Ella Fitzgerald - To Keep My Love Alive Lyrics
Ive been married, and married, and often Ive sighedIm never a bridesmaid, Im always a brideI never divorced them, I hadnt the heartYet remember these sweet words, `till death do us partI married many men, a ton of themBecause I was untrue to none of themBecause I bumped off every one of themTo keep my love aliveSir paul was frail, he looked a wreck to meAt night he was a horses neck to meSo I performed an appendectomyTo keep my love aliveSir thomas had insomnia, he couldnt sleep at nightI bought a little arsenic, hes sleeping now all rightSir philip played the harp, I cussed the thingI crowned him with his harp to bust the thingAnd now he plays where harps are just the thingTo keep my love aliveTo keep my love alive(bridge)I thought sir george had possibilitiesBut his flirtations made me ill at easeAnd when Im ill at ease, I kill at easeTo keep my love aliveSir charles came from a sanitoriumAnd yelled for drinks in my emporiumI mixed one drink, hes in memoriumTo keep my love aliveSir francis was a singing bird, a nightingale, thats whyI tossed him off my balcony, to see if he, could flySir atherton indulged in fratricide,He killed his dad and that was patricideOne night I stabbed him by my mattress-sideTo keep my love aliveTo keep my love aliveTo keep my love alive
