ACT I - The Earl of Beverley's House in Regent's Park.
No. 1 - Opening Chorus
Chorus: | Oh, his Lordship rather keeps things up, |
Men: | He keeps things up, |
Girls: | They come to sup — |
All: | Lots of ladies and of noblemen, That's life in the Upper Ten! |
Girls: | Veuve Clicquot on the go, Until three A. M. All on ice, and the price Doesn't bother them! |
Men: | If my Lord can't afford it some day |
Girls: | As people say, |
All: | Then the Duke will have to pay! Oh! and after they have done, you know, |
Men: | There'll be some scraps |
Girls: | For us perhaps! |
All: | When we clear away the plates and chairs, You'll see high life down stairs! |
Men: | For no one cares — |
Girls: | What goes down stairs. |
