No. 16 - Concerted Piece - "We've Reached Our Destination"
| Jessie: | We've reached our destination, and I'm glad of it! |
| Carbonnet: | A really most unpleasant time we've had of it. |
| Ruby: | The weather show'd its windy, damp and dewy side. |
| Maddox: | At intervals, I contemplated suicide. |
| Jessie: | The gale increas'd with lustier and louder puffs. |
| Carbonnet: | And all the girls forgot to use their powder puffs |
| Violet: | Our faces were as colourless as dimity. |
| Maddox: | We couldn't think of food with equanimity. |
| Carbonnet: | That excruciating crossing With its pitching and its tossing Is an ordeal that happily is over-O. It's enough to make you floppy If the Channel's chippy choppy When from Calais you are voyaging to Dover-O. |
| All: | That excruciating crossing With its pitching and its tossing Is an ordeal that happily is over-O. It's enough to make you floppy If the Channel's chippy choppy When from Calais you are voyaging to Dover-O |
| Daisy: | I am so pleas'd to see you all! The time has gone so fast I really thought you'd miss the ball, but here you are at last. |
| Sir George: | Good gracious me! These people here? It's really most unpleasant! As Daisy's guests they've been, I fear, invited to be present. |
| Madame Amelie: | Well, Daisy dear, I've come, you see. |
| Daisy: | Madame, this is delightful! A long, long time you'll stay with me. |
| Sir George: | The situation's frightful. |
| Lady Barbara: | Though I hate to make unnecessary fuss If that woman's to associate with us Then I must bring my visit to an end. |
| Daisy: | I won't allow you to insult my friend. |
| Madame Amelie: | I'm sorry that my visit has aroused her indignation, But suppose we leave the matter to Sir George's arbitration? |
| Sir George: | I, oh really, well, you see If the question's left to me Rather fully into matters I must go. And of course it's very clear That we can't discuss them here; There's a time and place for everything, you know. |
| Daisy: | Now promise me that quite at home you'll make yourselves. You're longing to your rooms I know to take yourselves. Exhausted with the journey here from France a bit, But when you've chang'd your things, come down and dance a bit. |
| Jessie: | I'll talk again quite cheerfully and chattily As soon as I have had some sal volatile. At present I am feeling faint and flickery, And hardly fit to frolic with Terpsichore! |
| All: | That excruciating crossing With its pitching and its tossing Is an ordeal that happily is over-O. It's enough to make you floppy If the Channel's chippy choppy When from Calais you are voyaging to Dover-O.
