00:00She's never been enslaved by men, never been depraved by men,
00:18although we understand she's often craved by men.
00:27But to a special view I am beholden, these maestros make a tarnished world seem golden.
00:40And so to make my au revoirs complete, I'd like to pay a tribute to these musical elite.
00:57Gershwin and Porter, Novello Berlin, Coward and Rogers and Hart, serenades to red hot and blue,
01:12intolating lyrics to Boop, Boop, Boop, Boopie Doo, Frimmel and Romberg, De Silva and Kern, Hammerstein, Schuermann and Braun.
01:23I'm not their mistress and never the wife, but they're the wonderful men in my life.
01:33Noel and Ivor and Irving and George, Richard and Larry and Cole.
01:41From smooth as satin to sharp as a knife, they're all the wonderful men in my life.
01:50I've sung each note they ever wrote.
01:54I've knighted and dated, glad to Easter paraded.
01:59I've sang that I won't dance when week after week I'll be doing it cheek to cheek.
02:08You are the one. You're the tops when day is done.
02:14And I'm devastated that I can't say yes to playing either Porgy or Bess.
02:23Nevertheless, bring out the cymbals, the trumpets and drums.
02:30Come on and strike up the band.
02:34Keep Stravinsky and Gertrude Stein.
02:37I can't help loving those composers of mine.
02:45Gershwin and Porter, Novell or Berlin, deep in the heart of me under my skin.
02:51Frimmel and Romberg and Coward and Kern, I get a kick every time I return
02:57To all those wonderful men in my life.
03:10Gershwin, Porter, Novello, Berlin,
03:25Coward and Rogers and Hart.
03:33Who can replace them?
03:37Oh, what have I done?
03:40Throwing the script overboard.
03:46I'm quite determined, though doubts leave me rife,
03:52To bring a wonderful joy.
03:58There'll be a wonderful boy
04:06In my life.
