A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder Ensemble - Foolish to Think lyrics

MONTY: Pigs might fly Foolish to think she would marry you Why would she sink so low? You've only a claim to a noble old name Who could blame her for saying no? Foolish to dream she's in love with you You're a fool to believe that kiss The man who inspires such breathless desires Well, that's the man to dismiss Foolish to hope she would ever see All that you really are A man with no trade is no match I'm afraid For a blade in a motor car He'll go far Foolish to pray you will ever be The fellow she might prefer Let's have a drink It's foolish to think You'll ever stop loving her On a mythical scale, the D'Ysquiths prevail On a hill just outside of town In a castle they love That is so far above They're accustomed to looking down And the family ordains That the blood in my veins Is more than a trifle impure They conspired with each other Condemning poor mother To a heartbreaking life she could hardly endure With no conscience or care They disposed of an heir to their glorious family tree Do I lie down and die? Or determine to try to alter the course of my destiny? Otherwise what will become of me? Am I foolish to think that I could ever be Will I never be more than I am today? I can see me as man of respect You could never detect Had once been so heartlessly cast away Am I foolish to dream I'll be Earl one day? A towering man among men? Then who could deny Now and then, pigs can fly? Who will look foolish then? Who will look foolish Then?
