No. 2 - Song - Norah and Bridesmaids
Norah: | As I came up the aisle, Supported by dear father, I didn't dare to smile, For I was nervous rather. The things that filled my mind Were really quite the oddest; I think I looked refined — I hope that I looked modest! |
Bridesmaids: | From what we saw behind your veil, We thought you looking rather pale! |
Norah: | Oh, little friends, I cannot hide All that it means to be a bride. Though rather glad, I can't help feeling timid, and so perplexed! Just wait a bit until you've tried — Dear little friends, it's your turn next. |
Bridesmaids: | Dear little friend, she cannot hide All that it means to be a bride. Though rather glad, she can't help feeling timid, and so perplexed! We'll wait a bit until we've tried — Dear little friend, it's our turn next. |
Norah: | The church looked quite its best, And full of my connections; So well and gaily dressed, (And so were their complexions). Although inclined to faint, Suspicion would come hinting — "Now, what is due to paint, And what to stained glass tinting?" |
Bridesmaids: | 'Twas very wrong indeed to look, And take your eyes from off your book! |
Norah: | Oh, little friends, I cannot hide All that it means to be a bride. Though rather glad, I can't help feeling timid, and so perplexed! Just wait a bit until you've tried — Dear little friends, it's your turn next. |
Bridesmaids: | Dear little friend, she cannot hide All that it means to be a bride. Though rather glad, she can't help feeling timid, and so perplexed! We'll wait a bit until we've tried — Dear little friend, it's our turn next. |
Norah: | And now the thing is done! I know with apprehension, Although it's rather fun, A husband claims attention. To please him I shall try; When we go off together — I hope I shan't be shy, And talk about the weather! |
Bridesmaids: | It doesn't matter if you do; He'll have enough to say to you! |
Norah: | Oh, little friends, I cannot hide All that it means to be a bride. Though rather glad, I can't help feeling timid, and so perplexed! Just wait a bit until you've tried — Dear little friends, it's your turn next. |
Bridesmaids: | Dear little friend, she cannot hide All that it means to be a bride. Though rather glad, she can't help feeling timid, and so perplexed! We'll wait a bit until we've tried — Dear little friend, it's our turn next. |
