From "Down the Wrong Pipe"

Schoolgirls will tell the tale

Of the cellist and the chambermaid

She hid behind the davenport

And watched him while he played

How saturnine the strains

That he felt her fevered glance

Then pressed her on the trundle bed

And rolled the casters hence

He pressed her on the trundle bed

And rolled the casters hence

He slipped her a lavaliere

In a scented pillar box

She strung it to her corset

Cloaked beneath her russet locks

Too soon her lady woke

To a chambermaid half-dressed

Ablush behind the portiere

Her hand upon her breast

Ablush behind the portiere

Her hand upon her breast

Margot, Margot Dupris

Take thee this trifle

For a trifle is but all you gave to me

Margot, Margot Dupris

By troth and by my quill

Beseech me not

I never will

Love thee

Quickened with odium

Was the mistress of the house

And so laid bare the bauble

As she rent the maidens blouse

Barefoot and sober-eyed

She was cast unto the snow

And through the oriel

She saw him rosining his bow

And through the oriel

She saw him rosining his bow

Margot, Margot Dupris

Take thee this trifle

For a trifle is but all you gave to me

Margot, Margot Dupris

By troth and by my quill

Beseech me not

I never will

Love thee

Margot, Margot Dupris

Take thee this trifle

For a trifle is but all you gave to me

Margot, Margot Dupris

By troth and by my quill

Beseech me not

I never will

Never will

Love thee

Schoolgirls will tell the tale

Of the cellist and the chambermaid

She hid behind the davenport

And watched him while he played

How saturnine the strains

That he felt her fevered glance

Then pressed her on the trundle bed

And rolled the casters hence

He pressed her on the trundle bed

And rolled the casters hence

Make Way for Love

Tender is the Heart"

This town ain't big enough

Ain't big enough for the three of us

Who

That's you and me and my love

There's one us got to go

Don't come around this place

My love it needs more space

And we're coming through

Make way for love!

We're coming through

You're in the left lane but you're driving

Barely over fifty five so

Make way! Make way! Make way!

Make sweet way

All night long

Make way make way make way

Baby make way for love

Yield!

I. JOLLY JACK ARISTOCRATS

Big round guts

Big top hats

A monocle a piece

Her escort, Lord Bembridge

We greet the assemblage

In this promenade

Lord Bembridge:

My holdings are tremendous

My mustache, stupendous

Duchess of Pembridge:

I shall slap your maid!

Throw another lump

In the old Earl Grey

II. DOFFE SHOPPE GIRL

Life is so blah

Regaling the bourgeois

Same old same old

Every day

Pageants trumpets

Ceremonial crumpets

I wish I could

Run away...

Vera:

Pardon me, Ms. Prime Minister

Take a looksy at the doffe shoppe girl

Kind of quiet but anyhow

It's uncanny how she looks just like

IV. CAESER AND OUIZER

Northumberland:

At your service

Now, Midge

Repeat after me...

Caeser's sister Ouizer has a seizure

Midge:

Caeser's sister Ouizer has a fit

Northumberland:

When Caeser sees her seize, he tends to tease her

Midge:

When Caeser sees her seize, he tends to tease her

Northumberland:

Yes,

But when Ouizer's seizure's pleasing

And Caeser sees her seizing

He's pleased,

Instead of teasing her he'll squeeze her

Now Ouizer tends to seize when it is freezing

And Caeser tends to wheeze when Ouizer's seizing

At three degrees o'er freezing

Then Ouizer ceases seizing

When Caeser sees her cease, he ceases wheezing

Now you

Midge:

Caesers sister Ouizer has a seizure

And when Caeser sees her seize, he tends to tease her

But when...

What

What's all that then

Northumberland:

Now listen here

Caeser and Ouizer

They love one another

But sometimes they fight

Ouizer and Caeser

Are brother and sister

And I tells ya mister

And Caeser tends to wheeze when Ouizer's seizing

Make a Mint

From "Who Dares Disturb My Slumber"

Download Song

Melt it and roll it and edge it and stamp it

The planchet

Smelt it and pour it blank it and strike it

The planchet

Melt it and roll it and edge it and stamp it and

Smelt it and pour it blank it and strike it

The planchet

I start with some aluminum

A trick I learned from dear old mum

Before they dragged her off to jail

"Youve got to carry on," she said,

"I need you boys to forge ahead

But don't be two-faced, while you're at it, forge a tail!

Don't waste your time with frills

Like counterfeiting bills

If you want to make a mint

You've got to make a mint

Youve got to make a mint

Melt it

Roll it

Edge it

Stamp it

Smelt it

Pour it

Blank it

The planchet

Melt it

Roll it

Edge it

Stamp it

Smelt it and pour it and blank it

The planchet!

I think that zinc (zinc!)

Boiled down in the sink

With a measure of tin (tin!)

Stirred in

A dropper of copper I'm set to begin

And with passion, I'll dash in

Some lead (lead!)

Just a ration

And soon we'll be ready to cash in

Did you hear what I said (A ration of lead!)

Soon we'll be ready to cash in

Take one commander-in-chief, and stamp his face in bas relief

And soon you'll be a man of means

A drummer, some endangered birds, a couple random Latin words

And now you're set to hit the snack machines

Don't waste your time with frills

Like counterfeiting bills

If you want to make a mint

You've got to make a mint

Youve got to make a mint

The planchet!

Take one commander-in-chief, and stamp his face in bas relief

And soon we'll all be men of means

A drummer, some endangered birds, a couple random Latin words

And now we 're set to hit the snack machines

It's plain (it's plain!)

To see (to see!)

A dime can turn on me

If you want to make a mint

Youve got to make it glint

Youve got to take a hint

Youve got to make a mint
