The Glamorous Life
A Little Night Music

Ordinary mothers lead ordinary lives

Keep the house and sweep the parlor

Cook the meals and look exhausted

Ordinary mothers like ordinary wives

Fry the eggs and dry the sheets

And try to deal with facts, mine acts


Darling, I miss you a lot

But darling, this has to be short

As mother is getting a plaque

From the Halsingborg Arts Council

Amateur Theatre Group


Whether it's funny or not

I'll give you a fuller report

The minute they carry me back

From the Halsingborg Arts Council

Amateur Theatre Group, love you


Unpack the luggage, la, la, la

Pack up the luggage, la, la, la

Unpack the luggage, la, la, la

Hi, ho, the glamorous life


Ice in the basin, la, la, la

Cracks in the plaster, la, la, la

Mice in the hallway, la, la, la

Hi, ho, the glamorous life


Run for the carriage, la, la, la

Wolf down the sandwich, la, la, la

Which town is this one? La, la, la

Hi, ho, the glamorous life


Ordinary daughters ameliorate their lot

Use their charms and choose their futures

Breed their children, heed their mothers

Ordinary daughters, which mine I fear is not

Tend each asset, spend it wisely

While it still endures, mine tours


Mother, forgive the delay

My schedule is driving me wild

But mother, I really must run

I'm performing in Rottwig

And don't ask where is it, please


How are you feeling today?

And are you corrupting the child? Don't

Mother, the minute I'm done

With performing in Rottwig

I'll come for a visit and argue


Mayors with speeches, la, la, la

Children with posies, la, la, la

Half empty houses, la, la, la

Hi, ho, the glamorous life


Cultural lunches, la, la, la

Dead floral tributes, la, la, la

Ancient admirers, la, la, la

Hi, ho, the glamorous life


Mothers romantic, la, la, la

Mothers misguided, la, la, la

Mothers surviving, la, la, la

Leading the glamorous life


Cracks in the plaster, la, la, la

Youngish admirers, la, la, la

Which one was that one? La, la, la

Hi, ho, the glamorous life


Bring up the curtain, la, la, la

Bring down the curtain, la, la, la

Bring up the curtain, la, la, la

Hi, ho, the glamorous life
