Move Over Marlene!

MOVE OVER MARLENE!

This parody should spoken and sung in the unmistakable tones of the great Marlene Dietrich. The song 'Falling in Love Again' are well-known.

(Spoken Introduction)I used to be a little mouse,
Scurrying round my dirty house,
Looking for fluff beneath the double bed.
I'd scuttle up and down the stairs
Searching for those stray grey hairs,
And viewing every speck of dust with dread.
And then, like a lightning flash,
I learned how to be more rash.
The answer simply could not have been plainer!
I'd don a suspender belt!
In fishnets I'd look so svelte!
I'd dress up as that legendary Marlene!

To the tune of 'Falling in Love Again'

Washing the floors again, never wanted to!
What am I to do? I can't help it!
Windows unt doors again, till they look like new.
What am I to do? I can't help it!
Cobwebs unt mildew keep coming! What a shame!
And, if they linger, I'm really not to blame.
Washing the floors again, never wanted to!
What am I to do? I can't help it!

Scouring the pans again, never wanted to!
What am I to do? I can't help it!
Cleaning the cans again! Rubbish stuck like glue!
What am I to do? I can't help it!
Gravy unt custard keep clinging for dear life!
Though I attack them with wire-wool unt a knife!
Scouring the pans again, never wanted to!
What am I to do? I can't help it!

Washing the socks again, never wanted to!
What am I to do? I can't help it!
Pajamas unt frocks again, till they look like new!
What am I to do? I can't help it!
Undies unt shirt tails, a never-ending flow!
Stains by the dozen, above and down below!
Washing the socks again, never wanted to!
What am I to do? I can't help it!
