This is a really old question and I remember it being talked about before, but why exactly was the line "funny sort of spectre to expect a large retainer" changed to "apparition"? Are those alternate lyrics? I don't understand the point of changing it. Did they think apparition is a more well known word or something?
"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter
