Oil, oil, oil The money rolled in and I rolled out with a fortune piled so high Washington was my destination And now who am I? I'm the chosen party giver For the White House clientele And they know that I deliver What it takes to make 'em jell And in Washington I'm known by one and all As the hostess with the mostes' on the ball They could go to Elsa Maxwell When they had an axe to grind They could always grind their axe well At the parties she designed Now the hatchet grinders all prefer to call On the hostess with the mostes' on the ball I've a great big bar and good caviar Yes, the best that can be found And a large amount in my bank account Wen election time comes 'round If you're feeling presidential You can make it, yes, indeed There are just three things essential Let me tell you all you need Is an ounce of wisdom and a pound of gall And the hostess with the mostes' on the ball An Ambassador has just reached the shore He's a man of many loves An important gent from the Orient To be handled with kid gloves He can come and let his hair down Have the best time of his life Even bring his new affair down Introduce her as his wife But she mustn't leave her panties in the hall For the hostess who's the hostess with the mostes' on the ball [Encore:] I've been highly complimented And I thank you what is more You'll be damned well represented By your new ambassador For my one ambition is to make them fall For the hostess with the mostes' on the ball In the handbag that I'll carry There's a precious little note To their highnesses from Harry Introducing me he wrote: "I'll appreciate a favor large or small For the hostess with the mostes' on the ball" There'll be no mistakes, I've got what it takes To make friends across the sea I'll make being smart an important part Of my foreign policy I'll cement our good relations When I give my first affair There'll be special invitations To the Duke and Duchess there Who's already written asking them to call Not the priestess with the leastes' But the hostess who's the hostess with the mostes' on the ball Related Lyrics Random lyrics: I Cant Tell A Lie, I Didnt Go Home At All (13 Mar 1909), I Dont Wanna Be Married, I Just Wanna Be Friends, I Got Lost In His Arms, I Got The Sun In The Morning, I Just Came Back To Say Good Bye (8 Dec 1909), I Keep Running Away From You (1957), I Left My Door Open And My Daddy Walked Out (1919), I Left My Heart At The Stage Door Canteen, I Love A Piano, I Love To Quarrel With You (10 Feb 1914), I Love You More Each Day (19 May 1910), I Never Had A Chance (1934), I Poured My Heart Into A Song, I Say Its Spinach (And The Hell With It), I Threw A Kiss Into The Ocean (1942), I Used To Be Color-Blind, I Used To Play It By Ear (1965), I Want To Be In Dixie (18 Jan 1912), I Want To Go Back To Michigan (Down On The Farm) (, I Wish That You Was My Gal, Molly (14 Oct 1909), Id Like My Picture Took, Id Rather Lead A Band, Ill Capture Her Heart, Ill See You In C-U-B-A (1920), Ill Share It All With You, Im A Bad, Bad Man, Im A Happy Married Man (2 May 1910), Im Afraid, Pretty Maid, Im Afraid (6 Feb 1912), Im An Indian Too, Im Beginning To Miss You (1949), Im Getting Tired So I Can Sleep, Im Going On A Long Vacation (12 Oct 1910), Im Marching Along With Time (1938), Im On My Way Home (1926), Im Playing With Fire (1932), Im Putting All My Eggs In One Basket, Im Sorry For Myself, Ive Got A Sweet Tooth Bothering Me (1916), Ive Got My Captain Working For Me Now (1919), Ive Got My Love To Keep Me Warm, Ive Got Plenty To Be Thankful For, Ive Got To Have Some Lovin Now (4 Mar 1912), If All The Girls I Knew Were Like You (15 Nov 1912, If I Had My Way, Id Live Among The Gypsies (1917), If I Had You (1 May 1914), If I Thought You Wouldnt Tell (14 Oct 1909), If Thats Your Idea Of A Wonderful Time (22 Jun 19, If The Managers Only Thought The Same As Mother (1, If You Believe (1940), Other Berlin Irving song Lyrics (I Wonder Why) Youre Just In Love Lyrics Abie Sings An Irish Song (15 May 1913) Lyrics Abraham Lyrics After The Honeymoon (23 Aug 1911) Lyrics After You Get What You Want, You Dont Want It (19 Lyrics Alexander And His Clarinet (19 May 1910) Lyrics Alexanders Bag-Pipe Band (10 Feb 1912) Lyrics Alexanders Ragtime Band (18 May 1911) Lyrics All Alone (1924) Lyrics All By Myself (1921) Lyrics All Of My Life (1944) Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Irving Berlin Lyrics Berlinda Carlisle Lyrics Berman Jacqueline Lyrics Bern Dan Lyrics Bernadette Larson Lyrics Bernadette Peters Lyrics Bernadette Peters F/ Billy Joel Lyrics Butler Bernard Lyrics Bernard Butler Lyrics Bernard Crystal Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
