No. 13 - Act II Opening Chorus
| Chorus: | Every kind of party we have read about From the Half-Crown Hop to the Threepenny Free-and-Easy, None of them seemed the kind to lose your head about; Yes, but this is quite a different sort of thing! |
| Ladies: | We have seen a lot of small affairs, Carnival or garden fète, |
| All: | We have been to fancy ball affairs, Small and Earlies — home at eight, Small and Earlies — home at eight, at eight! Every kind of party we have read about From the Half-Crown Hop To the Threepenny Free-and-Easy, None of them seemed the kind to lose your head about; But this is a different sort of thing! |
| Ladies: | We are ladies of the county, Of the County, if you please; By our graciousness and bounty We betray our pedigrees — British county, haughty county, Cliquey county pedigrees! |
| Men: | We are British County Magnates, County Magnates and J. P.'s; Thanks to us, the county stagnates, County stagnates by degrees. Rather stodgy, Farmer Hodgey, Getting podgy, by degrees. |
| All: | Farmer Hodgey, Getting podgy, by degrees. This is quite the finest party That has ever been seen; Fun is free and friends are hearty, Jewels blazing, Frocks amazing, All is life and light and laughter, All the waiters declare There never can have been Such a splendid party anywhere, There never can have been Such a splendid party anywhere! This is quite the finest party That has ever been seen; Fun is free and friends are hearty, Jewels blazing, Frocks amazing, All is life and light and laughter, All the waiters declare There never can have been Such a splendid party anywhere, There never can have been Such a splendid party anywhere! All is laughter, life and light, Fun is free and friends are bright, No such party anywhere this night! |
