This Year of Grace the Musical - Love, Life and Laughter Lyrics
Music and lyrics by Noël Coward.
LA FLAMME:
Hark to the music enthralling, appalling,
It dies away, and then-
RUPERT:
Women like you, so inviting, exciting,
Play fast and loose with men.
Fate has smiled on our meeting,
Feel my pulse madly beating.
LA FLAMME:
Call for more drinks,
This is what the world thinks
Is La Vie Parisienne.
BOTH:
Love, life and laughter,
To the devil with what comes after.
RUPERT:
Hearts are on fire
With the flame of desire.
LA FLAMME:
Lovers surrender
Regardless of gender.
Away care and sorrow,
Never worry about tomorrow.
BOTH:
We will rule passion's kingdom for a day.
For that's just the Bohemian way.
RUPERT:
Teach me the bliss of profanity's kiss
As we sway beneath the moon.
LA FLAMME:
Lovers may sip
Passion's wine from my lip
To a gay romantic tune.
RUPERT:
Cupid's dart has impaled me,
All my breeding has failed me,
I want to smite you and beat you and bite you
And swoon and swoon and swoon.
BOTH:
Love, life and laughter,
To the devil with what comes after.
RUPERT:
Here is my heart, you can tear it apart,
Nothing suffices but decadent vices.
BOTH:
And mirth, folly, madness,
Never giving a thought to sadness.
LA PLAMME:
If you told me to die I should obey.
BOTH:
For that's just the Bohemian way.
