To Keep My Love Alive — текст песни (Ella Fitzgerald)

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
