PHYLLIS: Soon as we may,
Off and away!
We'll commence our journey airy--
Happy are we--
As you can see,
Ev'ry one is now a fairy!

PHYL., IOL. & QUEEN: Ev'ry, ev'ry, ev'ry,
Ev'ry one is now a fairy!

Though as a gen'ral rule we know
Two strings go to ev'ry bow,
Make up your minds that grief 'twill bring
If you've two beaux to ev'ry string.

ALL: Though as a gen'ral rule we know
Two strings go to ev'ry bow,
Make up your minds that grief 'twill bring
If you've two beaux to ev'ry string.

LD. CHAN.: Up in the sky,
Ever so high,
Pleasures come in endless series;
We will arrange
Happy exchange--
House of Peers for House of Peris!

LDS. TOL., MOUNT. & CHAN.:Peris, Peris, Peris,
House of Peers for House of Peris!

Up in the air, skyhigh, skyhigh,
Free from Wards in Chancery,
He will be surely happier for
He's such a susceptible Chancellor.

ALL: Up in the air, skyhigh, skyhigh,
Free from Wards in Chancery,
He will be surely happier for
He's such a susceptible Chancellor.
