No. 15 - Act II Opening Chorus
Chorus: | If you're tired of having your meals 'Mid the noise and the traffic of town, You should make up your mind to run down To this primitive, primitive spot, You should make up your mind to run down To this primitive, primitive spot. In the air of the country one feels More inclined for a nice tête-à-tête, And a menu that's quite up to date They have certainly, certainly got, And a menu that's quite up to date They have certainly, certainly got, A menu that's up to date you'll find they have got. The Crimson Butterfly Is the place for you to try, The waiters are obliging, And the prices aren't too high; You'll find out by and by Your wants they'll satisfy, So come and dine beneath the sign Of the Crimson Butterfly. |
Ladies: | A saunter underneath the trees, To rouse a failing appetite, Then back, to order what you please At tables deck'd in snowy white, |
Men: | A first-rate vintage in your glass, And soon contentedly you'll sigh, |
All: | A pleasant evening you will pass When at the Crimson Butterfly. The Crimson Butterfly Is the place for you to try, The waiters are obliging, And the prices aren't too high; You'll find out by and by Your wants they'll satisfy, So come and dine beneath the sign Of the Crimson Butterfly. |
