No. 9 - Chorus and Scene - "The Arcadians."
MIDI File
| Chorus: | Come and see them, only see! Never did anyone look so funny! Like a circus as can be, Only it's amateur, not for money! All the London men and maids, |
| Men: | Putting themselves into fancy dresses. |
| Ladies: | Some with pails and some with spades, |
| Men: | Dairy Maids, reapers and shepherdesses. |
| All: | Look there! See here! Look there! See here! Never has been such a thing seen, Not come Michaelmas fifty year! Never has been such a thing seen since Michaelmas, Michaelmas, fifty year. |
| Male Guests: | As countrymen we truly are Uncommonly peculiar, In what a town costumier Informs us is a smock-frock, We don't know what to do with it, But still we're going through with it, Although the prospect's gloomier, Than anything we've met yet! |
| All: | Never has been such a thing seen, Not since Michaelmas fifty year! |
| Female Guests: | Hither from Burlington Arcady straying, Come we to work at the crook and the churn: All the enjoyment of their employment We are exceedingly anxious to learn. How do you handle a fork when you're haying? How do you manage when milking a cow? Isn't it charming going a-farming, If you have somebody telling you how! |
| All: | Telling you how! Telling you how! If you have somebody, somebody telling you how! |
| Ensemble: | Hither from Burlington Arcady straying, Come we to work at the crook and the churn: All the enjoyment of their employment, We are exceedingly anxious to learn. How do you handle a fork when you're haying? How do you manage when milking a cow? Isn't it charming going a-farming, When you have somebody telling you how! Never has been such a thing seen, Such a thing seen. |
