No. 12 - Trio - Algernon, Apthorpe and Carbonnet - "Come Along"
Algernon: | Now won't you come along with us and have a jolly lark If some of you refuse it will be awfully unfair of you Of course we'll bring you home again before it's getting dark We'll buy you heaps of chocolates and take a lot of care of you |
Apthorpe: | We'll hunt the shops of Paris for the daintiest of gloves We'll purchase you perfumery enough to scent a family |
Carbonnet: | And then we will return you with our compliments and loves In excellent condition to your charming Madame Amelie. |
All: | Then come, Then come, little girls, come along, come along! If it isn't very right, yet it isn't very wrong You may suffer for your folly But a holiday is jolly So come, come along, come along! Yes, come, little girls, come along, come along! If it isn't very right, yet it isn't very wrong You may suffer for your folly But a holiday is jolly So come, come along, come along! |
Algernon: | We'll wear the gayest buttonholes and try to look as smart As decent fellows ought to in a pretty girl's society |
Carbonnet: | We'll trot you round the studios and show you modern art But always with a due regard for maidenly propriety |
Apthorpe: | We'll show you lots of things to give you pleasure and surprise In fact, we'll take you ev'rywhere, and long before we're done with you |
Algernon: | You'll open rather widely your respective pairs of eyes Oh, won't we make a day of it, and won't we have some fun with you! |
All: | Then come, Then come, little girls, come along, come along! If it isn't very right, yet it isn't very wrong You may suffer for your folly But a holiday is jolly So come, come along, come along! Yes, come, little girls, come along, come along! If it isn't very right, yet it isn't very wrong You may suffer for your folly But a holiday is jolly So come, come along, come along! |
