No. 13 - Finale Act I
Chorus: | Fancy his getting the Earldom! Earldom! Earldom! Fancy his being a peer! Fancy his being a peer! It came as a bit of a shock, we admit, To every one of us here. And didn't he keep it a secret, secret, secret! Doesn't it seem rather droll, Doesn't it seem rather droll, That no one detected, or even suspected That he was the Earl of Stole, That he was the Earl of Stole, the Earl, the Earl of Stole! That he was the Earl of Stole! |
Girls: | We thought you were an ordinary being, In ordinary circles to be met; And, candidly, we never dreamt of seeing Your name amongst the others in Debrett. But now that you've revealed yourself to fame, You have made us look as foolish as can be, And your lordship's ev'ry act and word proclaim You a member of the Aristocracee! |
Jim: | Oh! that's all right, how could you know? For I was quite incognito! Well, this is prime! I see that I'm a-going to have a fust-rate time! |
Crewe: | All golden each moment has been Since the day that you smiled on me sweetly, My heart crown'd you long ago Queen, I'm your subject most loyal and true. |
Daisy: | Your voice made my senses to thrill, None other could charm so completely, For love was a stranger, until He came, oh, my dearest, with you. |
Dick: | Away! come away from the gray land! Away! come away to the blue! When you're safe by Gibraltar The motion will alter, The sea will be gentler to you. You'll call on the ladies of Cadiz, And indulge in a Real Cabana, And sigh as you roam, There are no girls at home Like those that you find in España! By the shore of the Mediterranean so blue, blue, blue, There are maids Who love soft serenades, Yes, they do, do, do. And whenever you will, They will teach you to bill And to coo, coo, coo. For the girls have a mouth only known in the South, Just for you, you, you. |
