Lyrics

[00:05.44] Since I reached the charming age of puberty
[00:10.71] And began to finger feminine curls,
[00:14.06] Like a show that's typically Shuberty
[00:17.30] I have always a multitude of girls,
[00:20.71] But now that a married man, at last, am I,
[00:26.54] How aware of my dear, departed past am I.
[00:33.70] Where is the life that late I led?
[00:36.77] Where is it now? Totally dead.
[00:40.05] Where is the fun I used to find?
[00:43.28] Where has it gone? Gone with the wind.
[00:46.62] A married life may all be well,
[00:50.05] But raising an heir
[00:51.25] Could never compare
[00:52.03] With raising a bit of hell,
[00:53.34] So I repeat what first I said,
[00:56.28] Where is the life that late I...
[01:02.11] In dear Milano, where are you, Momo,
[01:08.58] Still selling those pictures of the Scriptures in the Duomo?
[01:13.56] And, Carolina, where are you, Lina,
[01:19.88] Still peddling your pizza in the streets o' Taormina?
[01:23.87] And in Firenze, where are you, Alice,
[01:30.89] Still there in your pretty, itty-bitty Pitti Palace?
[01:36.68] And sweet Lucretia, so young and gay-ee?
[01:43.85] What scandalous doin's in the ruins of Pompeii!
[01:50.62] Where is the life that late I led?
[01:53.77] Where is it now? Totally dead.
[01:56.96] Where is the fun I used to find?
[02:00.20] Where has it gone? Gone with the wind.
[02:03.64] The marriage game is quite all right,
[02:06.97] Yes, during the day
[02:07.97] It's easy to play
[02:08.73] But, oh, what a bore at night,
[02:10.29] So I repeat what first I said
[02:12.91] Where is the life that late I?
[02:19.28] Where is Rebecca, my Becki-weckio,
[02:25.76] Could still she be cruising that amusing Ponte Vecchio?
[02:31.47] Where is Fedora, the wild virago?
[02:37.78] It's lucky I missed her gangster sister from Chicago.
[02:42.89] Where is Venetia, who loved to chat so,
[02:49.70] Could still she be drinkin' in her stinkin' pink palazzo?
[02:55.21] And lovely Lisa, where are you, Lisa?
[03:01.86] You gave a new meaning to the leaning tow'r of Pisa.
[03:09.22] Where is the life that late I led?
[03:12.45] Where is it now? Totally dead.
[03:15.80] Where is the fun I used to find?
[03:19.14] Where has it gone? Gone with the wind.
[03:22.50] I've oft been told of nuptial bliss,
[03:26.33] But what do you do,
[03:27.34] A quarter to two,
[03:29.21] With only a shrew to kiss?
[03:31.23] So I repeat what first I said,
[03:33.90] Where is the life that late I led?
