No. 11 - Act II Opening Chorus
| Chorus: | When Society goes shopping In the regions of the West Till it's on the point of dropping And it wants a little rest, Then its members hither stream in, And they ask for tea with cream in; Ev'ry table that we're able To secure is in request, Ev'ry table that we're able To secure is in request. |
| Waitresses: | But our prices, don't forget, Are exorbitant indeed, And the middle class regret If they come in here to feed. When your income isn't large, You may feel inclined to mutter: Three-and-six-pence is our charge Just for tea and bread and butter. |
| All: | When Society goes shopping In the regions of the West Till it's on the point of dropping And it wants a little rest, Then its members hither stream in, And they ask for tea with cream in; Ev'ry table that we're/they're able To secure is in request, Ev'ry table that we're/they're able To secure is in request, Is in request. |
