Ella Fitzgerald To Keep My Love Alive Lyrics

To Keep My Love Alive Lyrics

I`ve been married, and married, and often I`ve sighed
"I`m never a bridesmaid, I`m always a bride"

I never divorced them, I hadn`t the heart
Yet remember these sweet words, "`till death do us part"

I married many men, a ton of them
Because I was untrue to none of them
Because I bumped off every one of them
To keep my love alive

Sir Paul was frail, he looked a wreck to me
At night he was a horse`s neck to me
So I performed an appendectomy
To keep my love alive

Sir Thomas had insomnia, he couldn`t sleep at night
I bought a little arsenic, he`s sleeping now all right

Sir Philip played the harp, I cussed the thing
I crowned him with his harp to bust the thing
And now he plays where harps are just the thing
To keep my love alive
To keep my love alive

(bridge)

I thought Sir George had possibilities
But his flirtations made me ill at ease
And when I`m ill at ease, I kill at ease
To keep my love alive

Sir Charles came from a sanitorium
And yelled for drinks in my emporium
I mixed one drink, he`s in memorium
To keep my love alive

Sir Francis was a singing bird, a nightingale, that`s why
I tossed him off my balcony, to see if he, could fly

Sir Atherton indulged in fratricide,
He killed his dad and that was patricide
One night I stabbed him by my mattress-side
To keep my love alive
To keep my love alive
To keep my love alive
