No. 8 - Opening Chorus Act II
| Girls: | When the star is on the stage, And the lime is on the star, It may make her in a rage If we are not pretty far; If we linger at the wings While she dances and she sings, She will say unpleasant things; So we're off, and here we are. This is Kitty's dressing-room, These are Kitty's flowers; Since she has been such a boom, In they come by showers! Presents, too, are keeping pace With her great successes-- There is Kitty's jewel case, There are Kitty's dresses. There is Kitty's jewel case, There are Kitty's dresses. |
| Olivia: | Why do people make a fuss, Running after Kitty? |
| Lily: | No one hustles after us, And we're just as pretty. |
| Marie: | There's a king adores her yet, |
| Rose: | And a wealthy baronet, |
| Jessie: | All the very smartest set, |
| Cora: | Stock Exchange and City. |
| All: | She's the queen of Capel Court, And there's little left behind; But she's quite a decent sort, So we do not really mind. From the prima to the page Pretty proud of her we are, When the star is on the stage, And the lime is on the star, When the star is on the stage, And the lime is on the star. |
