Sail Away the Musical - Bronxville Darby And Joan Lyrics
Composer and lyricist Noel Coward.
We do not fear the verdict of posterity,
Our lives have been too humdrum and mundane,
In the twilight of our days
Having reached the final phase
In all sincerity
We must explain:
(Refrain 1:)
We're a dear old couple and we hate one another
And we've hated one another for a long, long time.
Since the day that we were wed, up to the present,
Our lives, we must confess,
Have been progressively more unpleasant.
We're just sweet old darlings who despise one another
With a thoroughness approaching the sublime,
But through all our years
We've been affectionately known
As the Bronxville Darby and Joan.
Our Golden Wedding passed with all our family,
An orgy of remembrance and rue,
In acknowledgement of this
We exchanged a loving kiss
A trifle clammily
Because we knew:
(Refrain 2:)
We're a dear old couple who detest one another,
We've detested one another since our bridal night,
Which was squalid, unattractive and convulsive
And proved, beyond dispute,
That we were mutually repulsive.
We're just sweet old darlings who torment one another
With the utmost maliciousness and spite,
And through all our years
We've been inaccurately known
As the Bronxville Darby and Joan.
(Refrain 3:)
We're a dear old couple and we loathe one another,
With loathing that engulfs us like a tidal wave,
With our deep sub-conscious minds we seldom dabble
But something must impel
The words we spell
When we're playing 'Scrabble'..
We're just sweet old darlings who abhor one another
And we'll bore each other firmly to the grave,
But through all our years we've been referred to more or less
As the Bronxville Porgy and Bess.
