No. 13 - Cavalier's Song - Princess and Chorus
| Princess: | I've a name that's known at Court, In both rumor and report, As a man who has a touchy disposition; |
|
| Chorus: | -position! | |
| Princess: | I admit I'm rather savage And my enemies I ravage, Revenge I seek with greatest expedition; |
|
| Chorus: | -pedition! | |
| Princess: | O'er all the British nation I have made a reputation As a cavalier who's fond of a duello; |
|
| Chorus: | duello! | |
| Princess: | With the slightest cause for action, I demand full satisfaction, In fact I am a dangerous sort of fellow, |
|
| Chorus: | Such fellow! such fellow! A dangerous sort of man. |
|
| Princess: | Oh! with my cloak and sword
and plumed hat, They all may see I'm an aristocrat; I am always flirting, all girls deserting, Knowing neither care nor fear, I'm full of swagger, fire and reckless dash; I'm ever fond of all adventure rash, A desperado, full of bravado, I am a typical cavalier; |
|
| Chorus: | Oh! with his cloak and sword
and plumed hat, They all may see he's an aristocrat; He is always flirting, all girls deserting, Knowing neither care nor fear, He's full of swagger, fire and reckless dash; He's ever fond of all adventure rash, A desperado, full of bravado, He is a typical cavalier. |
|
| Princess: | To a demoiselle or Dame, Who for beauty has a name, I lay siege and she is certain to surrender; |
|
| Chorus: | surrender! | |
| Princess: | ] I have yet to see the coldness That will never yield to Boldness, The proudest has for me a smile that's tender; |
|
| Chorus: | that's tender! | |
| Princess: | So morning, noon and night, I'm able To sit genteely at the table, To call for wine when comrades all are mellow; |
|
| Chorus: | are mellow! | |
| Princess: | At cards, I love a battle, I adore the dice's rattle, In fact I am a devil of a fellow. |
|
| Chorus: | A devil! A devil! A devil of a man. | |
| Princess: | Oh! with my cloak and sword
and plumed hat, They all may see I'm an aristocrat; I am always flirting, all girls deserting, Knowing neither care nor fear, I'm full of swagger, fire and reckless dash; I'm ever fond of all adventure rash, A desperado, full of bravado, I am a typical cavalier; |
|
| Chorus: | Oh! with his cloak and sword
and plumed hat, They all may see he's an aristocrat; He is always flirting, all girls deserting, Knowing neither care nor fear, He's full of swagger, fire and reckless dash; He's ever fond of all adventure rash, A desperado, full of bravado, He is a typical cavalier. |
