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>
