No. 17 - Quartette - Saidie, Plantagenet, Jack and Edith.
Edith: | I was a lofty lady, Looking on joy as shady, Which was a view not very new, Seventeen hundred A. D. Now I intend to wake up, Giving myself a shake up, Join in the race, forcing the pace — I have a lot to make up. |
Quartet: | For we are going to have a good time, We'll think that fun isn't always a crime, The pure and pious may vilify us, and say we go too far, But we are going to have a good time, We are! |
Saidie: | I'm a United Stater, So my ideas are later, Tho' I've a mind highly refined, Nobody's up-to-dater. I can be gay and sprightly, Daily and also nightly, Make little bets, try cigarettes, Well, I should think so — slightly! |
Quartet: | For we are going to have a good time, The prospect strikes us as simply sublime! We'll get up dinners and back the winners, and ride a motor car, For we are going to have a good time, We are! |
