No. 3 - Quartet - Lally, Spirit, Tippin and Ebenezer - "The Lamp"
Lyrics by Adrian Ross
| Lally: | Let us fly upon the wing Of the Spirit of the Ring, Tho' the enterprise has something that is mad in, But I'll try the cavern shady For a chance to win my lady By the wonder working Lamp of Aladdin. |
| Ebenezer: | You're at liberty to brave All the terrors of the cave It may prove a place the air is rather bad in. But I will not let a dapper Little silly whipper-snapper Keep the wonder working Lamp of Aladdin. |
| All: | We're off to find the wonder, That's buried under some Oriental store, He who secures the treasure Can do his pleasure And perhaps a little more. Each swears to help the others As trusty brothers In our united camp. Oh, joy, delight and rapture, If we can capture Marvellous Aladdin's Lamp. |
| Spirit: | Don't be frightened in the least And I'll take you to the East, To a palace you can revel and be glad in. You'll be better off than here as You are drinking wine of Shiraz, From the cellar of the house of Aladdin. |
| Tippin: | Let me get a pair of socks And a collar from my box, Just to freshen up the things that I am clad in. I'll have rubies on my best coat, And a pearl and diamond waistcoat When I come upon the Lamp of Aladdin. |
| All: | Goodbye to grimy London, We've ev'ryone done With all its dust and noise. We're in for Eastern splendour That no West-Ender Ever in his life enjoyed. We won't go off by boat, or A Vanguard motor, Nor will we have to tramp. Hold tight and let me/her go it, Before we know it We shall find Aladdin's Lamp. |
