A Little Night Music Movie - Liaisons lyrics

Where I spent a somewhat infamous year,

At the villa of the Baron De Signac

I had ladies in attendance,

Fire-opal pendants...

Liaisons!

What's happened to them?

Liaisons today.

Disgraceful!

What's become of them?

Some of them

Hardly pay their shoddy way.

What once was a rare champagne

Is now just an amiable hock,

What once was a villa, at least,

Is "digs."

What once was a gown with train

Is now just a simple little frock,

What once was a sumptuous feast

Is figs.

No--not even figs--raisins!

Ah, liaisons!

Now, where was I?

Where was I?

Oh, yes...

At the palace of the Duke of Ferrara,

Who was prematurely deaf but a dear,

At the palace of the Duke of Ferrara

I acquired some position

Plus a tiny Titian...

Liaisons!

What's happened to them?

Liaisons today.

To see them--indiscriminate

Women, it

Pains me more than I can say,

The lack of taste that they display!

Where is style?

Where is skill?

Where is forethought?

Where's discretion of the heart?

Where's passion in the art?

Where's craft? A Little Night Music Movie - Liaisons - http://motolyrics.com/a-little-night-music-movie/liaisons-lyrics.html

With a smile

And a will

But with more thought,

I acquired a chateau

Extravagantly o-

Verstaffed.

Too many people muddle sex

With mere desire,

And when emotion intervenes

The nets descend.

It should on no account perplex,

Or worse, inspire;

It's but a pleasurable means

To a measurable end.

Why does no one comprehend?

Let us hope this lunacy's just a trend.

Now where was I?

Where was I?

Oh, yes...

In the castle of the King of the Belgians,

(We would visit through a false chiffonier)

In the castle of the King of the Belgians

Who, when things got rather touchy,

Deeded me a duchy...

Liaisons!

What's happened to them?

Liaisons today.

Untidy!

Take my daughter, I

Taught her, I

Tried my best to point the way.

I even named her

Desiree.

In a world where the kings are employers,

Where the amateur prevails

And delicacy fails

To pay,

In a world where the princes are lawyers,

What can anyone expect

Except to recollect Lia....

[She falls asleep.]
