No. 3 - Song - Dudley - "A lady's maid"
| Dudley: | A modern lady's maid Who serves a modern lady Has got to know her trade In nineteen hundred A. D. To pump a flagging tyre, To brush a bike or ride it, To send a note or wire, And just to look inside it! For a lady's maid must read a bit If her active help you need a bit, As she's in the play, she had better know the plot, You must let her read a little or she'll want to read a lot! For a lady's maid must read a bit If her active help you need a bit, As she's in the play, she had better know the plot, You must let her read a little or she'll want to read a lot! |
| Her mistress's costumes With perfect taste she chooses. She uses her perfumes And wears the smartest blouses. On Covent Garden nights When people go a-masking Her lady's riding tights She borrows without asking, For a lady's maid must dress a bit, It's a taste you can't suppress a bit. If she wants a gown that you happen to have got You must let her wear a little or she'll want to wear a lot! For a lady's maid must dress a bit, It's a taste you can't suppress a bit. If she wants a gown that you happen to have got You must let her wear a little or she'll want to wear a lot! |
|
| And if she is dismiss'd For failing in her duty, She'll turn a vocalist Of unsuspected beauty. Amusement she'll afford To people smart or shady And fascinate the lord Who married her young lady. For a lady's maid must dance a bit In the style they do in France a bit, For she can can-can and she studied on the spot You must let her kick a little or she's sure to kick a lot! For a lady's maid must dance a bit In the style they do in France a bit, For she can can-can and she studied on the spot: You must let her kick a little or she's sure to kick a lot! |
