Kite and Key is a song in English
Kite and Key
The ambassador rises
To make a toast
"Here's to a man that we love as family
Our friend and host
Congratulations on his nomination
To the cabinet post"
She looks up from her steaming duckling crepes
Her moist eyes gleaming like the ripening grapes
In an overwrought still-life
The oddlot wife
Forever kite and key
Kite and key
A girl's best friend
The only friends she's known
Kite and key sisterhood can be powerful
"You'll never walk alone"
He's glaring at her
As their glasses clatter
He pictures her naked, apple in mouth
Trussed up and stuffed on a platter
Left alone half an hour and she's wasted again
Sloppy with gossipy chatter
And since just desserts are the spice of life
She packs some dirt in each slice of life
Her silver tongue blunt as a serving knife
The oddlot wife
Forever kite and key
Kite and key
A girl's best friend
The only friends she's known
Kite and key sisterhood can be powerful
"You'll never walk alone"
She sees thatlook of cool disgust that hardens in their eyes
And when he bows his head, how they all sympathize
They'll never know the philandering life he hid from her
Or the cruel things his cheap ambition did to her
But tonight she's cooked
The proverbial goose:
A little too much potassium chloride
In his foie-gras mousse
This should be the last that she'll ever bear
Of their smug abuse
But the nouvelle-Southwest savvy of her migas quiche
Is still wasted on the tinhorn tastebuds of these nouveau riche
She's feeling inclined to make a speech
"This oddlot life:
Forever kite and key"
Kite and key
A girl's best friend
The only friends she's known
Kite and key sisterhood can be powerful
"You'll never walk alone"
Kite and key
A girl's best friend
The only friends she's known
Kite and key sisterhood can be powerful
"You'll never walk alone"
