To Keep My Love Alive Lyrics by Richard Rodgers, Mary Martin

Mary Martin Sings Richard Rodgers Plays

[Intro]
I've been married and married
And often I've sighed
I'm never a bridesmaid
I'm always the bride
I never divorced them
I hadn't the heart
Yet remember these sweet words
"'Til death do us part"
[Verse 1]
I married many men, a ton of them
Because I was untrue to none of them
Because I bumped off every one of them
To keep my love alive
[Verse 2]
Sir Paul was frail, he lookеd a wreck to me
At night he was a horsе's neck to me
So I performed an appendectomy
To keep my love alive
[Bridge]
Sir Thomas had insomnia
He couldn't sleep at night
I bought a little arsenic
He's sleeping now all right
[Verse 3]
Sir Philip played the harp, I cussed the thing
I crowned him with his harp to bust the thing
And now he plays where harps are just the thing
To keep my love alive
To keep my love alive
[Verse 4]
I thought Sir George had possibilities
But his flirtations made me ill at ease
And when I'm ill at ease, I kill at ease
To keep my love alive
[Verse 5]
Sir Charles came from a sanatorium
And yelled for drinks in my emporium
I mixed one drink, he's in memoriam
To keep my love alive
[Bridge]
Sir Francis was a singing bird
A nightingale, that's why
I tossed him off my balcony
To see if he could fly
[Verse 6]
Sir Athelstane indulged in fratricide
He killed his dad and that was patricide
One night I stabbed him by my mattress side
To keep my love alive
To keep my love alive
