Noël Coward
Poor Little Rich Girl
Poor little rich girl, you're urban wish girl, better beware
Laughing at danger, virtual stranger, better take care
The life you lead sets all your nerves a-jangle
Your love affairs are in hopeless tangle
Thought you're a child, dear, your life's a wild typhoon
In lives of leisure, the craze for pleasure, steadily grows
Cocktails and laughter, but what comes after? Nobody knows
You're weaving love into a magic pattern
You crawl from room to room
Poor little rich girl, don't drop a stitch too soon
You're only a baby
You're lonely and maybe
Someday soon you'll know
By dancing much faster
You're chancing disaster
Time alone will show
Poor little rich girl, you're urban wish girl, better beware
Laughing at danger, virtual stranger, better take care
You're weaving love into a magic pattern
You crawl from room to room
Poor little rich girl, don't drop a stitch too soon
