To Keep My Love Alive Lyrics - Ella Fitzgerald

I've been married, and married, and often I've sighed 

"I'm never a bridesmaid, I'm always a bride" 

I never divorced them, I hadn't the heart 

Yet remember these sweet words, "'till death do us part" 

I married many men, a ton of them 

Because I was untrue to none of them 

Because I bumped off every one of them 

To keep my love alive 

Sir Paul was frail, he looked a wreck to me 

At night he was a horse's neck to me 

So I performed an appendectomy 

To keep my love alive 

Sir Thomas had insomnia, he couldn't sleep at night 

I bought a little arsenic, he's sleeping now all right

Sir Philip played the harp, I cussed the thing 

I crowned him with his harp to bust the thing 

And now he plays where harps are just the thing 

To keep my love alive 

To keep my love alive 

(bridge) 

I thought Sir George had possibilities 

But his flirtations made me ill at ease 

And when I'm ill at ease, I kill at ease 

To keep my love alive 

Sir Charles came from a sanitorium 

And yelled for drinks in my emporium 

I mixed one drink, he's in memorium 

To keep my love alive 

Sir Francis was a singing bird, a nightingale, that's why 

I tossed him off my balcony, to see if he, could fly 

Sir Atherton indulged in fratricide, 

He killed his dad and that was patricide 

One night I stabbed him by my mattress-side 

To keep my love alive 

To keep my love alive 

To keep my love alive
