No. 11 - Concerted Number - "The White City"
| Mary: | There's a City of palaces white, But it's quite In the west, And we declare You must journey there Whenever you get the chance. |
| Jeanne: | As you roam through each wonderful hall, You will all Be impressed, By things on show That belong, you know, To England as well as France. |
| Mrs. Farquhar: | There's only a shilling to pay, No wonder people flock in scores! So why should we longer delay, By tube or tram you reach the doors. |
| All: | Come away to the City of White, The City of White! You will find it a dream of delight, By day or by night. The Court of Honour's fine, And, if it's in your line, Pray take a peep At where they keep The elephants and great big tigers. You can roam just wherever you please, Wherever you please, Pay a call on the Senegalese (Or people like these) And if you only stop! Till shades of evening come, There'll be fireworks in the Stadi-a-dium, Um, um! |
| Timothy: | On the sleepy canal you can float, In a boat With a swan, Or else get warm In Canadian form Tobogganing down a slide. |
| Toplady: | Then the railway with scenery round You are bound To get on, And after tea You no doubt will be Inclined for a rickshaw ride. |
| Eynsford: | You sit, in the Gardens Elite, Where soothing bands will softly play, Or if you want something to eat, Then try the popular Café! |
| All: | Come away to the City of White, The City of White! You will find it a dream of delight, By day or by night. Then by and by perhaps, Upon the Flip that Flaps You may decide to take a ride, Though all the girls feel rather nervous. Don't forget there's the Marathon Race, The Marathon Race! Book your seats rather early in case You don't get a place. Exciting it will be To see the winners come For the finish in the Stadi-a-dium, Um, um! |
