No. 8: Quartet (Yum-Yum, Peep-Bo, Pitti-Sing, Pooh-Bah & Chorus)
"So please you, Sir, we much regret"
Kenneth Sandford with Peggy-Ann Jones, Gillian Humphreys & Jennifer Toye, 1960s
 |
|
| Yum-Yum, Peep-Bo & Pitti-Sing. |
So please you, Sir, we much regret
If we have failed in etiquette
Towards a man of rank so high —
We shall know better by and by. |
| Yum-Yum. |
But youth, of course, must have its fling,
So pardon us,
So pardon us, |
| Pitti-Sing. |
And don't, in girlhood's happy spring,
Be hard on us,
Be hard on us,
If we're inclined to dance and sing,
Tra la la la la la. |
|
| Yum-Yum, Peep-Bo & Pitti-Sing. (dancing) |
Chorus. |
But youth, of course, must have its fling,
So pardon us,
And don't, in girlhood's happy spring,
Be hard on us, |
Tra la la la la la, etc. |
| |
But youth, of course, must have its fling,
So pardon us, |
| Tra la la la la la, etc. |
Tra la la la la la, etc. |
| Pooh-Bah. |
I think you ought to recollect
You cannot show too much respect
Towards the highly titled few;
But nobody does, and why should you?
That youth at us should have its fling,
Is hard on us,
Is hard on us;
To our prerogative we cling —
So pardon us,
So pardon us,
If we decline to dance and sing.
Tra la la, etc. (Dancing.) |

Exeunt all but Yum-Yum.
