[Mercury:] Oh incident unprecedented!
I hardly can believe it's true!
[Mars:] Why, bless the boy, he's quite demented!
Why, what's the matter, sir, with you?
[Apollo:] Speak quickly, or you'll get a warming!
[Mercury:] Why, mortals up the mount are swarming,
Our temple on Olympus storming,
In hundreds- aye in thousands, too!
[All:] Goodness gracious,
How audacious;
Earth is spacious,
Why come here?
Our impeding
Their proceeding
Were good breeding
That is clear.
Goodness gracious,
How audacious;
Earth is spacious,
Why come here?
Our impeding
Their proceeding
Were good breeding
That is clear.
[Diana:] Jupiter, hear my plea;
Upon the mount if they light,
There'll be an end, an end of me,
I won't be seen by daylight!
[Apollo:] Tartarus is the place, the place
These scoundrels you should send to-
Should they behold my face
My influence there's an end to!
[Jupiter:] What fools to give themselves so much exertion!
[Diana:] A government survey I'll make assertion!
[Apollo:] Perhaps the Alpine club at their diversion!
[Mercury:] They seem to be more like a "Cook's Excursion."
[All:] Goodness gracious,
How audacious;
Earth is spacious,
Why come here?
Our impeding
Their proceeding
Were good breeding
That is clear.
[Apollo:] If, mighty Jove, you value your existence,
Send them a thunderbolt with your regards!
[Jupiter:] My thunderbolts, though valid at a distance,
Are not effective at a hundred yards.
[Mercury:] Let the moon's rays, Diana, strike 'em flighty,
Make 'em all lunatics in various styles!
[Diana:] My lunar rays unhappily are mighty
Only at many hundred thousand miles.
[Gods:] Goodness gracious,
[Mercury & Diana:] Goodness gracious,
[Gods:] How audacious;
[Mercury & Diana:] How audacious;
[All:] Earth is spacious,
Why come here?
[Gods:] Our impeding
[Mercury & Diana:] Our impeding
[Gods:] Their proceeding
[Mercury & Diana:] Their proceeding
[All:] Were good breeding
That is clear.
