No. 2: SOLO (Ludwig) with Chorus
"By the mystic regulation"
| Ludwig. |
|
By the mystic regulation
Of our dark Association,
Ere you open conversation
With another kindred soul,
You must eat a sausage-roll!
(Producing one.)
|
Rutland Barrington as Ludwig
 |
|
| Chorus. |
You must eat a sausage-roll!
A sausage-roll!
|
| Ludwig. |
If, in turn, he eats another,
That’s a sign that he’s a brother –
Each may fully trust the other.
It is quaint and it is droll,
But it’s bilious on the whole. |
| Chorus. |
| Very bilious, very bilious on the whole. |
| Ludwig. |
It’s a greasy kind of pasty,
Which, perhaps, a judgement hasty
Might consider rather tasty:
Once (to speak without disguise)
It found favour in our eyes. |
| Chorus. |
| It found favour, it found favour in our eyes. |
| Ludwig. |
But when you’ve been six months feeding
(As we have) on this exceeding
Bilious food, it’s no ill-breeding
If at these repulsive pies
Our offended gorges rise!
|
| Ludwig. |
Women. |
Men. |
| |
Yes, at these repulsive pies
Our offended gorges rise! |
Yes, at these repulsive pies
Our offended gorges rise! |
| But, |
But, |
Our offended gorges rise! |
| But, |
But, |
Our gorges rise! |
| All. |
By the mystic regulation
Of our dark Association,
Ere you open conversation
With another kindred soul,
You must eat a sausage-roll! |
| Ludwig. |
Chorus. |
| |
You must eat a sausage-roll, a sausage roll, |
| A sausage roll, a sausage roll! |
A roll, a roll, a roll, a roll, a roll, a sausage roll! |
| A roll, a roll, a sausage roll! |
A roll, a roll, a sausage roll! |
| A sausage roll! |
A sausage roll! |
