No. 16 - Song - Mina - "When your pride has had a tumble."

MIDI File

Mina: When your pride has had a tumble,
And you've set your cap too high,
Though at fate you're apt to grumble,
Never sit and sulk and sigh,
Let your little heart beat faster,
Keep your temper if you can.
When you fail to get the master,
Be contented with the man. Ah!
C'est ainsi qu'ça s'passe chez nous,
Tra la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
Est j'crois qu'nous avons bon gout,
Tra la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
C'est ainsi qu'ça s'passe chez nous,
Tra la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
De l'argent il n'y a qu'ça,
Et trop de coeur il n'est faut pas.
   
  In default of silk or satin
You must don a simple dress;
Wanting room to swing a cat in,
Pray be satisfied with less;
When denied the gold of Yankee
Then the humble copper take;
For a crust of bread say "Thank-ee!"
When you can't get currant cake. Ah!
C'est ainsi qu'ça s'passe chez nous,
Tra la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
Est j'crois qu'nous avons bon gout,
Tra la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
C'est ainsi qu'ça s'passe chez nous,
Tra la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
De l'argent il n'y a qu'ça,
Et trop de coeur il n'est faut pas.
