Marvellous Party - Beverley Knight

I went to a marvellous party

With noonoo, and nada, and nell

It was in the fresh air,

And we went as we were,

And we stayed as we were,

(which was hell)

Grace started singing at midnight,

And she didn’t stop singing 'til four

We knew the excitement was bound to begin

When laura got blind on dubonnet and gin

And scratched her veneer with a cartier pin!

I couldn’t have liked it more!

(More!)

I went to a marvellous party

I went to a marvellous party

I went to a marvellous party

I couldn’t have liked it more!

I went to a marvellous party

I went to a marvellous party

When laura got blind on dubonnet and gin

I couldn’t have liked it more!

I’ve been to a marvellous party

We played a wonderful game:

Maureen disappeared

And came back in a beard,

And we all had to guess at her name…

Cecil arrived wearing armour,

Some shells and a black feather boa

Millicent wore a surrealist comb

Made of bits of mosaic from st.

peter’s in rome,

But the weight was so great that she had to go home!

And i couldn’t have liked it more!

I went to a marvellous party

I went to a marvellous party

I went to a marvellous party

I couldn’t have liked it more!

I went to a marvellous party

I went to a marvellous party

But the weight was so great that she had to go home!

I couldn’t have liked it more!

I’ve been to a marvellous party

I must say the fun was intense;

We all had to do

What the people we knew

Might be doing a hundred years hence…

We talked about growing old gracefully,

And elsie who’s seventy-four

Said, «a) it’s a question of being sincere,

And b) if you’re supple you’ve got nothing to fear»

Then she swung upside-down from a chandelier!

And i couldn’t have liked it more!

I went to a marvellous party

I went to a marvellous party

I went to a marvellous party

I couldn’t have liked it more!

I went to a marvellous party

I went to a marvellous party

a) it’s a question of being sincere,

b) if you’re supple you’ve got nothing to fear

Then she swung upside-down from a chandelier!

I couldn’t have liked it more!
