Lady Charlotte lyrics

Lady Charlotte makes demands

Snaps her fingers and commands

All she sees it's all she knows

But day by day her sadness grows

Lady Charlotte lose your crown

Our stairs go neither up, nor down

Our loving care, cannot be bought

And silver spoons they count for naught

The smile of she who serves you tea

May be the last you ever see

May be the one to make you whole

Salve your body, calm your soul

Lady Charlotte speaks her mind

Says decent help is hard to find

One has to let them know who's boss

And draw the lines they mustn't cross

But like a child lies listening for

That gentle knock upon their door

The voice, the warmth, the pure delight

Of strangers wishing her goodnight

The smile of she who serves you tea

May be the last you ever see

May be the one to make you whole

Salve your body, calm your soul

The smile of she who serves you tea

May be the last you ever see

May be the one to make you whole

Salve your body, calm your soul

(la la la la, la la la la, la la la la la la la la la la la la la)

Salve your body, calm your soul
