I've Been To A Marvellous Party (noël Coward)

You know, quite for no reason

I'm here for the season

And high as a kite¡º

Living in error

With maud at cap ferret

(which couldn't be right)...

Everyone's here, and frightfully gay;

Nobody cares what people say,

Though the riviera

Seems really much queerer

Than rome at its height!

On wednesday night

I went to a marvellous party

With noonoo, and nada, and nell¡º

It was in the fresh air,

And we went as we were,

And we stayed as we were,

(which was hell)

Poor grace started singing at midnight,

And she didn't stop singing 'til four¡º

We knew the excitement was bound to begin

When laura got blind on dubonnet and gin

And scratched her veneer with a cartier pin!

I couldn't have liked it more!

I've been to a marvellous party

We played a wonderful game:

Maureen disappeared

And came back in a beard,

And we all had to guess at her name...

Cecil arrived wearing armour,

Some shells and a black feather boa¡º

Poor millicent wore a surrealist comb

Made of bits of mosaic from st. peter's in rome,

But the weight was so great that she had to go home!

And i couldn't have liked it more!

I've been to a marvellous party

I must say the fun was intense;

We all had to do

What the people we knew

Might be doing a hundred years hence...

We talked about growing old gracefully,

And elsie¡ºwho's seventy-four¡º

Said, a) it's a question of being sincere,

And b) if you're supple you've got nothing to fear¡º

Then she swung upside-down from a chandelier!

And i couldn't have liked it more!

It was the most fabulous excitement

I've never seen such a carry-on!

Obviously, it couldn't happen

Anywhere else but on the riviera...

It was most peculiar¡º

You know, people's behaviour

Away from belgravia

Would make you aghast!

So much variety,

Watching society

Scampering past...

You know, if you have any mind at all,

Gibbon's divine decline and fall¡º

Well, it sounds pretty flimsy

No more than a whimsy...

By way of contrast,

On wednesday last

I went to a marvellous party

We didn't sit down 'til ten

You know, young bobby carr

Did a stunt at the bar

With a lot of extraordinary men!

And then freda arrived with a turtle,

(which shattered us all to the core)

And then the duchess passed out at a quarter to three

And suddenly cyril cried fiddle-de-dee!,

Then he ripped off his trousers

And jumped in the sea!

And i couldn't have liked it more!

I've been to a marvellous party

Elyse made an entrance with may

You'd never have guessed

From her fisherman's vest

That her bust had been whittled away...

Poor lulu got fried on chianti

And talked about esprit de corps;

Louise made a couple of passes at gus,

And freddie¡ºwho hates any kind of a fuss¡º

Did half the big apple and twisted his truss¡ºha ha!

I couldn't have liked it more!
