Where Is The Life That Late I Led?
Cole Porter

Since I reached the charming age of puberty

And began to think of feminine curls

Like a show that's typically Shuberty

I have always had a multitude of girls

But now that a married man at last am I

How aware of my dear departed past am I

Where is the life that late I led?

Where is it now? Totally dead!

Where is the fun I used to find?

Where has it gone? Gone with the wind!

A married life may all be well

But raising an heir could never compare

With raising a bit of hell

So I repeat what first I said

Where is the life that late I...

In dear Milano, where are you Momo?

Still selling those pictures of the scriptures in the duomo

And Carolina, where are you, 'lina?

Still peddling your pizza in the streets-a Toremina

And in Firenze, where are you Alice?

Still there in your pretty itty-bitty pity palace

And sweet Lucretia, so young and gay

What scandalous doings in the ruins of Pompeii

Where is the life that late I led?

Where is it now? Totally dead!

Where is the fun I used to find?

Where has it gone? Gone with the wind!

The marriage game is quite all right

Yes during the day it's easy to play

But oh what a bore at night

So I repeat what first I said

Where is the life that late I...

Where is Rebecca? My Becky-wecky-oh

Could still she be cruising that amusing Pontevecchio?

Where is Fedora, the wild virago?

It's lucky I missed her gangster sister from Chicago

Where is Venetia, who loved to chat so?

Could still she be drinking in her stinking pink palazzo?

And lovely Lisa, where are you Lisa?

You gave a new meaning to the Leaning Tower of Piza

Where is the life that late I led?

Where is it now? Totally dead!

Where is the fun I used to find?

Where has it gone? Gone with the wind!

I've oft been told of nuptial bliss

But what do you do at quarter to two

With only a shrew to kiss?

So I repeat what first I said

Where is the life that late I led
