English Girls by Bernadette Peters Lyrics
He has got everything
But all he wants is me
He loves to hear me talk
How lucky can you be?
He loves to hear me say
"When does the post arrive?"
So I keep talking, I just keep talking
And he keeps saying he can't live without me
English girls get all their own way
English girls don't need much to say
An accent works wonders
That's why English girls do great in LA
Excuse me, I've got to go to the loo
The loo
Yes, from London
Oh, yes, we'd love to come to your party
He introduces me
To all his famous friends
They love to hear me talk
The talking never ends
He loves to hear me sing
"I could have danced all night"
And it's so easy, it couldn't be more easy
And he keeps saying he can't live without me
English girls get all their own way
English girls know just what to say
An accent works wonders
That's why English girls do great in LA
Oh, Mum, you can't imagine
In New York I didn't meet anyone from back home
But out here they're everywhere
There's a whole shop in Santa Monica just packed
With girls buying English newspapers and digestive biscuits
English girls sound ever so smart
English girls have got a head start
Joan Collins? I ask you
That's why English girls keep milking the part
English girls get all their own way
English girls are pampered all day
He loves me, I feel it, and it's lovely being loved in LA
People must buy hats in LA
I think I just may stay in LA
But all he wants is me
He loves to hear me talk
How lucky can you be?
He loves to hear me say
"When does the post arrive?"
So I keep talking, I just keep talking
And he keeps saying he can't live without me
English girls get all their own way
English girls don't need much to say
An accent works wonders
That's why English girls do great in LA
Excuse me, I've got to go to the loo
The loo
Yes, from London
Oh, yes, we'd love to come to your party
He introduces me
To all his famous friends
They love to hear me talk
The talking never ends
He loves to hear me sing
"I could have danced all night"
And it's so easy, it couldn't be more easy
And he keeps saying he can't live without me
English girls get all their own way
English girls know just what to say
An accent works wonders
That's why English girls do great in LA
Oh, Mum, you can't imagine
In New York I didn't meet anyone from back home
But out here they're everywhere
There's a whole shop in Santa Monica just packed
With girls buying English newspapers and digestive biscuits
English girls sound ever so smart
English girls have got a head start
Joan Collins? I ask you
That's why English girls keep milking the part
English girls get all their own way
English girls are pampered all day
He loves me, I feel it, and it's lovely being loved in LA
People must buy hats in LA
I think I just may stay in LA
