Gertrude Lawrence — Glamour Music: Oh Fabulous One / Huxley / Girl of the Moment

[MEN] Oh, fabulous one in your ivory tower Your radiance I fain would see What Mélisande was to Pelléas Are you to me [MAN 1] What Beatrice was to Dante What Guinevere was to Lancelot What Brünnhilde was to Siegfried What Pocahantas was to Captain Smith [MAN 2] What Martha was to Washington What Butterfly was to Pinkerton What Calamity Jane was to Buffalo Bill What Carmen was to Don José Are you to me [LIZA] Huxley wants to dedicate his book to me And Stravinsky his latest sonata Seven thousand students say they look to me To be at the Yale-Harvard Regatta [MEN] Oh, how lovely to be you! [LIZA] How splendid! [MEN] But it only is your due [LIZA] This must never be ended Epstein says I simply have to pose for him No refusing these artistic ultimata Du Pont wants me wearing the new hose for him Oh, how thrilling to be the world's inamorata! Oh, how thrilling to be the world's inamorata! [MEN] Oh, girl of the moment With the smile of the day And the charm of the week And the grace of the month And the looks of the year Oh, girl of the moment You're my moment every time
