Champagne Taste (as performed by Eartha Kitt)

Wanna take me cruising on an ocean liner to places I long to see
Well, with my champagne taste and your beer bottle pocket
don’t forget to write me when you get there in your row boat
when you paddle cross the sea without me

Do you see us dining on caviar and pheasant with descendants of royalty
Well, with my champagne taste and your beer bottle pocket
I’ll be having pheasant while you’re dining with the peasants
Dunking donuts in a diner without me

You say you have ambition to make my dream come true
Well, brother you just keep right on wishing and all of my dreams will come true
Without you

Do you see me in a Jaguar with all of the accessories and one of the accessories is you
Take back your Jaguar and accessories etcetera
And drive off into your dreams without me

And if I wanted diamonds you’d offer me breakfast at Tiffany’s
Luncheon at Cartier’s you’d recommend
You will have to work on something better than a zircon
Because your diamonds are this girl’s worst friend

You said you’d promise me anything to make my life a feast
You didn’t give me anything, not even

And it wouldn’t surprise me if Lady like Godiva
Counted on you to bring her the stole
When she couldn’t get those dresses she just let down all her tresses
And forgot she was a lady after all

So if you want me to be part of your permanent employ
Before my champagne fizzles come up with the real McCoy
Show me you can separate the man from the boy
Bring me a constant life of champagne taste . . . joy!
