The Countess and the Common Man

Lynn Ahrens, Stephen Charles

Ever since that first day I saw you at court
I knew I was beneath you

You were right, darling. You were

I noticed you across a room
The most exquisite rose
The tiniest tiara and
That haughty little nose
I flirted with you shamelessly

Or so the scandal goes
The Countess

And the common man
We tiptoed off to Peterhof
To have a royal fling

My husband was oblivious
Counts never know a thing!

And all of it was perfect

'Til you stole my diamond ring!

The Countess
And the common man

Cologne in the bedclothes
The pastry and wine

And under the table
Your foot touching mine

And how my heart beat
When you sent me "our sign"

I loved you

You loved me
And oh, it was simply

Divine

Who would have known
My little rose
We're back where we began

And I suppose
That you'll propose
Another sneaky plan!
Which I'll resist

Until you're kissed

For nothing's better than

The countess

And the common man

The countess
And the common man
