A Little Night Music movie - The Glamourous Life lyrics

[FREDRIKA]<br>
<br>
Ordinary mothers lead ordinary lives, <br>
Keep the house and sweep the parlor, <br>
Cook the meals and look exhausted. <br>
Ordinary mothers, like ordinary wives, <br>
Fry the eggs and dry the sheets <br>
And try to deal with facts-- <br>
Mine acts! <br>
<br>
[DESIREE]<br>
<br>
Darling, I miss you a lot, <br>
But, darling, this has to be short, <br>
As mother is getting a plaque <br>
From the Halsingborg Arts Council Amateur Theatre Group. <br>
Whether it's funny or not, <br>
I'll give you a fuller report <br>
The minute they carry me back <br>
From the Halsingborg Arts Council Amateur Theatre Group. <br>
Love you. <br>
<br>
[QUINTET]<br>
<br>
Unpack the luggage, la la la, <br>
Pack up the luggage, la la la, <br>
Unpack the luggage, la la la, <br>
Hi-ho, the glamorous life! <br>
<br>
[MR. SEGSTROM]<br>
<br>
Ice in the basin, la la la, <br>
<br>
[MR. ERLANSEN]<br>
<br>
Cracks in the plaster, la la la, <br>
<br>
[MRS. ANDERSSEN]<br>
<br>
Mice in the hallway, la la la, <br>
<br>
[QUINTET]<br>
<br>
Hi-ho, the glamorous life! <br>
Run for the carriage, la la la, <br>
Wolf down the sandwich, la la la, <br>
Which town is this one, la la la, <br>
Hi-ho, the glamorous life! <br>
<br>
[MADAME ARMFELDT:]<br>
<br>
Ordinary daughters ameliorate their lot, <br>
Use their charms and choose their futures, <br>
Breed their children, heed their mothers. <br>
Ordinary daughters, which mine, I fear, is not, <br>
Tend each asset, spend it wisely <br>
While it still endures-- <br>
Mine tours! <br>
<br>
[DESIREE]<br>
<br>
Mother, forgive the delay. <br>
My schedule is driving me wild. <br>
But, mother, I really must run-- <br>
I'm performing in Rottwig, and don't ask "where is it," <br>
Please... <br>
How are you feeling today? <br>
And are you corrupting the child? <br>
Don't. <br>
Mother, the minute I'm done <br>
With performing in Rottwig, <br>
I'll come for a visit <br>
And argue. <br>
<br>
[QUINTET]<br>
<br>
Mayors with speeches, la la la, <br>
Children with posies, la la la, <br>
Half-empty houses, la la la, <br>
Hi-ho, the glamorous life! <br>
<br>
[MRS. NORDSTROM]<br>
<br>
Cultural lunches, <br>
<br>
[QUINTET]<br>
<br>
La la la, <br>
<br>
[MRS. ANDERSSEN]<br>
<br>
Dead floral tributes, <br>
<br>
[QUINTET]<br>
<br>
La la la, <br>
<br>
[MR. LINDQUIST]<br>
<br>
Ancient admirers, <br>
<br>
[QUINTET]<br>
<br>
La la la, <br>
Hi-ho, the glamorous life. <br>
<br>
[DESIREE]<br>
<br>
Pack up the luggage, la la la, <br>
Unpack the luggage, la la la, <br>
Mother's surviving, la la la, <br>
Leading the glamorous life. <br>
Cracks in the plaster, la la la, <br>
Youngish admirers, la la la, <br>
Which one was that one, la la la, <br>
Hi-ho, the glamorous life. <br>
<br>
[DESIREE AND QUINTET]<br>
<br>
Bring up the curtain, la la la, <br>
Bring down the curtain, la la la, <br>
Bring up the curtain, la la la, <br>
Hi-ho, the glamorous... <br>
<br>
[DESIREE]<br>
<br>
Life!<br>
