No. 23 - Song - Queen and Chorus - "Miss Innocent."
| Queen: | I'm a little girl, you see, Miss Innocent my name is, That's who I am! |
| Chorus: | Oh, really. |
| Queen: | That's what I'm not, |
| Chorus: | Oh! dear! |
| Queen: | If you'd know what I can be, And what my fav'rite game is, Listen to me? |
| Chorus: | Much better try not to hear. |
| Queen: | I think it amusing to quarrel with mama. |
| Chorus: | Mama. |
| Queen: | But find it is best to conciliate Papa, |
| Chorus: | Papa. |
| Queen: | But as for them, And my governess as well, Oh, they don't count. |
| Chorus: | Oh, they don't count! What her people must put up with, Who can tell. |
| Queen: | Oh, my dears, I'm wonderfully happy, Life has just begun, One eye on my book, and then the other wide awake, And looking out for fun. And after all, one's only young a short time. So, in that event, If there's a child who means to have her fling, It's little Miss Innocent. |
| Chorus: | Oh, my dears, she's wonderfully happy, Life has just begun, One eye on her book, and then the other wide awake, And looking out for fun. And after all, one's only young a short time. So, in that event, If there's a child who means to have her fling, It's little Miss Innocent. |
| Queen: | I can read quite easily, But spelling's rather baulking. Cat's spelt with C, |
| Chorus: | Not always, |
| Queen: | Sometimes with K |
| Chorus: | instead. |
| Queen: | Then I've read in history King Charles the First went walking, And talked half-an-hour, |
| Chorus: | After they cut off his head. |
| Queen: | I'm fairly contented, but wish it were the rule |
| Chorus: | The rule, |
| Queen: | That dear little boys were allowed with me at school, |
| Chorus: | At school. |
| Queen: | But I don't care, Just you wait a bit and see, Till I come out, |
| Chorus: | When she comes out. Oh, good gracious, what a handfull she will be. |
| Queen: | Oh, my dears, I'm wonderfully happy, Life has just begun, One eye on my book, and then the other wide awake, And looking out for fun. And after all, one's only young a short time. So, in that event, If there's a child who means to have her fling, It's little Miss Innocent. |

| Queen: | I think sums are rather fun! Of marriage they remind me, Twice one are two. |
| Chorus: | Not often. |
| Queen: | Sometimes they're three, |
| Chorus: | We know. |
| Queen: | I'll invent the rule of one, 'Ere any man shall bind me, And I'll be the one, |
| Chorus: | That means that she'll boss the show. |
| Queen: | In Westminster Abbey, they'll ring the wedding bells, |
| Chorus: | The bells, |
| Queen: | A bevy of bridesmaids, and quite a crowd of swells, |
| Chorus: | Of swells, |
| Queen: | A nice long train, orange blossoms in my hair, Mama's lace veil, |
| Chorus: | Mama's lace veil, Oh, depend upon it, we shall all be there. |
| Queen: | Oh, my dears, I'm wonderfully happy, Life has just begun, One eye on my book, and then the other wide awake, And looking out for fun. And after all, one's only young a short time. So, in that event, If there's a child who means to have her fling, It's little Miss Innocent. |
