Mame movie - GOOCH'S SONG lyrics

rate me

<br>

Agnes Gooch:<br>

With my wings resolutely spread, Missis Burnside,<br>

And my old inhibitions shed, Missis Burnside,<br>

I did each little thing you said, Missis Burnside,<br>

I lived! I lived! I lived!<br>

I altered the drape of a drop of my bodice<br>

And softened the shape of my brow;<br>

I followed directions<br>

And made some connections,<br>

But what do I do now?<br>

Who'd think this Miss Prim would have opened a window<br>

As far as her whim would allow;<br>

And who would suppose it was so hard to close it,<br>

Oh, what do I do now?<br>

I polished and I powdered and puffed myself,<br>

If life is a banquet I stuffed myself;<br>

I had my misgivings, but went on a field trip,<br>

To find out what living's about.<br>

My thanks for your training,<br>

Now I'm not complaining,<br>

But you left something out!<br>

Instead of wand'ring on with my lone remorse,<br>

I have come back home to complete the course,<br>

Oh, what do I do now?<br>

Missis Burnside,<br>

I traveled to hell in my new veneer,<br>

And look what I got as a souvenir;<br>

But still I'll defend you<br>

As guide and instructor,<br>

Would I recommend you and how.<br>

Although I was leery, I thrived on your theory,<br>

That life can be a wow!<br>

You said there's nothing wrong with a harmless smooch,<br>

So I'm gonna call him Burnside Gooch,<br>

But what do I do now?<br>

<br>
