No. 4 - Chorus - "Little Ladies in Distress"
| Girls: | Oh! dear me! What on earth are we to do? For you see, all our plans have fallen through. I should be very much obliged to you If you'd pay attention To the facts I mention, For I've made all my clothes in such a mess. I'm afraid that I've nearly spoilt my dress, Do suggest what is best, And try to aid A little lady in distress. |
| Men: | You must do exactly what you're told. |
| Girls: | Yes, I know! But it's shocking, It's my stocking! |
| Men: | Oh! In the meantime you are catching cold. Touch the tintinnabulator for the waiter. Perhaps I'd better take it off, And save you from a cold or cough. |
| Girls: | Oh no, sir! that would hardly do, Although it's very kind of you. |
| Men: | Then how is this? 'twill serve to hide What's going on the other side |
| Girls: | Ah! that is a much better plan, And stamps you as a gentleman. Now although I was anxious, it is true, Still, you know just the proper thing to do, And I owe very many thanks to you. For your kind attention to the facts I mention. You've displayed such a lot of cleverness, I'm afraid 'twas a trouble none the less, You were so good, you know, and tried to aid A little lady in distress! |
