No. 4 - Song - Madame Amelie - "My School Is Most Select"
| Madame Amelie: | A few young ladies I receive To finish, at a special fee That they ARE finished when they leave You'll guess from what you know of me. On principles that are my own I educate each pupil small Though people say the past has shown That I've no principles at all O, my school is most select For my pupils don't affect All the out-of-date accomplishments Of ordinary schools If a girl who is good looking Wants to join a class for cooking Do you think that I allow it! No, it's quite against the rules. |
| Geography of course I teach Since all my girls may husbands trap By learning their position each Upon the Season's social map And Bach, Beethoven or Mozart Is not the music I allow For Music Hall and Coster Art Is wanted in our salons now. O, my school is most select For my pupils don't affect All the out-of-date accomplishments Of ordinary schools If a girl in some abstruse key Wants to play like Paderewski Do you think that I allow it! No, it's quite against the rules. |
|
| Complexions that deserve a prize I'm proud to say my girls have got For why fatigue with exercise When rouge is eighteen-pence a pot. Disdaining as young ladies ought The stock-in-trade of ball-room flirts The latest step-dance they are taught Or else the newest kick in skirts O, my school is most select For my pupils don't affect All the out-of-date accomplishments Of ordinary schools If a girl with notions oddest Wants to dance in manner modest Do you think that I allow it! No, it's quite against the rules. |
