To Keep My Love Alive

To Keep My Love Alive - Blossom Dearie (布洛森·迪兒莉)

Written by：Lorenz Hart/Richard Rodgers

I've been married and married

And often I've sighed

I'm never a bridesmaid

I'm always the bride

I never divorced them

I hadn't the heart

Yet remember these sweet words

Till death do us part

I married many men

A ton of them

Because I was untrue to none of them

Because I bumped off every one of them

To keep my love alive

Sir paul was a frail

He looked a wreck to me

At night he was a horse's neck to me

So I performed an appendectomy

To keep my love alive

Sir thomas had insomnia

He couldn't sleep at night

I bought a little arsenic

He's sleeping now all right

Sir philip played the harp

I cussed the thing

I crowned with his harp

To bust the thing

And now he plays where harps are

Just the thing

To keep my love alive

I thought sir george had possibilities

But his flirtations made me I'll at ease

And when I'm I'll at ease

I kill at ease

To keep my love alive

Sir charles came from a sanatorium

And yelled for drinks in my emporium

I mixed one drink

He's in memorium

To keep my love alive

Sir francis was a singing bird

A nightingale

That's why

I tossed him off my balcony

To see if he could fly

Sir athelstane indulged in fratricide

He killed his dad and that was patricide

One night I stabbed him at my mattress side

To keep my love alive

To keep my love alive
