No. 7 - Scene and Chorus - "The At Home!"
Chorus: | Oh, it's so pleasant that you and we Can meet at present for talk and tea! So lucky this is, the cat's away, And mice and misses and men can play; We're all upsetting the College rule And quite forgetting that this is school; So freely brothers and sisters mix With all the others from four to six! |
Girls: | Four to six! |
Men: | Four to six! |
All: | Four to six! |
Sisters: | I'm so glad that you have managed to be here, Brother dear! |
Men: | I am really very proud to be invited! |
Sisters: | You will let me introduce you to my chum, Now you've come! |
Men: | I am sure I shall be awfully delighted! |
Other girls: | I have often heard your sister talk of you! |
Sisters: | Yes, I do! |
Men: | Then I fear that her description doesn't flatter! |
Other girls: | Oh! perhaps it wouldn't do for me to say! |
Sisters: | Yes, you may! |
Men: | Well, so long as we are here, it doesn't matter! |
All: | Oh, it's so pleasant that you and we Can meet at present for talk and tea! So lucky this is, the cat's away, And mice and misses and men can play; We're all upsetting the College rule And quite forgetting that this is school; So freely brothers and sisters mix With all the others from four to six! |
Girls: | Four to six! |
Men: | Four to six! |
All: | Four to six! |
