stage.
And this one: I guess someone must have put their bare feet on the stage during a performance!
Don't put your bare feet on the stage, Mrs. Worthington,
Don't put your bare feet on the stage,
The proscenium is overcrowded
And the stench is pretty tough
Though I'm aware of the fact
Your feet burn to act,
They haven't got the stuff.
You have nice toes, to give the digits all they're due,
But don't you think your corns are too
Disgusting for your age?
I repeat
Mrs. Worthington,
Your feet
Mrs. Worthington,
Don't put your bare feet on the stage.
