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.
