To Keep My Love Alive
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

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
Para mantener mi amor vivo
He estado casada, y casada, y a menudo he suspirado
Nunca fui dama de honor, siempre fui novia
Nunca me divorcié de ellos, no tenía corazón
Pero recuerda estas dulces palabras, 'hasta que la muerte nos separe'
Me casé con muchos hombres, un montón de ellos
Porque no fui infiel a ninguno de ellos
Porque me deshice de cada uno de ellos
Para mantener mi amor vivo
Sir Paul era frágil, parecía un desastre para mí
Por la noche era un dolor de cabeza para mí
Así que le hice una apendicectomía
Para mantener mi amor vivo
Sir Thomas tenía insomnio, no podía dormir por la noche
Compré un poco de arsénico, ahora duerme bien
Sir Philip tocaba el arpa, maldije la cosa
Lo coroné con su arpa para romper la cosa
Y ahora toca donde los arpas son lo adecuado
Para mantener mi amor vivo
Para mantener mi amor vivo
(Puente)
Pensé que Sir George tenía posibilidades
Pero sus coqueteos me ponían nerviosa
Y cuando estoy nerviosa, mato con facilidad
Para mantener mi amor vivo
Sir Charles venía de un sanatorio
Y pedía tragos en mi emporio
Preparé una bebida, ahora está en el recuerdo
Para mantener mi amor vivo
Sir Francis era un pájaro cantor, un ruiseñor, por eso
Lo lancé desde mi balcón, para ver si podía volar
Sir Atherton se entregó al fratricidio
Mató a su padre y eso fue parricidio
Una noche lo apuñalé junto a mi cama
Para mantener mi amor vivo
Para mantener mi amor vivo
Para mantener mi amor vivo
