No. 4 - Sextet - "The Town and Country Mouse."
| Country Girls: | A mouse once lived in the country— |
| London Girls: | A mouse once lived in the Town; |
| Country Girls: | The country mouse Had a very small house, Quite tiny and tumble-down, Quite tiny and tumble-down. |
| London Girls: | The town mouse had a mansion, And powdered footmen too, And dined at eight off fine gold plate, And the front door looked so new. |
| Country Girls: | So new that the rain came through. Poor little, happy little country mouse! |
| London Girls: | Fine little, grand little, swell town mouse! |
| Country Girls: | Glad to play in the hay, |
| London Girls: | Dining at the Carlton ev'ry day; One in a frock of purple, |
| Country Girls: | One in a coat of brown, One little mouse from the Countryside, |
| London Girls: | And one little mouse from the Town! |
| All: | One little mouse from the Countryside, And one little mouse from the Town! |
| Country Girls: | A mouse once lived in the country— |
| London Girls: | A mouse once lived in the Town; |
| Country Girls: | The country mouse Could not afford grouse Except when the price was down, The price was very much down. |
| London Girls: | The town mouse was a gourmet, And drank the very best wine, And never would go for a walk, you know, Unless the weather was fine. |
| Country Girls: | And didn't his boots just shine! Poor little, happy little country mouse! |
| London Girls: | Fine little, grand little, swell town mouse! |
| Country Girls: | Glad to play in the hay, |
| London Girls: | Dining at the Carlton ev'ry day; One in a frock of purple, |
| Country Girls: | One in a coat of brown, One little mouse from the Countryside, |
| London Girls: | And one little mouse from the Town! |
| All: | One little mouse from the Countryside, And one little mouse from the Town! |
