No. 22 - Trio - Ebenezer, Cadi and Ratz - "The Gallic Cock."
Lyrics by W. H. Risque
| Ebenezer: | An Englishman, a German! That's a couple I should term an Awkward sort of combination for a customer to "do." But no partnership can beat it If we manage to complete it With the very slight addition of a typical Mossoo. |
| Ratz: | I am full of admirations, It's a pretty combinations That a lot of money maken in a very little shall, |
| Cadi: | Mes amis I give my answer I will join you "Vive la France" Let us give the hand upon it Vive l'entente cordiale, |
| All: | Vive l'entente cordiale. |
| Ebenezer: | Oh, the Lion, |
| Ratz: | And the Eagle, |
| Cadi: | And the little Gallic cock, |
| All: | Make a downy little trio that will never take the knock, For we're out for making money, and the betting's five to two On the Lion and the Eagle, and the Cock-a-doodle-doo. |
| Ebenezer: | I'll be the bluff and hearty Solid business kind of party, With a breezy kind of honesty that's certain to impress. |
| Cadi: | I shall be for ever smiling, All the customairs beguiling With my mannair so delightful, Ah, toujours la politesse, |
| Ebenezer: | I shall be the slow and steady, |
| Cadi: | I the quick and ever ready, |
| Ebenezer: | I'll deliberate, and cogitate, I'll scintillate, and flash, |
| Ratz: | I remain all by mind sellef, What you call upon the shellef In one tiny little office where I sit and count der cash, |
| All: | Where he sits and counts der cash. |
| Ebenezer: | Oh, the Lion, |
| Ratz: | And the Eagle, |
| Cadi: | And the little Gallic cock, |
| All: | Make a downy little trio that will never take the knock, For we're out for making money, and the betting's five to two On the Lion and the Eagle, and the Cock-a-doodle-doo. |
