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
