Lyrics
Georgine:
I so seldom go out nights
That I want to see the sights
I just long for dissipation
Long to dance the Hesitation
Want to be where fun is brewing
Want to see what folks are doing
There’s so much I want to see
And I’m safe as safe can be
While you’re chaperoning me
Baroness:
But there are certain things you shouldn’t see
Although I am with you
And places where you should not be
And things you shouldn’t do
Georgine:
Can’t do this! Can’t do that!
Why can’t I? Others do
Why not I? Tell me why?
What I can’t do, where I can’t go
Is just what I am crazy about
What I can’t see, what I can’t know
Is what I can’t live without
Where love is waiting, there I would wander
Ah, happiness in a found caress
Seeking just one we will understand
Where hearts are meeting, there I could ponder
Some fair day to see one awaiting me
One I have seen in love’s wonderland
In the dear love’s wonderland
