Ella Fitzgerald - To Keep My Love Alive текст песни

Ive been married, and married, and often Ive sighed

"im never a bridesmaid, Im always a bride"

I never divorced them, I hadnt the heart

Yet remember these sweet words, "`till death do us part"

I married many men, a ton of them

Because I was untrue to none of them

Because I bumped off every one of them

To keep my love alive

Sir paul was frail, he looked a wreck to me

At night he was a horses neck to me

So I performed an appendectomy

To keep my love alive

Sir thomas had insomnia, he couldnt sleep at night

I bought a little arsenic, hes sleeping now all right

Sir philip played the harp, I cussed the thing

I crowned him with his harp to bust the thing

And now he plays where harps are just the thing

To keep my love alive

To keep my love alive

(bridge)

I thought sir george had possibilities

But his flirtations made me ill at ease

And when Im ill at ease, I kill at ease

To keep my love alive

Sir charles came from a sanitorium

And yelled for drinks in my emporium

I mixed one drink, hes in memorium

To keep my love alive

Sir francis was a singing bird, a nightingale, thats why

I tossed him off my balcony, to see if he, could fly

Sir atherton indulged in fratricide,

He killed his dad and that was patricide

One night I stabbed him by my mattress-side

To keep my love alive

To keep my love alive

To keep my love alive
