No. 23 - Ensemble and Chorus - "Back to London"
| Poppy: | What joy to know A month or so Will see us in town again; |
| All: | Will see us in town again; |
| Tucker: | The trip may be a month or three, Not reckoning in the train! |
| All: | That Chatham and Dover train! |
| Dudley: | And there, no doubt, On Sundays out, There won't be a Chinaman about! |
| Li: | My wishee you Could take me too, My wishee for all the crew! |
| Girls: | Oh, whirl of joy! |
| Men: | Oh, joyful whirl! |
| Girls: | For girl and boy! |
| Men: | For boy and girl! |
| All: | For we all of us are going back to London! Over Ocean, That's the notion! It will fairly strike us silly When we drive up Piccadilly, And we know that we are back again in town! Oh, we all of us are going back to London! Over Ocean, That's the notion! It will fairly strike us silly When we drive up Piccadilly, And we know that we are back again in town! |
| Tucker: | You'll all agree, I think, with me, Pekin is a trifle slow, |
| All: | Pekin is a trifle slow; |
| Tucker: | So I suggest It might be best To London that we should go! |
| All: | To London that we should go! |
| Dudley: | For well we know, When we arrive We'll find the dear old town alive; |
| Preston: | And boys and girls will all turn out As soon as they hear us shout! |
| Girls: | We're home again! |
| Men: | Again we're home! |
| Girls: | By boat and train |
| Men: | No more to roam! |
| All: | For the only town in which to live is London, So exciting, And delighting, That it draws us willy nilly To our dear old Piccadilly With a hip hurrah! we're back again in town! For the only town in which to live is London, So exciting, And delighting, That it draws us willy nilly To our dear old Piccadilly With a hip hurrah! we're back again in town! |
