Once again
I'm a little depressed
by the tired old face
that I see
Once again it is time
to be someone
who's anyone
other than me
With the rare combination
of girlish excitement
and manly restraint
I position my precious
assortment of pencils
and powders and paint
So whenever I feel
that my place
in the world
is beginning to crash
I apply one great
stroke of mascara
to my rather limp
upper lash
And I can cope again
Good God!
There's hope again!
When life is a
real b***h again
and my old sense
of humour has upped
and gone
It's time for
the big switch again
I put a little more
mascara o...n
When I.., I count
my crow's feet again
and tire of this
perpetual marathon
I put down the
john-seat again
and put a little more
mascara on
And ev'rything's
sparkle dust
bugle beads
ostrich plumes
When it's a beaded lash
that you look through
'cause when I feel
glamorous, elegant
beautiful
The world that I'm
looking at is
oh it's beautiful too!
When my little road
has a few bumps again
and I need something
level to lean upon
I put on my sling
pumps again
and wham
this ugly duckling
is a swan!
So when my spirit
starts to sag I..
hustle out my
highest drag and put a
little more mascara on
And ev'rything's
ankle straps
Maribou, Shalimar!
It's worth sucking
in my gut
and girdling my rear
'Cause ev'rything's
ravishing, sensual
fabulous!
When Albin is
tucked away
and ZaZa is here!
When ev'rything slides
down the old tubes again
and when my self esteem
has begun to drift
I strap on my fake
boobs again
and literally give myself
a li..ft so when it's cold
and when it's bleak
I.. simply rouge the
other cheek for
I can face another day
in slipper satin lingerie
To make depression
disappear I screw some
rhine stones on my ear
and put my brooches
and tiara
And a little more
mascara o.....n
