The Private and Intimate Life of the House Dave Malloy (Ft. Gelsey Bell & Nicholas Belton)

[BOLKONSKY]
I’ve aged
I’ve aged so very much
I fall asleep at the table
My napkin drops to the floor

I’m full of childish vanities
I forget things
And I live in the past
I’ve aged so very much

People enjoy me though
I come in for tea in my old-fashioned coat and powdered wig
And I tell stories
And utter scathing critiques
This stern, shrewd old man
A relic of the past century
With his gentle daughter
Such a majestic and agreeable spectacle

[MARY]
But besides the couple of hours during which we have guests
There are also twenty-two hours in the day
During which the private and intimate life of the house continues
