No. 28 - Song - Hilda - "A Real Town Lady."
Hilda: | It won't be very long Before I get to town, And then I mean to be A lady of renown; I'll buy up all I see, |
Cheyne: | And owe for all the rest. |
Hilda: | For ev'ry single thing I have Must be the very best! Oh! I mean to be a real town lady, I mean to be quite grand, I mean to give the very finest parties, With a Hungarian band; I mean to entertain all London, Ev'ry one there shall come, Dukes and academicians, Soldiers and politicians, I mean to make things hum. I mean to be a real town lady, I mean to be quite grand, I mean to give the very finest parties, With a Hungarian band; I mean to entertain all London, Ev'ry one there shall come, Dukes and academicians, Soldiers and politicians, I mean to make things hum. |
Hilda: | Of course I shall invite The heroes of the day; I'll write to ev'ry General Who's been away; And Tommy, too, as well. My house I mean to show; Each Officer shall have a kiss. |
Cheyne: | Hullo! Hullo! Hullo! |
Hilda: | Oh! I mean to be a real town lady, I mean to be quite grand, I mean to give the very finest parties, With a Hungarian band; I mean to entertain all London, Ev'ry one there shall come, Dukes and academicians, Soldiers and politicians, I mean to make things hum. I mean to be a real town lady, I mean to be quite grand, I mean to give the very finest parties, With a Hungarian band; I mean to entertain all London, Ev'ry one there shall come, Dukes and academicians, Soldiers and politicians, I mean to make things hum. |
Hilda: | I'll ask a reg'lar crowd To dinner ev'ry night, The morning papers all Will illustrate the sight, And then when dinner's done, At Bridge we'll start to play; We won't leave off till breakfast time. |
Cheyne: | Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah! |
Hilda: | Oh! I mean to be a real town lady, I mean to be quite grand, I mean to give the very finest parties, With a Hungarian band; I mean to entertain all London, Ev'ry one there shall come, Dukes and academicians, Soldiers and politicians, I mean to make things hum. I mean to be a real town lady, I mean to be quite grand, I mean to give the very finest parties, With a Hungarian band; I mean to entertain all London, Ev'ry one there shall come, Dukes and academicians, Soldiers and politicians, I mean to make things hum. |
