No. 9 - Finale Act I
| Chorus: | To-Night's the night of the new revue Which ev'ryone should see, The Press talk of a big success. There may be scenes that appeal to you, Or jokes that tickle me, And skits on some of the season's hits. |
| Men: | To-Night's the night of the new revue Which ev'ryone should see, |
| Girls: | The new revue Which ev'ryone should see tonight, Tonight, tonight, tonight, the new revue And skits on some of the season's hits. |
| Montagu: | So take me up to Town, girls, Take me on the spree, Take me to the Empire, Or the Gaitee; Trot me round old Trafalgar Square — Now don't forget that To-Night's the night, And you'll all be there! |
| Chorus: | So take him up to Town, girls, Take him on the spree, Take him to the Empire, Or the Gaitee; Trot him round old Trafalgar Square — We won't forget that To-Night's the night, And we'll all be there! |
| Dudley: | I'm not feeling very inclined, my love, To go up to town with the rest. |
| June: | Then why can't we linger behind, my love, I like your society best. |
| Dudley: | I think we'll do what you suggest. I'll stop and flirt with you, Yes, that's the thing to do, By the riverside in the gloaming We'll go roaming, just we two. |
| June: | And all the evening through We'll softly bill and coo. For we're not so awfully eager To see this revue, And I really rather would stop here And flirt with you! |
| Victoria: | (spoken) Telegram for you, Sir! |
| Dudley: | (spoken) Telegram for me? Whatever can it be? |
| Chorus: | Whatever, ever, ever can it be? |
| Beatrice: | (aside to June) I told you so, I told you so, He's just as bad as the rest, you know, You thought him, oh, so quiet and tame, But now he's up to the same old game. |
| Chorus: | But now he's up to the same old game. |
| June: | Well, since I'm deserted, One thing's very clear, I won't linger longer, by my lonesome here. |
| Pedro: | That's the way to take it, Never make a fuss — Go and change your frock And come along with us. |
| Chorus: | Just you come along with all of us. When the girls to up to town, |
| Men's words: | We won't get too upset, Or begin to fuss and frown; Oh, we boys mustn't mind If we have to stop behind While the girls to up to town, |
| All: | So we'll all go up to town! Ev'ry gal with a pal In her smartest evening gown. If there's fun to be got We'll enjoy ourselves a lot, If there's fun to be got We'll enjoy ourselves a lot, Ev'ry gal with a pal, Ev'ry gal with a pal, If the boys aren't inclined they can all stop behind, And so we'll all go up to town! Ev'ry gal with a pal, In her smartest evening gown. If there's fun to be got We'll enjoy ourselves a lot, When we once get up to town! |
