Coco - Always Mademoiselle Lyrics

1969 Broadway
Coco the Musical - Always Mademoiselle Lyrics

The song was written by André Previn and Alan Jay Lerner.

COCO:
Is this a sample of the joyous state of motherhood?
A taste of what maternal happiness is?
If this is the reward,
Then I’m grateful to the Lord
That all I have been pregnant with is cresses.

I’m glad I live alone without humanity;
Safe from all the dangers of devotion.
I’ve a selfish interest in

How they cover up their skin.
Beyond that they can all jump in the ocean.

Thank God there’s no one always supervising me...
No one with a way of tenderizing me...

No one after whom I’m always cleaning...
Without whom life will barely have a meaning.

No one...
No one...

Clever Mademoiselle;
Brilliant Mademoiselle.
Everything that mattered s
She scattered away.
Dazzling Mademoiselle
In her golden shell.
Life is just a merry,
Solitary holiday.

Gone is all the love
She had so much of;
Never more to be.
Never more will she
Cast another spell.
Through the winder night,
Now she dims the light
From the lonely bed she made;
Wondering why in hell she stayed
Always Mademoiselle.

Who the devil cares
What a woman wears?
Is it worth a stitch
Ending up a witch
In a golden shell?

One is as one does;
And, by God, it was!
Life was as it had to be.
It was not too bad to be
Always Mademoiselle.
Right or wrong, I’m glad to be
Gabrielle Chanel.
