Medley: F) Poor Little Rich Girl Lyrics - Singles - Noël Coward

Poor little rich girl, 

You're a bewitched girl, 

Better take care. 

Laughing at danger, 

Virtue a stranger, 

Better beware! 

The life you lead sets all your nerves a-jangle, 

You love affairs are in a hopeless tangle, 

Though you're a child, dear, 

Your life's a wild typhoon! 

In lives of leisure, 

The craze for pleasure 

Steadily grows; 

Cocktails and laughter, 

But what comes after? 

Nobody knows! 

You're weaving love into a mad jazz pattern, 

Ruled by Pantaloon, 

Poor little rich girl, 

Don't drop a stitch too soon! 

You're only a baby, 

You're lonely, and maybe 

Someday soon you'll know 

The tears you are tasting 

Are years you are wasting, 

Life's a bitter foe! 

With fate it's no use competing, 

Youth is so terribly fleeting; 

By dancing much faster 

You're chancing disaster, 

Time alone will show. 

Poor little rich girl, 

You're a bewitched girl, 

Better take care. 

Laughing at danger, 

Virtue a stranger, 

Better beware! 

The life you lead sets all your nerves a-jangle, 

You love affairs are in a hopeless tangle, 

Though you're a child, dear, 

Your life's a wild typhoon!
