No. 2 - Song - Baron and Chorus - "The Old Noblesse."
| Baron: | As one of the Old Noblesse, I'm eager to seek redress From one whom I dazed By my presence and raised To the rank of a Baroness! |
| Chorus (spoken): | Yes! |
| Baron: | Her principal asset grows less, For she spends all her money on dress; So now she is quite a superfluousness To one of the Old Noblesse, |
| Chorus: | So now she is quite a superfluousness To one of the Old Noblesse! |
| Baron: | Oh, I'm the Baron Papouche, Who drove in a hired barouche, To a church where I made And indifferent jade The wife of the great Papouche. |
| Chorus: | Oh, he's the Baron Papouche, Who drove in a hired barouche, To a church where he made And indifferent jade The wife of the great Papouche. |
| Baron: | As one of the Old Noblesse, My feelings I can't express; Her studied neglect Has begun to affect My health and my happiness! |
| Chorus (spoken): | Yes! |
| Baron: | She never bestows a caress, She spurns ev'ry loving address; She gives all the mustard without any cress To one of the Old Noblesse, |
| Chorus: | She gives all the mustard without any cress To one of the Old Noblesse! |
| Baron: | Oh, I'm the Baron Papouche, I'm fond of a sweet "bon bouche," But a smack on the face Is the only embrace That is given the great Papouche. |
| Chorus: | Oh, he's the Baron Papouche, Who's fond of a sweet "bon bouche," But a smack on the face Is the only embrace That is given the great Papouche. |
| Baron: | As one of the Old Noblesse, Who married with no success, I suggested that I Should bid her goodbye, And go for a long recess! |
| Chorus (spoken): | Yes! |
| Baron: | She answer'd me readily "Yes," You can go to a certain address Which I will not repeat, but perhaps you can guess, It's a home for the Old Noblesse, |
| Chorus: | We will not repeat, but perhaps you can guess, It's a home for the Old Noblesse! |
| Baron: | Oh, I'm the Baron Papouche, I holler Hooro hooroosh! That's Irish maybe But it rhymes, you'll agree, To that musical name, Papouche. |
| Chorus: | Oh, he's the Baron Papouche, He hollers Hooro hooroosh! That's Irish maybe But it rhymes, you'll agree, To that musical name, Papouche. |
