Beverley Knight - Marvellous Party

I went to a marvellous party
With Noonoo, and Nada, and Nell
It was in the fresh air
And we went as we were
And we stayed as we were, which was hell
Grace started singing at midnight
She didn't stop singing 'til four
We knew the excitement was bound to begin
When Laura got blind on Dubonnet and gin
And scratched her veneer with a Cartier pin
I couldn't have liked it more (More)
I went to a marvellous party
I went to a marvellous party
I went to a marvellous party
I couldn't have liked it more
I went to a marvellous party
I went to a marvellous party
When Laura got blind on Dubonnet and gin
I couldn't have liked it more
I went to a marvellous party
We played the most wonderful game
Mo disappeared
And came back in a beard
And we all had to guess at her name
Cecil arrived wearing armour
Some shells and a black feather boa
Millicent wore a surrealist comb
Made of bits of mosaic from St. Peter's in Rome
But the weight was so great that she had to go home
And I couldn't have liked it more
I went to a marvellous party
(Went to a marvellous party)
I went to a marvellous party
And I couldn't have liked it more
I went to a marvellous party
(Went to a marvellous party)
The weight was so great that she had to go home
And I couldn't have liked it more
I've been to a marvellous party
I must say the fun was intense
We all had to do
What the people we knew
Might be doing a hundred years hence
We talked about growing old gracefully
And Alsie who's seventy-four
Said, A, it's a question of being sincere
B, if you're supple you've nothing to fear
Then she swung upside-down from a glass chandelier
And I couldn't have liked it more
I went to a marvellous party
I went to a marvellous party
I went to a marvellous party
And I couldn't have liked it more
I went to a marvellous party
I went to a marvellous party
A, it's a question of being sincere
B, if you're supple you've got nothing to fear
Then she swung upside-down from a glass chandelier
And I couldn't have liked it more
