starring Phelicity Marie Dauphine




One of my fafurite characters is Miss Adelaide in the show Guys and Dolls. She's been waitin
14 years fur Nathan Detroit to marry her, but he's always runnin off to gamble instead.
I kinda know how she feels, that's how old I am. In fact...........



Adelaide's Lament

I've waited four-teen years fur that phone call an he doesn't phone,
I been ready to settle down in a place we could call our own,
But the minute there's any cwap games around I gets left alone,
a kitty could develop a cold.

In offur woids, just from waitin around fur dat plain liddle band of gold,
a kitty could develop a cold. *kat-chooo!*

Mew can make wif da alkie-seltzer an da bromo-fizz,
But da medicine nefur gets anywheres near where da trouble is,
When mew's got a appurrciative audience but dem eyes ain't his,
a kitty could develop a cold.

In offur woids, just from waitin an waitin an waitin till I gets old,
a kitty can develop a baaaad *snuffle* baaaaaad *koff* coooolllllld *kat-choo!*

Take Back Your Mink



Take back your mink, take back your pearls.
What made mew think dat I was onna dem girls?
Take back the gown, the shoes an the hat.
I'm just a cat, but I knows better dan dat.

I thought that mew was generous and purrlite,
and the best choice I could make,
But now I knows from how mew acted last night
it's all been a awful mistake!



Sooooo....
Take back your mink, take back your pearls,
What made mew think dat I was onna dem girls?
Take back the gown, the shoes an the hat.
I'm just a cat, but I knows better dan dat!


Thank mew fur coming to see me as Miss Adelaide!
