| No. 7: Song (Duke) | |
 |
MIDI File [16Kb, 2' 10"] |
| Duke. | |||||
| Oh butcher, oh baker, oh candlestick-maker, | |||||
| Oh vendors of bacca and snuff — | |||||
| And you, licensed vittler, and public-house skittler, | |||||
| And all who sell sticky sweet-stuff — | |||||
| Ye barbers, and Messrs. the Bond Street hair-dressers | |||||
| (Some shave you, and others do not) — | |||||
| Ye greasy porkpie men — ye second-hand flymen — | |||||
| All people who envy my lot, All people who envy my lot. |
|||||
| (taking up tambourine) | |||||
| Let each of you lift up his voice — With tabor and cymbal rejoice |
|||||
| That you're not, by some horrible fluke, A highly-strung sensitive Duke! |
|||||
| An over-devotional, Super-emotional, Hyper-chimerical, Extra-hysterical, Wildly-æsthetical, Madly phrenetical, |
|||||
| Highly-strung sensitive Duke! A highly-strung sensitive Duke! |
|||||
| You men of small dealings, of course praise your feelings | |||||
| There's no doubt at all about that — | |||||
| When a dentist exacting your tooth is extracting, | |||||
| You can howl like an aristocrat. | |||||
| But an orphan cock-sparrow, who thrills to the marrow | |||||
| A duke who is doubly refined, | |||||
| Would never turn paler a tinker or tailor, | |||||
| Or stagger a middle-class mind! Or stagger a middle-class mind! |
|||||
| So each of you lift up your voice — With cymbal and tabor rejoice, |
|||||
| That you're not, by some horrible fluke, A highly-strung sensitive Duke! |
|||||
| An over-devotional, Super-emotional, Hyper-chimerical, Extra-hysterical, Wildly-æsthetical, Madly phrenetical, |
|||||
| Highly-strung sensitive Duke! A highly-strung sensitive Duke! |
|||||
(Dances to tambourine accompaniment.)
