Where Is The Life That Late I Led (from "Kiss Me, Kate") Lyrics
Where Is The Life That Late I Led - Alfred Drake
Since I reached the charming age of puberty
And began to finger feminine curls
Like a show that's typically Shuberty
I have always a multitude of girls
But now that a married man at last am I
How aware of my dear departed past am I
Where is the life that late I led
Where is it now
Totally dead
Where is the fun I used to find
Where has it gone
Gone with the wind
A married life may all be well
But raising an heir
Could never compare
With raising a bit of hell
So I repeat what first I said
Where is the life that late I led
In dear Milano where are you Momo
Still selling those pictures of the Scriptures in the Duomo
And Carolina where are you Lina
Still peddling your pizza in the streets o' Taormina
And in Firenze where are you Alice
Still there in your pretty itty-bitty Pitti Palace
And sweet Lucretia so young and gay-ee
What scandalous doin's in the ruins of Pompeii
Where is the life that late I led
Where is it now
Totally dead
Where is the fun I used to find
Where has it gone
Gone with the wind
The marriage game is quite all right
Yes during the day
It's easy to play
But oh what a bore at night
So I repeat what first I said
Where is the life that late I
Where is Rebecca my Becki weckio
Again is she cruising that amusing Ponte Vecchio
Where is Fedora the wild virago
It's lucky I missed her gangster sister from Chicago
Where is Venetia who loved to chat so
Could still she be drinkin' in her stinkin' pink palazzo
And lovely Lisa where are you Lisa
You gave a new meaning to the leaning tow'r of Pisa
Where is the life that late I led
Where is it now
Totally dead
Where is the fun I used to find
Where has it gone
Gone with the wind
I've oft been told of nuptial bliss
But what do you do
A quarter to two
With only a shrew to kiss
So I repeat what first I said
Where is the life that late I led
