No. 16 - Chorus - Old Companions
Lyrics by George Grossmith, Junr.
| Boys: | At the close of night When the sun shone bright, Then we ceased to be hilarious, And we went to snooze In our evening shoes And some other garments various, Then we all slept sound, Tho' the room turn'd round, And we dream'd of frills and frockery, Till they brought our tea Which you'll all agree Is a luke-warm snare and mockery! The early morn's a thing we bar, But when it's noon, then here we are! We all arrive, we're all alive, You'll find there's nothing wrong with us, And so you needn't make a fuss, For we're all right When we've had a pleasant night, And if we think we'd like a drink, The daring deed will soon be done; The Old companions know the spot Where it can be got, And we all get thirsty when the clock strikes one! We all arrive, we're all alive, You'll find there's nothing wrong with us, And so you needn't make a fuss, For we're all right When we've had a pleasant night, And if we think we'd like a drink, The daring deed will soon be done; The Old companions know the spot Where it can be got, And we all get thirsty when the clock strikes one! |
| Girls: | At the hour of ten We awoke and then We put on our morning frippery, And we peep'd outside Where we soon descried That the roads weren't wet or slippery. This supplied the cue For a brand new shoe Of a size that if once you're in it you're Very soon convinced By the way you've winced That your foot isn't always a miniature! But if the question now be put, We've got a rather dainty foot, We've come along, don't say it's wrong, We've come to captivate the boys, And ev'ry one of us employs Her subtle charms When we take them by the arms, And ev'ry day some pleasant way We find to make the money run; Our little darlings know the spot Where it can be got, And we all get friendly when the clock strikes one! We've come along, don't say it's wrong, We've come to captivate the boys, And ev'ry one of us employs Her subtle charms When we take them by the arms, And ev'ry day some pleasant way We find to make the money run; Our little darlings know the spot Where it can be got, And we all get friendly when the clock strikes one! |
