La Cage aux Folles movie - A LITTLE MORE MASCARA lyrics

rate me

<br>

Albin:<br>

Once again I'm a little depressed by the tired old face that I see,<br>

Once again it is time to be someone, who's anyone other than me.<br>

With the rare combination of girlish excitement and manly restraint,<br>

I position my precious assortment of pencils and powders and paint.<br>

So whenever I feel that my place in the world is beginning to crash,<br>

I apply one great stroke of Mascara to my rather limp upper lash.<br>

And I can cope again, Good God! There's hope again!<br>

When life is a real bitch again, and my old sense of humor has up, and gone<br>

It's time for the big switch again, I put a little more Mascara on.<br>

When I count my crow's feet again, and tired of this perpetual marathon,<br>

I put down the john-seat again, and put a little more Mascara on.<br>

And ev'rything's sparkle dust, bugle beads, ostrich plums,<br>

When it's a beaded lash that you look through,<br>

'Cause when I feel glamorous, elegant, beautiful,<br>

The world that I'm looking at's beautiful too!<br>

When my little road has a few bumps again,<br>

And I need something level to lean upon,<br>

I put on my sling pumps again,<br>

And wham! This ugly duckling is a swan!<br>

So when my spirit starts to sag,<br>

I hustle out my highest drag,<br>

And put a little more mascara on.<br>

And ev'rything's ankle straps, Maribou, Shalimar!<br>

It's worth socking in my gut, and girdling my rear.<br>

'Cause ev'rything's ravishing, sensual, fabulous!<br>

When Albin is tucked away, and, ZaZa is here!<br>

When ev'rything slides down the old tubes again,<br>

And when my self esteem has begun to drift,<br>

I strap on my fake boobs again,<br>

And literally give myself a lift.<br>

So when it's cold and when it's bleak,<br>

I simply rouge the other cheek, <br>

For I can face another day<br>

In slipper satin lingerie.<br>

To make depression disappear,<br>

I screw some rhine stones on my ear, <br>

And put my brooches and tiara, <br>

And a little more mascara on<br>

Albin: Company:<br>

Sparkle dust, bugle beads, <br>

Ankle straps, Maribou...On! Ankle straps, Maribou, <br>

Ostrich plumes, Shalimar, <br>

Ravishing, fabulous, on! Ravishing, fabulous, on!<br>

<br>
