To Keep My Love Alive

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
I've been married, and married, and often I've sighed"I'm never a bridesmaid, I'm always a bride"I never divorced them, I hadn't the heartYet remember these sweet words, "'till death do us part"I married many men, a ton of themBecause I was untrue to none of themBecause I bumped off every one of themTo keep my love aliveSir Paul was frail, he looked a wreck to meAt night he was a horse's neck to meSo I performed an appendectomyTo keep my love aliveSir Thomas had insomnia, he couldn't sleep at nightI bought a little arsenic, he's sleeping now all rightSir Philip played the harp, I cussed the thingI crowned him with his harp to bust the thingAnd now he plays where harps are just the thingTo keep my love aliveTo keep my love aliveI thought Sir George had possibilitiesBut his flirtations made me ill at easeAnd when I'm ill at ease, I kill at easeTo keep my love aliveSir Charles came from a sanitoriumAnd yelled for drinks in my emporiumI mixed one drink, he's in memoriumTo keep my love aliveSir Francis was a singing bird, a nightingale, that's whyI tossed him off my balcony, to see if he, could flySir Atherton indulged in fratricide,He killed his dad and that was patricideOne night I stabbed him by my mattress-sideTo keep my love aliveTo keep my love aliveTo keep my love alive
