Helen Of Troy 1918 sung by 'Delysia'

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 20 May 2002

Helen is my name, known to classic fame,
Reigning Queen of beauty and of fashion.
I'm the latest thing, Commoner or King,
Pester me with palpitating passion!
In the land of Greece I can get no peace,
Since I had my matrimonial flutter,
Here's the chorus they sing me night and day,
Till I have to hide behind the shutter:

Helen, Helen, Helen of Troy,
What is a man to do?
Helen, Helen, Helen of Troy,
I'd leave my Homer for you!
Helen, Helen, Helen of Troy,
You are our pride and joy!
Helen, Helen, Ev'rybody fell in
love with Helen of Troy!

Helen, Helen, Helen of Troy,
What is a man to do?
Helen, Helen, Helen of Troy,
I'd leave my Homer for you!
Helen, Helen, Helen of Troy,
You are our pride and joy!
Helen, Helen, Ev'rybody fell in
love with Helen of Troy!

Once I met a boy, when I went to Troy,
just to see my Auntie on a visit,
And I missed the tram, coming back again;
That is not unusual now is it?
But you should have heard how I got the bird
when my husband met me at the Greek end!
"Tell me where you've been!"
Oh, there was a scene when I answered
"Paris, for the weekend!"

Helen, Helen, Helen of Troy,
What is a man to do?
Helen, Helen, Helen of Troy,
I'd leave my Homer for you!
Helen, Helen, Helen of Troy,
You are our pride and joy!
Helen, Helen, Ev'rybody fell in
love with Helen of Troy!

Helen, Helen, Helen of Troy,
What is a man to do?
Helen, Helen, Helen of Troy,
I'd leave my Homer for you!
Helen, Helen, Helen of Troy,
You are our pride and joy!
Helen, Helen, Ev'rybody fell in
love with Helen of Troy!
