lyrics

Here is your baby,
Blunt as a spoon.
Sit him on your shoulder
And he'll be bigger than you.

Who be you, who will be you?

[Hidden track follows]...

Florence Foster Jenkins
In that gold silk gown,
Whose pattern raised the eyebrows
Of the tailor men uptown;
The world is wearing nylon and
A beatific frown;
Florence Foster Jenkins,
Will you come back down?

Florence Foster Jenkins
In that green room in the sky,
This world is full of stiffs
Who need to laugh until they cry,
And everyone's a critic
'Cos they're all afraid to try;
Florence Foster Jenkins,
Let your glad rag fly!

Florence Foster Jenkins,
Florence Foster Jenkins,
Ms Florence Foster Jenkins,
Hold your head up high.
