[00:03.73]Thus all fairy stories end
[00:07.25]Only an actress would pretend
[00:10.53]Affairs of state are her latest play
[00:14.08]Eight shows a week, two matinees
[00:17.90]My, how the worm begins to turn
[00:21.91]When will the chorus girl ever learn?
[00:25.85]My, how the worm begins to turn
[00:29.74]When will the chorus girl ever learn?
[00:35.18]The chorus girl hasn't learned the lines you'd like to hear
[00:42.51]She won't go scrambling over the backs of the poor to be accepted
[00:51.75]By making donations just large enough to the correct charity
[01:01.30]She won't be president of your wonderful societies of philanthropy
[01:11.10]Even if you asked her to be
[01:15.08]As you should have asked her to be
[01:20.40]The actress hasn't learned the lines you'd like to hear
[01:27.15]She won't join your clubs, she won't dance in your halls
[01:34.45]She won't help the hungry once a month at your tombolas
[01:41.27]She'll simply take control as you disappear
[01:48.65]Forgive my intrusion, but fine as those sentiments sound
[01:55.58]Little has changed for us peasants down here on the ground
[02:07.83]I hate to seem childish, ungrateful
[02:12.01]I don't like to moan
[02:15.05]But do you now represent anyone's cause but your own?
[02:24.80]Everything done will be justified by my foundation
[02:31.69]
