A Little Night Music movie - Now lyrics
rate me<br>
[FREDRIK]<br>
<br>
Now, as the sweet imbecilities <br>
Tumble so lavishly <br>
Onto her lap, <br>
Now, there are two possibilities: <br>
A, I could ravish her, <br>
B, I could nap. <br>
Say It's the ravishment, then we see <br>
The option <br>
That follows, of course: <br>
A, The deployment of charm, or <br>
B, The adoption <br>
Of physical force. <br>
Now, B might arouse her, <br>
But if I assume I trip on my trouser <br>
Leg crossing the room... <br>
Her hair getting tangled, <br>
Her stays getting snapped, <br>
My nerves would be jangled, <br>
My energy sapped... <br>
Removing her clothing <br>
Would take me all day, <br>
And her subsequent loathing <br>
Would turn me away, <br>
Which eliminates B <br>
And which leaves us with A. <br>
Now, insofar as approaching it, <br>
What would be festive <br>
But have its effect? <br>
Now, there are two ways of broaching it: <br>
A, the suggestive, <br>
And B, the direct. <br>
Say that I settle on B, to wit, <br>
A charmingly Lecherous mood, <br>
A, I could put on my nightshirt or sit <br>
Disarmingly, B, in the nude. <br>
That might be effective; <br>
My body's all right-- <br>
But not in perspective <br>
And not in the light. <br>
I'm bound to be chilly <br>
And feel a buffoon, <br>
But nightshirts are silly <br>
In mid-afternoon. <br>
Which leaves the suggestive, <br>
But how to proceed? <br>
Although she gets restive, <br>
Perhaps I could read. <br>
In view of her penchant <br>
For something romantic, <br>
De Sade is to trenchant <br>
And Dickens too frantic, <br>
And Stendhal would ruin <br>
The plan of attack, <br>
As there isn't much blue in "The Red and the Black." <br>
De Maupassant's candour <br>
Would cause her dismay, <br>
The Brontes are grander <br>
But not very gay, <br>
Her taste is much blander, <br>
I'm sorry to say, <br>
But is Hans Christian Ander- <br>
Sen ever risque? <br>
Which eliminates A... <br>
Now, with my mental facilities <br>
Partially muddied <br>
And ready to snap, <br>
Now, though there are possibilities <br>
Still to be studied, I might as well nap. <br>
Bow <br>
Though I must <br>
To adjust <br>
My original plan, <br>
How <br>
Shall <br>
I sleep <br>
Half as deep <br>
As I usually can, <br>
When now I still want and/or love you, <br>
Now as always, <br>
Now, Anne?<br>
