Wouldn't It Be Loverly

Cassandra Wilson

Compositor: Alan Jay Lerner / Frederick Loewe

It's rather dull in town,
I think I'll take me
to Paree, hmm
The mistress wants to open up
the castle in Capri, hmm
Me doctor recommends
a quiet summer
by the sea, hmm, mmm
Wouldn't it be loverly?

All I want is a room somewhere
Far away from the cold night air
With one enormous chair
Oh, wouldn't it be loverly?

Lots of chocolate for me to eat
Lots of coal makin' lots of heat
Warm face, warm hands, warm feet
Oh, wouldn't it be loverly?

Oh, so lovely sittin'
abso-bloomin'-lutely still
I would never budge till spring
Crept over the window sill

Someone's head restin' on my knee
Warm and tender as he can be
Who takes good care of me
Oh, wouldn't it be loverly
Loverly, loverly, loverly, loverly

All I want is a room somewhere
Far away from the cold night air
With one enormous chair
Oh, wouldn't it be loverly?

Lots of chocolate for me to eat
Lots of coal makin' lots of heat
Warm face, warm hands, warm feet
Oh, wouldn't it be loverly?

Oh, so lovely sittin'
abso-bloomin'-lutely still
I would never budge till spring
Crept over the window sill

Someone's head restin' on my knee
Warm and tender as he can be
Who takes good care of me
Oh, wouldn't it be loverly
Loverly, loverly, loverly

Oh, wouldn't it be loverly
Loverly, loverly, loverly
Wouldn't it be loverly
