No. 19:
Song (Dancing Sunbeam, with Blush-of-Morning, Honey-of-Life, Heart's Desire, Physician, Sultan & Vizier)
| Sunbeam. | ||||||
| In the heart of my hearts I've always known — | ||||||
| Others. | ||||||
| She's always known — | ||||||
| Sunbeam. | ||||||
| I've always known | ||||||
| I should one day grace a social throne! | ||||||
| Others. | ||||||
| A social throne she'd grace! | ||||||
| Sunbeam. | ||||||
| I dreamed at the age of slim fifteen — | ||||||
| Others. | ||||||
| Far dim fifteen — | ||||||
| Sunbeam. | ||||||
| Of slim fifteen | ||||||
| I should be what you see — a Social Queen! | ||||||
| Others. | ||||||
| Then take your proper place! | ||||||
| Sunbeam. | ||||||
| For to stand at the top | ||||||
| Of a wide staircase, | ||||||
| Till you're fit to drop | ||||||
| With a fixed grimace | ||||||
| Others. | ||||||
| (That is meant for a smile | ||||||
| Of enjoyment keen), | ||||||
| Is the way To be gay |
||||||
| As a Social Queen — | ||||||
| And that's your proper, proper place! | ||||||
| All. | ||||||
| Ah! That's my/your proper, proper place! | ||||||
| Sunbeam. | ||||||
| There are women I've known, and I sha'n't forget — | ||||||
| Others. | ||||||
| She can't forget — | ||||||
| Sunbeam. | ||||||
| I sha'n't forget — | ||||||
| Who were Queens in my suburban set — | ||||||
| Others. | ||||||
| A far inferior race! | ||||||
| Sunbeam. | ||||||
| They'll learn there's a wider gap between — | ||||||
| Others. | ||||||
| A gap between — | ||||||
| Sunbeam. | ||||||
| A gulf between | ||||||
| Them and me (you'll see) now I'm a Queen! | ||||||
| Others. | ||||||
| You'll put them in their place! | ||||||
| Sunbeam. | ||||||
| For to turn up your nose | ||||||
| At the people who | ||||||
| Are precisely those | ||||||
| Who have once snubbed you — | ||||||
| Others. | ||||||
| For to patronize them, | ||||||
| Or to cut them clean, | ||||||
| Is the height Of delight |
||||||
| To a Social Queen! | ||||||
| And that's your proper, proper place! | ||||||
| All. | ||||||
| Ah! That's my/your proper, proper place! | ||||||
Dance.
Exeunt Dancing Sunbeam, Honey-of-Life, Blush-of-Morning, Heart's Desire and Physician.
