Takes me back many years when this is one of the numbers my 1st voice teacher worked with me. I almost forgot that I sang this in a show long ago --- and got a really good audience response from it.
Since I reached the charming age of puberty And began to think of feminine curls Like a show that's typically Shuberty I have always had a multitude of girls But now that a married man at last am I How aware of my dear departed past am I Where is the life that late I led? Where is it now? Totally dead! Where is the fun I used to find? Where has it gone? Gone with the wind! A married life may all be well But raising an heir could never compare With raising a bit of hell So I repeat what first I said Where is the life that late I... In dear Milano, where are you Momo? Still selling those pictures of the scriptures in the duomo And Carolina, where are you, 'lina? Still peddling your pizza in the streets-a Toremina And in Firenze, where are you Alice? Still there in your pretty itty-bitty pity palace And sweet Lucretia, so young and gay What scandalous doings in the ruins of Pompeii Where is the life that late I led? Where is it now? Totally dead! Where is the fun I used to find? Where has it gone? Gone with the wind! The marriage game is quite all right Yes during the day it's easy to play But oh what a bore at night So I repeat what first I said Where is the life that late I... Where is Rebecca?

Totally dead! Where is the fun I used to find? Where has it gone? Gone with the wind! I've oft been told of nuptial bliss But what do you do at quarter to two With only a shrew to kiss?

Iowa boy done right. This is a really great version, I do however put the Brent Barrett version from the London revival at the top of my list, followed by a televised Robert Goulet one I saw ("Really?" "Yes, really.") Either way, no matter who does it I can't think of another 70 year old song that makes me smile and gets me moving like this one!
What I didn't like about Howard Keel's rendition was that he had to "sanitize" it for the film. Clark Gable could say, "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn" but Howard Keel couldn't sing "raising a bit of Hell."

I prefer Ben's version. His acting combined with the singing made me appreciate this one more. There are a couple of things Chris did that just didn't strike me right. Just another opinion.

Brilliant Cole Porter lyrics
Since I reached the charming age of puberty
And began to think of feminine curls
Like a show that's typically Shuberty
I have always had a multitude of girls
But now that a married man at last am I
How aware of my dear departed past am I
Where is the life that late I led?
Where is it now? Totally dead!
Where is the fun I used to find?
Where has it gone? Gone with the wind!
A married life may all be well
But raising an heir could never compare
With raising a bit of hell
So I repeat what first I said
Where is the life that late I...
In dear Milano, where are you Momo?
Still selling those pictures of the scriptures in the duomo
And Carolina, where are you, 'lina?
Still peddling your pizza in the streets-a Toremina
And in Firenze, where are you Alice?
Still there in your pretty itty-bitty pity palace
And sweet Lucretia, so young and gay
What scandalous doings in the ruins of Pompeii
Where is the life that late I led?
Where is it now? Totally dead!
Where is the fun I used to find?
Where has it gone? Gone with the wind!
The marriage game is quite all right
Yes during the day it's easy to play
But oh what a bore at night
So I repeat what first I said
Where is the life that late I...
Where is Rebecca? My Becky-wecky-oh
Could still she be cruising that amusing Pontevecchio?
Where is Fedora, the wild virago?
It's lucky I missed her gangster sister from Chicago
Where is Venetia, who loved to chat so?
Could still she be drinking in her stinking pink palazzo?
And lovely Lisa, where are you Lisa?
You gave a new meaning to the Leaning Tower of Piza
Where is the life that late I led?
Where is it now? Totally dead!
Where is the fun I used to find?
Where has it gone? Gone with the wind!
I've oft been told of nuptial bliss
But what do you do at quarter to two
With only a shrew to kiss?
So I repeat what first I said
Where is the life that late I led
AMAZING

Nothing will ever better this Orchestra's playing of the score
Goulet did it very well.
You must have missed Howard Keel
he aint no Howard keel but wel done I must say
But what about Alfred Drake?
I have only ever seen Howard Keel in this role. I shall check out Mr Drake
Liked both Drake and Keel. Hard to choose between them.
What I didn't like about Howard Keel's rendition was that he had to "sanitize" it for the film. Clark Gable could say, "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn" but Howard Keel couldn't sing "raising a bit of Hell."
You can see and hear the man wbo introduced this song Alfred Drake in.the 1958 tv performance.He was great .Also Goulet and Keel.

Giggs 'Spiderman' Official Lyrics & Meaning | Genius Verified
(Bridge 1)
In dear Milano, where are you Momo?
Still selling those pictures
Of the Scriptures
In the Duomo?
And Carolina, where are you, 'lina?
Still peddling your pizza
In the streets-a
Taormina?
And in Firenze, where are you Alice?
Still there in your pretty
Itty-bitty pity
Palace?
And sweet Lucretia, so young and gay
What scandalous doings
In the ruins
Of Pompeii
(Chorus 2)
Where is the life that late I led?
Where is it now? Totally dead!
Where is the fun I used to find?
Where has it gone? Gone with the wind!
The marriage game is quite all right
Yes during the day
It's easy to play
But oh what a bore at night
So I repeat what first I said
Where is the life that late I...
(Bridge 2)
Where is Rebecca? My Becky-wecky-oh
Could still she be cruising
That amusing
Ponte Vecchio?
Where is Fedora, the wild virago?
It's lucky I missed her
Gangster sister
From Chicago
Where is Venetia, who loved to chat so?
Could still she be drinking
In her stinking
Pink palazzo?
And lovely Lisa, where are you Lisa?
You gave a new meaning
To the Leaning
Tower of Pisa
(Chorus 3)
Where is the life that late I led?
Where is it now? Totally dead!
Where is the fun I used to find?
Where has it gone? Gone with the wind!
I've oft been told of nuptial bliss
But what do you do
At quarter to two
With only a shrew to kiss?
So I repeat what first I said
Where is the life that late I led
where can i get the sheet music help me
Dancer Tall
Chris Wood sang it better
Elina_fab haha! thanks for the input!
I prefer Ben's version. His acting combined with the singing made me appreciate this one more. There are a couple of things Chris did that just didn't strike me right. Just another opinion.
I havent seen Chris Wood and Ben Davis is excellent
Nah
