Lord Knows I'm Not A School Girl

This clip reminds me so much of my own life in the late 1960s. Oh, the parties that I attended! We have Yul Brynner in drag, in The Magic Christian (1969), singing, even better... lip-synching Peter Seller's voice, doing Noël Coward's Mad About The Boy. Can you spot all the celebs in this clip?

I'm mad about the boy
I know it's stupid to be mad about the boy
I'm so ashamed of it,
But must admit the sleepless nights I've had
About the boy

On the silverscreen
He melts my foolish heart in every single scene
Although I'm quite aware that here & there are traces of the cad
About the boy

Lord knows I'm not a fool girl, I really shouldn't care
Lord knows I'm not a school girl
In the fury of her first affair

Will it ever cloy
This odd diversity of misery & joy
I'm feeling quite insane & young again
& all because I'm mad about the boy

Mad about the boy,
It's pretty funny
But I'm mad about the boy.
He has a gay appeal that makes me feel
There's maybe something sad about the boy.


If I could employ
A little magic that will finally destroy
This dream that pains me & enchains me
But I can't because I'm mad...
I'm mad about the boy!

Noel Coward
1932
