Marlene Dietrich

Music by Andrew Potter
Lyrics by Wheeler Cole
©2019 Cole/Potter Music      

Wouldn’t it be great  … to reincarnate 
come back as a song … long after I’m gone
Born as a glove … looking D-love-ly
on Marlene Dietrich’s left hand

sit back and rewind … live life one more time
angels hide wings … in the spirit of things
a roll of the dice … and re-live my life
on Marlene Dietrich’s left hand

Film Noir sneaking around
covert lovers flirt underground
whispered question: do you think they are gay?
naughty selves all come out to play

To see and be seen … on the hand of a queen
cleaned white as snow … we’d go out to a show
with all the stars there … tiaras in hair
on Marlene Dietrich’s left hand 

Marlene had class …a flair for the flash
she kissed a girl … while looking out of this world
I wanna come back … and sing one more track
on Marlene Dietrich’s left’s hand

once you’re gone … Hey nobody knows
what comes next after the show
I hope to God when I get to act two
I’ll have something naughty to do

get out the popcorn … the decadent porn
the please and thanking … after the spanking
then coo like a dove … and I’ll be the glove
on Marlene Dietrich’s left hand
