Testo Necessity is the Mother of Invention - Christine Ebersole feat. Patti LuPone & War Paint Original Broadway Company
Testo della canzone Necessity is the Mother of Invention (Christine Ebersole feat. Patti LuPone & War Paint Original Broadway Company), tratta dall'album War Paint (Original Broadway Cast Recording)
Low sales, high rent
No sandalwood for scent
Well, pardon my dust, but Arden
Isn't folding up her tent
Necessity is the mother of invention
I will think up new things to invent
No silk for bows
No nylon left for hose
American ingenuity
Can compensate for those
Necessity is the mother of invention
And in war we must be on our toes
Launch all new lines
New products made for war
Bold new designs
They've never seen before
Both sea and land and the airfield
Are working women's corps
They're ladies who bolt the rivets
On the airplane factory floor
Before I call it quits
I'll give 'em my two bits
What more have I ever needed
Than the sharpness of my wits?
America is in it
Let working women win it
In makeup of the minute, women win
Necessity is the mother of invention
Let the fight of the century begin
Attention, all you brave gals pining at home or shipping overseas
You've got a brand new ally and her name is Helena Rubenstein!
All metal tubes and cases
For lipstick, rouge and faces
Are needed now for bullets for the war
New plastics I invented
Now lipsticks won't get dented
Not even when you drop them on the floor
(Spoken)
Right?
Miss Elizabeth Arden. Patriot
With nylon stockings rationed
I truly felt impassioned
And cleverly refashioned women's hose
Draw seams with eyebrow pencil
And in between use stencil
New leg tan in a formula that flows
And once it dries it won't discolor clothes
You'll float on air in Heaven Scent
A fragrance free of lead
A lipstick for your uniform
Called Moctezuma Red
Assembly lines use Rubenstein's
New bullet-proof mascara
The WACs use Arden combat packs
Traversing the Sahara
Through thick and thin
Manila to Berlin
Are helping defend our freedom
From the enemy within
America will make it
No enemy can break it
With makeup made to take it on the chin
Necessity is the mother of invention
Brains and brawn
Brains and brawn
Dusk to dawn
Women win!
