Glitter and Be Gay Lyrics – Lisa Vroman

Singer: Lisa Vroman
Title: Glitter and Be Gay

Glitter and be gay
That’s the part I play
Here am I in Paris, France
Forced to bend my soul

To a sordid role
Victimized by bitter, bitter circumstance
Alas, for me!
Had I remained

Beside my lady mother
My virtue had remained unstained
Until my maiden hand was gained
By some Grand Duke or other

Ah, ’twas not to be
Harsh necessity
Brought me to this gilded cage
Born to higher things

Here I drop my wings, ah!
Singing of a sorrow nothing can assuage
And yet, of course, I’d rather like to revel, ha ha!
I have no strong objection to champagne, ha ha!

My wardrobe is expensive as the devil, ha ha!
Perhaps it is ignoble to complain
Enough, enough
Of being basely tearful

I’ll show my noble stuff
By being bright and cheerful
Ha ha ha ha ha!
Ha!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Ha ha, ha ha, ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Ha ha, ha ha, ha ha ha ha!
Ha! Ha!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Pearls and ruby rings
Ah, how can worldly things
Take the place of honor lost?
Can they compensate

For my fallen state?
Purchased as they were at such an awful cost?
Bracelets, lavallieres
Can they dry my tears?

Can they blind my eyes to shame?
Can the brightest brooch
Shield me from reproach?
Can the purest diamond purify my name?

And yet, of course, these trinkets are endearing, ha ha!
I’m oh so glad my sapphire is a star, ha ha!
I’d rather like a twenty carat earring, ha ha!
If I’m not pure at least my jewels are!

Enough, enough
I’ll take the diamond necklace
And show my noble stuff
By being gay and reckless

Ha ha ha ha ha!
Ha!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Ha ha, ha ha, ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Ha ha, ha ha, ha ha ha ha!

Observe how bravely I conceal
The dreadful, dreadful shame I feel
Ha ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Ha! Ha!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha ha!
Ha!
Ha!

Ha ha!
Ha ha ha!
