Cole Porter - Where Is The Life That Late I Led? Lyrics
Since I reached the charming age of pubertyAnd began to think of feminine curlsLike a show that's typically ShubertyI have always had a multitude of girlsBut now that a married man at last am IHow aware of my dear departed past am IWhere is the life that late I led?Where is it now? Totally dead!Where is the fun I used to find?Where has it gone? Gone with the wind!A married life may all be wellBut raising an heir could never compareWith raising a bit of hellSo I repeat what first I saidWhere is the life that late I...In dear Milano, where are you Momo?Still selling those pictures of the scriptures in the duomoAnd Carolina, where are you, 'lina?Still peddling your pizza in the streets-a ToreminaAnd in Firenze, where are you Alice?Still there in your pretty itty-bitty pity palaceAnd sweet Lucretia, so young and gayWhat scandalous doings in the ruins of PompeiiWhere is the life that late I led?Where is it now? Totally dead!Where is the fun I used to find?Where has it gone? Gone with the wind!The marriage game is quite all rightYes during the day it's easy to playBut oh what a bore at nightSo I repeat what first I saidWhere is the life that late I...Where is Rebecca? My Becky-wecky-ohCould still she be cruising that amusing Pontevecchio?Where is Fedora, the wild virago?It's lucky I missed her gangster sister from ChicagoWhere is Venetia, who loved to chat so?Could still she be drinking in her stinking pink palazzo?And lovely Lisa, where are you Lisa?You gave a new meaning to the Leaning Tower of PizaWhere is the life that late I led?Where is it now? Totally dead!Where is the fun I used to find?Where has it gone? Gone with the wind!I've oft been told of nuptial blissBut what do you do at quarter to twoWith only a shrew to kiss?So I repeat what first I saidWhere is the life that late I led
