I've Been Invited to a Party Lyrics

1963 Broadway
The Girl Who Came to Supper the Musical - I've Been Invited to a Party Lyrics


Music and lyrics by Noël Coward.

I've been invited to a party.
Everyone will say,
'Who's that pretty girl?'
As they see me swirl
Round the floor
And before
The night is through
I'll be drinking champagne
Out of everyone's shoe.

People will murmur,
'But she's charming
What a lovely smile!
What a sense of style!'
Nobody will guess
That my dress
Is the one that I wear in Scene Three
And the whole Royal Court will agree
That the Belle of the Ball-is me.

The most entrancing waltz will be
The waltz the Prince will dance with me
And as we're floating
Cheek to cheek
The pressure of his hand
Will make me understand
There's really no necessity to speak.

Guests will cheer and cry 'Bravo!'
As round and round and round we go
And when the music comes to an end
He'll say-'Hey,
You've found a friendl'

I've been invited to a party
And when they've at last
Played the final dance
Someone will advance
And 1'11 wait
Till a stately Limousine
Drives me back through the sunrise to Camberwell Green
And when I write home to Milwaukee
Mom will have a fit
When she reads the bit
Saying that I danced with a Prince
And that since I've been asked round to tea.

Then she'll tell all the neighbours with glee
That the Belle of the Ball-was mel
