[MYRTLE]
When my husband George proposed to me
I couldn't help but panic
Never in my wildest fantasy
Did I marry a mechanic
But Georgie said, "We'll strike it rich, you'll see
For I am what you call an up-and-comer"
And so I gave the boy a chance, prayed he would advance
At least he's not a plumber
When I saw him walking down the aisle
He actually looked cute
I couldn't help but crack a smile
He had bought himself a suit
I let him put a ring on me, and gee
He looked so handsome in his bib and tucker
I promised him fidelity for еternity
And boy was I a sucker
It was a second-hand suit, ha
Hе had to borrow a suit for our wedding day
His dreams were all a mirage
And now I live above a garage
I met Mr. Buchanan on a train
He looked just like a lion
[TOM]
Roar
[MYRTLE]
Sittin' at the top of the food chain
I tell you, sparks were flyin'
From the minute that we met
[TOM & MYRTLE]
Kismet
We both knew that it was now or never
[MYRTLE]
On the way to the hotel, all I thought was
"Hell, you can't live forever"
It's bad enough that I was born
To live among the lowest on the ladder
I married up and never left the bottom rung
But now it doesn't matter
You make a vow to stick through thick and thin
And then you learn the vow's a bunch of twaddle
If you hate the wreck you're in, screw the thick and thin
And look for a new motto
[ENSEMBLE]
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah!
[MYRTLE]
Ooh!
[ENSEMBLE]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!
[MYRTLE]
I'm done with second-hand suits
[ENSEMBLE]
Oh-oh-oh
Ah!
[MYRTLE]
I'm done with second-hand suits on a wedding day
[ENSEMBLE]
She won't settle
[MYRTLE]
No more settling for less
I'll live a life of dressing
[MYRTLE & ENSEMBLE]
To impress
[MYRTLE]
Oh, time for life at The Ritz
Tell George I'm calling it quits
I've finally found, woo
Something that fits
[ENSEMBLE]
Doo, doo-doo
Doo-doo
Doo-doo, doo-do-do
Doo, doo-do-do
Doo-doo
[MYRTLE]
Oh, something that fits

--In musical, Myrtle tell all of this things to Nick Carraway, as she tells this story Tom Buchanan, Nick Carraway and Myrtle are traveling to "The Met" with Tom's car. Also in this scene Myrtle buys a dog and makes many lavish purchases includes new dresses for herself. I wanted to give you this information so that you can imagine the scenes while listening to song.
