No. 1 - Opening Chorus
| Bridesmaids: | We're the bright and bridal bevy Who have recently attended As a setting to the beauty Of the bashful bride; But the labour wasn't heavy And the task will soon be ended, When another has the duty To be at her side, To be at her side, Now the guests begin to tail off, The champagne has finished flowing, And the bride has cut the icing On the wedding cake, On the wedding cake. So she comes to take the veil off, And to change her dress for going To a tailor-made enticing, For the bridegroom's sake, The bridegroom's sake. |
| 1st. Bridesmaid: | Now we must help you, dear, to change! |
| 2nd. Bridesmaid: | Doesn't it all seem very strange? |
| 3rd. Bridesmaid: | Going to life that's all unknown, |
| 4th. Bridesmaid: | Having a husband of your own? |
| 5th. Bridesmaid: | That's what a woman has to do, |
| 6th. Bridesmaid: | We may be getting married too, |
| All: | Won't you be happy, you and he, Going to Flacton, Flacton-on-Sea, Flacton, Flacton-on-Sea. |
| Norah: | Yes, it is strange, it really seems Something I used to see in dreams. If you should give a pinch or shake, I should be single and awake. Still, it's a dream I don't regret, Pray do not try and wake me yet. |
| Bridesmaids: | Dear little darling, may you be Happy at Flacton, Flacton-on-Sea, Flacton, happy at Flacton, Happy at Flacton-on-Sea. |
