No. 11 - End of Scene I (through dialogue) &
No. 12 - Opening Chorus Scene II
| Chorus: | While Monseigneur le Marquis is away, From restrictions we are free, night and day, So we revel and we rollick And we frivol and we frolic; When the cat is not upon the spot The mice begin to play. Topsy-turvy is the place, high and low, As we romp about and race to and fro, There is no one to correct us, For you surely can't expect us To obey today, in any way, Our dear friend Bobinot! Ho-la! Come and join the fun, Duties there are none Needing to be done, No one on whom to wait, Early as well as late, Ho-la! Now the coast is clear, Nobody is here Who can interfere, So we can play the fool, Like a lot of naughty children out of school, Like a lot of naughty children out of school, Like a lot of naughty children out of school. While Monseigneur le Marquis is away, From restrictions we are free, night and day, So we revel and we rollick And we frivol and we frolic; When the cat is not upon the spot The mice begin to play. Ho! ho! ho! Bobinot, No respect for him we show, Ho! ho! ho! He's de trop, Is our poor friend Bobinot! |
No. 12a - Entrance of Bobinot - "Monseigneur le Marquis de Brévancourt!"
