letra de the governess - john wesley harding

[verse 1]
i’m in love with the governess
she’s played by a beautiful actress
who looks so good in period dress
on sundays on tv
she cares for the child of a titled squire
who can’t control his base desires
he’ll beat his slaves when he retires
out in the colonies

[chorus]
and it’s not gonna get any better
no, it’s not gonna get any better
and it’s just like masterpiece theatre
since i met her, sincе i met the governеss
[verse 2]
she doesn’t know who her parents are
but her father had a dueling scar
she takes the child down to the spa
and they sit there all alone
they say her parents died at sea
perhaps she comes from royalty
i hope she’s not related to me
when the truth is finally known

[chorus]
and it’s not gonna get any better
no, it’s not gonna get any better
and it’s just like masterpiece theatre
since i met her, since i met the governess
since i met her, since i met the governess

[bridge]
do i love her?
of course i do
she has much better lines than you
do i need her?
read the script
she finds my note in her pillowslip
i offer my companionship
[verse 3]
the scoundrel will not set her free
till her ward is married to some marquis
he says he’ll take his whip to me
if i don’t stay away from her
the squire is played by martin sheen
but it’s my cameo that steals the scene
as she gets dressed behind the screen
and we elope to america

[chorus]
and it’s not gonna get any better
no, it’s not gonna get any better
till it’s just like masterpiece theatre
till i get her, till i get the governess
till i get her, till i get the governess

[outro]
