The Actress Hasn`t Learned (the Lines You`d Like To He Lyrics

ARISTOCRACY

 Thus all fairy stories end

 Only an actress would pretend

 Affairs of state are her latest play

 Eight shows a week two matinees

 My how the worm begins to turn

 When will the chorus girl ever learn?

 My how the worm begins to turn

 When will the chorus girl ever learn?

 

 EVA

 The chorus girl hasn't learned the lines you'd like to hear

 She won't go scrambling over the backs of the poor to be

         accepted

 By making donations--just large enough--to the correct

         charity

 She won't be president of your wonderful societies of

         philanthropy

 Even if you asked her to be

 As you should have asked her to be

 

 The actress hasn't learned the lines you'd like to hear

 She won't join your clubs, she won't dance in your halls

 She won't help the hungry once a month at your tombolas

 She'll simply take control as you disappear

 

 CHE

 Forgive my intrusion but fine as those sentiments sound

 Little has changed for us peasants down here on the

         ground

 I hate to sound childish, ungrateful, I don't like to moan

 But do you now represent anyone's cause but your own?

 

 EVA

 Everything done will be justified by my Foundation
