| [00:00.56] | Madeira M'Dear? (Live) - Flanders & Swann |
| [00:01.29] | Written by：Donald Swann /Michael Flanders |
| [00:09.91] | She was young she was pure |
| [00:11.57] | She was new she was nice |
| [00:13.11] | She was fair she was sweet seventeen |
| [00:15.87] | He was old he was vile |
| [00:17.29] | And no stranger to vice |
| [00:18.68] | He was base he was bad he was mean |
| [00:21.29] | He had slyly inviegled her up to his flat |
| [00:24.09] | To view his collection of stamps |
| [00:26.62] | And he said as he hastened to put out the cat |
| [00:29.41] | The wine his cigar and the lamps |
| [00:33.19] | Have some madeira m'dear |
| [00:36.17] | You really have nothing to fear |
| [00:38.77] | I'm not trying to tempt you that wouldn't be right |
| [00:41.40] | You shouldn't drink spirits at this time of night |
| [00:44.10] | Have some madeira m'dear |
| [00:46.52] | It's so very much nicer than beer |
| [00:48.99] | I don't care for sherry one cannot drink stout |
| [00:51.58] | And port is a wine I can well do without |
| [00:54.44] | It's simply a case of chacun á son gout |
| [00:57.96] | Have some madeira m'dear |
| [01:05.39] | Unaware of the wiles of the snake in the grass |
| [01:07.99] | Of the fate of the maiden who topes |
| [01:10.42] | She lowered her standards by raising her glass |
| [01:13.01] | Her courage her eyes and his hopes |
| [01:16.31] | She sipped it she drank it |
| [01:17.43] | She drained it she did |
| [01:18.94] | And he quietly refilled it again |
| [01:21.39] | And he said as he secretly carved one more notch |
| [01:24.13] | On the butt of his gold handled cane |
| [01:27.24] | Have some madeira m'dear |
| [01:29.92] | I've got a small cask of it here |
| [01:32.47] | And once it's been opened you know it won't keep |
| [01:35.10] | Do finish it up it will help you to sleep |
| [01:37.52] | Have some madeira m'dear |
| [01:39.78] | It's really an excellent year |
| [01:42.25] | Now if it were gin you'd be wrong to say yes |
| [01:45.08] | The evil gin does would be hard to assess |
| [01:48.45] | Besides it's inclined to affect my prowess |
| [01:51.18] | Have some madeira m'dear |
| [01:58.14] | Then there flashed through her mind what her mother had said |
| [02:00.55] | With her ante penultimate breath |
| [02:02.99] | Oh my child should you look at the wine that is red |
| [02:05.83] | Be prepared for a fate worse than death |
| [02:08.83] | She let go her glass with a shrill little cry |
| [02:12.62] | Crash tinkle it fell to the floor |
| [02:14.55] | When he asked what in heaven she made no reply |
| [02:16.54] | But put in a dash for the door |
| [02:18.81] | Have some madeira m'dear |
| [02:20.73] | Rang out down the hall loud and clear |
| [02:23.32] | A tremulous cry that was filled with despair |
| [02:25.39] | As she paused to take breath in the cool midnight air |
| [02:28.33] | Have some madeira m'dear |
| [02:30.64] | The words seemed to ring in her ear |
| [02:34.14] | Until the next morning she woke up in bed |
| [02:37.73] | With a smile on her lips and an ache in her head |
| [02:41.92] | And a beard in her earhole that tickled and said |
| [02:44.92] | Have some madeira m'dear |
