No. 12 - Act II - Opening Chorus
| Chorus: | In Venice when fêtes are in swing We worship our carnival king. Gondolas gay, In festive array, With laughter and song go gliding along. The waterways sparkle at night With lanterns and torches alight, Gleaming and gold In numbers untold, With banners unrolled, Wonderful sight! In Venice when fêtes are in swing We worship our carnival king. Gondolas gay, In festive array, With laughter and song go gliding along. The waterways sparkle at night With lanterns and torches alight, Gleaming and gold, Numbers untold, With banners unrolled, 'Tis a wonderful sight! |
| Girls: | The fête we keep today Is such a great display, You'll find, so we're told, Young and old, |
