Sir Galahad-Sylvia McNair

[00:00.00]From Leave It To Jane (1917 Broadway Musical) [00:01.00]Music By Jerome Kern [00:02.00]Lyrics By P. G. Wodehouse [00:03.44] [00:04.10][Verse] [00:04.90]The days of chivalry are dead [00:06.82]of which in stories we have read, [00:08.64]When knights were bold [00:09.70]and acted kind o' scrappy: [00:12.12]When guys would take a lot of pains, [00:14.02]And fight all day to please the Janes; [00:15.99]And if their dame was tickled, [00:17.44]they was happy [00:19.70]But now the men are mild and meek, [00:21.96]and seem to have a yellow streak; [00:24.65]They never lay for other gents, [00:26.70]to flatten 'em, [00:28.52]They think they've done [00:29.50]a darned fine thing, [00:31.17]if they just buy the girl a ring [00:33.21]of imitation diamonds and platinum. [00:37.46][Burthen] [00:39.01]It makes me sort of sad [00:41.60]to read about Sir Galahad, [00:43.97]Sir Lancelot, And all of them today: [00:47.79]To amuse a girl and charm her, [00:49.90]They would get into their armor, [00:52.18]And they'd jump into the fray. [00:55.72]They called her lady love, [00:57.80]They used to wear her little glove, [00:59.86]And ev'rything the girl said went: [01:03.40]For them was the days [01:05.61]when a lady was a lady [01:07.45]and a gent was a perfect gent. [01:11.78][Verse] [01:13.19]Some night when they sat down to dine, [01:15.05]Sir Claude would say: That girl of mine [01:16.66]Makes ev'ry woman jealous [01:17.80]when she sees her: [01:20.11]Then someone else would yell "Behave! [01:21.83]Thou malapert and scurvy knave! [01:23.60]Or I will smite thee one upon the beezer! [01:27.02]And then next morning, if you please, [01:28.75]they'd dress in iron B. V. D's, And [01:30.56]mount a pair of chargers highly mettled [01:33.96]And when Sir Claude so fair and young, [01:35.58]got punctured in the leg or lung, [01:37.36]They looked upon the argument as settled. [01:40.97][Burthen] [01:42.68]It makes me sort of sad [01:45.72]to read about Sir Galahad, [01:48.25]Sir Lancelot, And all of them today: [01:51.81]To amuse a girl and charm her, [01:53.83]They would get into their armor, [01:55.96]And they'd jump into the fray. [01:59.51]They called her lady love, [02:01.70]They used to wear her little glove, [02:04.00]And ev'rything the girl said went: [02:07.32]For them was the days [02:09.24]when a lady was a lady [02:11.37]and a gent was a perfect gent. [02:15.09] [02:30.00]They called her lady love, [02:32.08]They used to wear her little glove, [02:34.57]And ev'rything the girl said went: [02:37.63]For them was the days [02:39.84]when a lady was a lady [02:42.00]and a gent was a perfect gent. [02:45.45]For them was the days [02:47.24]when a lady was a lady [02:49.10]and a gent was a perfect gent.
