Jane Eyre movie - Finer Things lyrics

rate me

BLANCHE

You have such exquisite taste

Chinese Chippendale

Walls swathed in festoons of silk

Such ornate detail

But there's one thing that is not in this hall

Edward - this house could use a wife!

We're lucky to live

In the great age of elegance

Poetry, opera and art

Sparing no expense

Rembrandt and Breughel and Bosch

In this room

With a rug from Chen Chou

That spent a thousand days on the loom

These are the finer things

And what is finer than a bride?

Pleasure and luxury

That only marriage can provide

The innuendo is implied

Chateau Lafitte twenty-eight

Oh! The perfect drink!

So much more drinkable now

Than last year, I think

Make no mistake

Like the taste of the wine

When it comes to a woman

You must scrutinize the vine

These are the finer things

And she must have what is her due

Priceless engagement rings

A family jewel, or maybe two

And, but of course, my darling - you!

Mozart and Schumann and Bach

Wrote the finest notes

Every cadenza delights

Every cadence floats

Music is glorious

But I declare

When it comes to a woman

Schumann just cannot compare

These are the finer things

That only beauty can supply

These are the finer things

And what's more beautiful than I?

For not a soul could give you more

Arpeggios and trills

Frolics and frills

Soon you will see

Of all your things

The very finest thing

Is me!
