Blossom Dearie lyrics : "To Keep My Love Alive"

VERSE

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."

REFRAIN 1


I married many men,
A ton of them,

Because I was untrue to none of them
Because I bumped off ev'ry 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,
To keep my love alive.


REFRAIN 2
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.
