HARRIET, EFFIE, GLORIA:
This is the loveliest,
Loveliest part of the party.
VICTORIA:
Eeny meeny rniny mo
SARAH:
Catch a nigger by his toe
JANE:
If he hollers let him go
Out goes she.
VICTORIA:
Out goes me.
ALL:
This is the loveliest,
Loveliest part of the party.
VICTORIA:
Only three of them left now,
We're excited to see
Who is going to be blind man,
Who's it going to be.
SARAH:
I have a strange presentiment it's me.
JANE:
Eeny meeny miny mo
Out goes she.
SARAH:
Eeny meeny rniny mo
Out goes she.
I'm HE-it's me,
It's me-I'm HE.
GIRLS:
Just get a handkerchief and bind it around her eyes.
SARAH:
Not too tight, not too tight.
GIRLS:
She mustn't see a thing no matter how much she tries.
SARAH:
That's all right-that's
GIRLS:
She will cheat if she can,
That corner's raised a bit,
Turn her round till she's dazed a bit,
Are you ready now.
One, two, three
SARAH:
Since the party began,
Something's been taunting me,
Some presentiment haunting me,
What can it be?
GIRLS:
Start now-start now,
She can see the ground,
She can see the ground.
SARAH:
Somehow, somehow,
Some forgotten sound,
Some forgotten sound,
Echoes deep in my heart,
Strangely enthralling me,
Someone secretly calling me,
Like a melody far away.
GIRLS:
Oh, for Heaven's sake start,
Here go along with you,
We can see nothing wrong with you,
We want to play.
SARAH:
Should happiness forsake me,
And disillusion break me,
Come what may,
Lead the way,
Take me, take me.
Although I may discover
Love crucifies the lover,
Whate'er Fate has in store,
My heart is yours evermore.
All right.
CARL:
Oh, Lady, you are far above me,
And yet you whisper that you love me,
Can this be true or is it just some foolish dream?
SARAH:
(speaking)
You know it's true,
Look in my eyes--can't you see ?
CARL:
(speaking)
Oh, my dear, dear love.
(singing)
Now though your fears are sleeping,
Look well before the leaping.
Love of me May be repaid
By weeping.
Life can be bitter learning,
When there is no returning,
Whate'er Fate has in store,
My heart is yours for evermore,
I love you-I love you-I love you.
GLORIA:
YOUcannot realize the things you say.
You quite forget yourself, please go away.
HARRIET:
NOWleave all this to me, my dear,
It's really too absurd.
EFFIE:
It's quite the most romantic thing
That I have ever heardl
QUARTETTE:
Now the party's really ended,
And our betters have ascended,
All with throbbing heads,
To their welcome beds,
Pity us, who have to be up,
Sadly clearing the debris up,
Getting for our pains
Most of the remains.
Though the Major-Domo is a trifle tight,
Though the mistress hiccoughed
When she said good night,
We in our secluded garret,
Mean to finish up the claret
Cup all right.
When we've doused the final candles,
We'll discuss the latest scandals
We have overheard,
Pleasure long deferred.
When the Duke of So-and So stares
At his wife, we know below stairs,
While she smirks and struts,
That he hates her guts.
Though we all disguise our feelings pretty well,
What we mean by 'Very good' is 'Go to hell'.
Though they're all so grand and pompous,
Most of them are now non compos,
Serve them right,
Good night.
