Bitter Sweet the Musical - The Last Dance Lyrics
Music and lyrics by Noël Coward.
MEN:
They've all gone now-have no fear
GIRLS:
Sarah's mother may be near,
If she should hear
ALL:
She might be rather cross with us,
Elderly people make too much fuss.
MEN:
Always insist on a chaperone,
Never leave love alone.
GIRLS:
We feel frightened, if you please
Don't flirt or tease.
MEN:
Gentle and sweet in your purity,
We give our hearts as security.
GIRLS:
We shall be scolded a lot for this.
MEN:
YOUwon't miss 'ust one kiss.
GIRLS:
Think of the consequences,
Please, you haven't realized
What an appalling thin for us to be so compromised,
So dreadfully, dreadfully, dreadfully compromised.
MEN :
Everything's ending,
The moon is descending,
Behind the tall trees in the park.
GIRLS:
Silence falls,
Slumber calls.
MEN:
We men together
Were wondering whether
We might have a bit of a lark.
GIRLS:
No jokes in the dark, please,
What sort of a lark, please?
ALL:
Just a slight dance,
One more dream-of-delight dance,
Just a sort of good-night dance
Would be glorious fun.
MEN:
Won't you let us,
Please let us, just stay for a while,
Won't you,
Please won't you, be gay for a while?
All we desire is to play for a while
Now the party's done.
GIRLS:
Just a fast waltz,
Till the world seems a vast waltz,
Very often the last waltz
Is the birth of romance.
ALL:
It's a June night,
There's a thrill in the moonlight;
Let's give way to the tender surrender
Of one last dance
