Iris:

I'm dear little Iris,

The messenger fair;

My lady's attire is

My duty and care.

I make my successes

In draping her dresses

And twining the tresses

Of beautiful hair!

A ticklish affair

Is doing the hair!

I settle it thus, I frizzle it so,

Most deft and deferential,

And whether it's all her own, or no,

Is strictly confidential!

Curius:

It's strictly,

Silius:

Wholly,

Lollius:

Absolutely,

Manlius:

Utterly confidential!

Chorus:

You settle it thus, you frizzle it so,

Most deft and deferential,

And whether it's all her own, or no,

Is strictly confidential!

Iris:

I carry her letters

All carefully sealed,

And some of my betters

Would like them revealed;

Though men of high station

Would give compensation

For prompt information

I never will yield!

When princes appealed,

I never would yield.

They flatter me thus, they wheedle me so,

I'm calm and consequential,

For anything I'm allowed to know,

Is strictly confidential!

Curius:

It's strictly,

Silius:

Wholly,

Lollius:

Absolutely,

Manlius:

Utterly confidential!

Chorus:

They flatter her thus, they wheedle her so,

She's calm and consequential,

For anything she's allowed to know,

Is strictly confidential!
