Charlotte Church - The Laughing Song Lyrics






My dear Marquis
Why must you be
So loathe to use your eyes
When you stop and stare
Take a lot more care
And closely scrutinise

My fingers, my ankles, my feet
Ha ha ha ha ha
How shapely and trim and petite
Ha ha ha ha ha
Both accent and inflection show polish to perfection
Such graces are the traces of our old elite
Such graces are the traces of our old elite

I marvel how a man like you
Could fail to see my blood was blue
What a friendly, ha ha ha
Situation, ha ha ha
What a startling, ha ha ha
Revelation, ha ha ha ha ha
What a friendly, ha ha ha
Situation, ha ha ha haaaa aaaa aaa aaaa
Ahhhh aaahhhhhh
Marquis, oh, what a wag you are

Profiles they say
Give the game away
When formed with classic grace
If the head on view
Isn't much to you
Then look at me side-face

What evidence more can there be, ha ha ha ha ha
I sing at soirees without fee, ha ha ha ha ha ha
Bestowing my attention
With lofty condescension
Such graces are the traces of a pedigree
Such graces are the traces of a pedigree

All's one to you, though I'm afraid
Because you love a parlour maid
What a friendly, ha ha ha
Situation, ha ha ha
What a startling, ha ha ha
Revelation, ha ha ha ha ha

What a friendly, ha ha ha
Situation, ha ha ha haaaa aaaa aaa aaaaa
Ahhhh aaahhhhhh ahhh aaahhh aahhh
Ahhhhh aaaaahhhhhh aaaaahhhhhhh
Ahhhhhaaaaahhhhhhaaaaahhhhhhh
Ahhhhhaaaaahhhhhhaaaaahhhhhhh
Ahhhhhaaaa
ahhhhhhaaaaahhhhhhh
Ahhhhhhhhhhh
aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

    The Laughing Song

    Charlotte Church

    From "die fledermaus"

    My dear marquis, why must you be,
    So loyal throughout your hours?
    When you stop and stare
    Take a lot more care
    And close this road to lies.

    My fingers, my ankles, my feet.
    Ha ha ha ha ha
    How shapely and trim and petite.
    Ha ha ha ha ha
    Both accent and inflection,
    She'll polish to perfection.
    Such graces,
    Are the traces of her old elite.
    Such graces,
    Are the traces of her old elite.

    I marvel how a man like you,
    Could fail to see my match burns for you.
    What a friendly, ha ha ha
    Situation, ha ha ha
    What a startling, ha ha ha
    Information, ha ha ha ha ha
    What a friendly, ha ha ha
    Situation, ha ha ha haaaa aaaa aaa aaaa
    Ahhhh aaahhhhhh
    Marquis I want to like you.

    Proof as they say,
    Gave the game away.
    Quaint fold with closing grace.

    If the head on you,
    Isn't much to you,
    Then who can't face thine face.

    What evidence, small cafe meet, ha ha ha ha ha
    I sing at suarees at your feet.
    Bestowing my attention
    With lofty condescension.
    Such graces,
    Are the traces of a pedigree.
    Such graces,
    Are the traces of a pedigree.

    As want to you that I'm afraid
    Because you love a parliament.
    What a friendly, ha ha ha
    Situation, ha ha ha
    What a startling, ha ha ha
    Revelation, ha ha ha ha ha

    What a friendly, ha ha ha
    Situation, ha ha ha haaaa aaaa aaa aaaaa
    Ahhhh aaahhhhhh ahhh aaahhh aahhh
    Ahhhhh aaaaahhhhhh aaaaahhhhhhh
    Ahhhhhaaaaahhhhhhaaaaahhhhhhh
    Ahhhhhaaaaahhhhhhaaaaahhhhhhh

  5. A.... S....

    Madnifico

  6. D.... 4....

    Nice attempt, although the ending is atrocious

    D.... 4....

    Try Patricia's youtube.com/watch?v=gFoet3qe6L0

  7. R.... B....

    Have a look at Adele's laughing song from the Sydney Opera House with Monique Brynnel

  8. N.... S....

    CHARLOTTE WAS A VERY GOOD YOUNG SINGER BUT SUCCUMBED TO THE USUAL TEEN TEMPTATIONS, WHICH AT THE MOMENT PATRICIA, PJ, SEEMS TO HAVE AVOIDED.
    ALL I WOULD SAY TO DENNIS IS, HAVE A LISTEN TO MS JANECKOVA'S VERSION.

    N.... S....

    Yes, Patricia is amazing! Great technique as well as range and beautiful voice. youtube.com/watch?v=gFoet3qe6L0

  9. N.... S....

    take a listen to the sensational version by patricia janeckova.

    N.... S....

    Norman Smithers yes I enjoyed every performance because I love all this songs. I hope you too 😊😊😊😙

    N.... S....

    THANK YOU,
    YES, THOSE ARE MY FAVOURITE SONGS ALONG WITH 'MEIN HERR MARQUIS'.
    ALSO DON'T FORGET 'ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST', WHICH SHE SANG WHEN SHE WAS 12 AND WON A TALENT SHOW WITH.
    THIS IS WHAT ATTRACTED SO MANY PEOPLE TO HER.
    DON'T MISS IT!

    N.... S....

    Norman Smithers yeah I saw her performance and thats the reason I heard her. I lover and admire her. She's so talented.

    N.... S....

    I THINK PJ IS STUDYING AT A MUSIC ACADEMY OR UNI BETWEEN GIGS BUT I'M NOT SURE.
    IF SHE WAS AMERICAN SHE WOULD BE A WORLD STAR RIGHT NOW,
    BUT IT SEEMS SHE IS NOT BEING RUSHED.
    HOWEVER BECAUSE OF HER ALL ROUND ABILITY, IT WON'T BE LONG BEFORE SHE BECOMES A MAJOR STAR.
    CHEERS.

    N.... S....

    Norman Smithers she is a star and she could be one of the greatest opera singers

  10. F.... Z....

    Hermoso Charlotte !! :D

  11. V.... ....

    i love her... but i believe she will be a great Pop singer rather than soprano singer.

    V.... ....

    VeNuS2910 she's already singing other stuff besides classical.. has been for yrs.. check out her material it's awesome

    V.... ....

  12. g.... b....

    At one time we heard her on so many programs. I really missed her and am very glad I found her music again. Her voice calms and relaxes me. We love you sweetie.

  13. B.... R....

    15 people didn`t like this, I really wonder what they were expecting.

  14. I.... D....
