Pleasant Little Kingdom Lyrics - Follies |
Stephen Sondheim Songs from Musicals Follies the Musical - Pleasant Little Kingdom Lyrics
It's a pleasant little kingdom Full of pleasant little days, There are charities and lectures And flowers to raise. There are amateur dramatics And Quidditch matches, And I go to civic luncheons When there's someone to remind me And I study the piano And I never look behind me.
It's a merry little kingdom Full of merry little chores. Lots of gardening and fixing, All very outdoors. In the driveway is a sports car I shouldn't have bought.
And if on occasion I think about you I eliminate the thought.
So I read a little here And I sew a little there And the children disappear And the castle needs repair And I never shed a tear And I never turn a hair And then! It's a pleasant little kingdom Full of pleasant little things, Full of scintillating dinners With neighbouring kings. There's a castle in the country For weekends of rest And we entertain at parties In the little time remaining And we're entertained by others And it's very entertaining.
An efficient little kingdom, The dominion of the Queen, Where at any given moment The ashtrays are clean. There are many little battles Which never are fought.
And if on occasion I think about you, I eliminate the thought.
So I write another book And I head another drive And we take a trip we took And the dinner guests arrive, And unless you really look, You would think we were alive. And... God help me Sally , I've loved you all my life!
