No. 17 - Entrance of English Visitors
| Sing Hi: | At our majestic monarch's behest, Welcome the whole barbarian band! In uniform, Which must be worn, Come ev'ry English guest. Their cut and style May raise a smile But that must be suppress'd. |
| Chorus: | Of course! the smile shall be suppress'd! |
| Bobbie: | Our Colours mean We serve the Queen, They're not a theme for jest! So if you would Be quite so good Your laugh may be suppress'd. |
| Chorus: | It is! Observe, it is suppress'd! |
| Sir Bingo: | These ladies here With bow and spear Excite my interest, I really think I'll try a wink But that must be suppress'd. |
| Chorus: | Oh fie, You ought to be suppress'd! |
| English Ladies: | Oh, how they stare, As if we were Inadequately dress'd They must be mad! |
| Chorus: | These necks unclad Are really very bad And ought to be suppress'd! Still, free from distrust or malice Pour tea in the China Chalice. Greet them in the Golden Dragon Palace. |
