Where Is The Life That Late I Led?

Where Is The Life That Late I Led? - Howard Keel/Betty Hutton

When at first aware of masculinity

I began to finger feminine curls

I became the toast of my vicinity

For I always had 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 is just a pain

And 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

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's 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

Could still she'd be 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 tower 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 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
