GOSSIP AND SECOND GOSSIP
From "Gigi" (1958)
(Lyrics : Alan Jay Lerner / Music : Frederick Loewe)


These are sung by the chorus (patrons of Maxim's) early on and then later for Gaston's date 
with Gigi.

Gossip

There's that wretched man
Louis DeLaTour
With his latest horrible amour
Isn't she a mess?
Isn't she a sight?
Let's invite them out tomorrow night

Honore Lachaille
Honore Lachaille
With another twinkle in his eye
Isn't it a shame?
Isn't it a crime
Seeing him so happy all the time?

There's Gaston Lachaille
With his little friend
Is that passion never going to end?
Did you see her ring?
Not a bagatelle!
Dear Liane is doing very well

Second Gossip
There's Gaston Lachaille
With his latest belle
She should keep him busy for a spell
Isn't she a dream?
Isn't she a dear?
Oh, if only dear Liane were here

There's Gaston Lachaille
There's Gaston Lachaille
With the latest apple of his eye
Where could she be from?
Do you know her name?
She's a little young to play the game
