No. 1 - Opening Chorus
| Chorus: | With brush in hand and palette gay Our varied talents we display. And some for Art, and some for fame Are working hard to make a name. But since as Artists all agree It's best to work for L. S. D. We paint to please the vulgar throng For life is short and Art is long. For life is short and Art is long. |
| Basses: | The student plays a pleasant part Who worships at the shrine of Art. |
| Tenors: | And gets a chance, as artists do To study lovely women too. |
| Basses: | And gets a chance, as artists do To study lovely women too. |
| Girls: | In graceful pose, on canvas white Her form and features we delight. As sinner sweet or charming saint To catch with aid of brush and paint. |
| All: | With brush in hand and palette gay Our varied talents we display. And some for Art, and some for fame Are working hard to make a name. |
| Maddox, Carbonnet & Apthorpe: | |
| From the Bois de Vincennes we return A really artistic community The beauties of Nature we learn At every fresh opportunity. |
|
| Carbonnet: | It's excessively pleasant to toddle Through the cool of the forest and greenery Coquetting with nice looking model Or quietly sketching the scenery. |
| Violet, Rose & Laura: | |
| Though at present we're models unwedded If the future to fortune should carry you With our characters sober'd and steadied We shall all be delighted to marry you. |
|
| Chorus: | Here you will find in agreeable variety Every shade of artistic society Light-hearted students of Art and its mysteries Innocent models and models with histories Artists whose drawing a spoiling of paper is Embryo Leightons who revel in draperies Artists who paint from the naughty and nudey O All can be found at this popular Studio! The lazy, lucky artists who Have really nothing else to do But picnic in the woods away Delight at painting thus to play But those who duty never shirk Remain at home and stick to work For honest labour holds the keys Of fame and fortune, bread and cheese. |
