You are here: > Princess Ida >> Act II
No. 17: DUET (Melissa & Lady Blanche)
"Now wouldn't you like to rule the roast"
| Melissa. |
Now wouldn't you like to rule the roast
And guide this University? |
| Blanche. |
I must agree,
'Twould pleasant be,
(Sing hey, a Proper Pride!) |
| Melissa. |
And wouldn't you like to clear the coast,
Of malice and perversity? |
| Blanche. |
Without a doubt,
I'll bundle 'em out,
(Sing hey, when I preside!) |
| Both. |
Sing hey!
Sing hoity toity! Sorry for some!
Sing marry, come up, and her/my day will come!
Sing Proper Pride
Is the horse to ride,
And Happy-go-lucky, my Lady, O! |
|
|
| Blanche. |
For years I've writhed beneath her sneers,
Although a born Plantagenet! |
| Melissa. |
You're much too meek,
Or you would speak
(Sing hey, I'll say no more!) |
| Blanche. |
Her elder I, by several years,
Although you'd ne'er imagine it. |
| Melissa. |
Sing, so I've heard
But never a word
Have I e'er believ'd before! |
| Both. |
Sing hey!
Sing hoity toity! Sorry for some!
Sing marry, come up, and her/my day will come!
Sing, she shall learn
That a worm will turn.
Sing Happy-go-lucky, my Lady, O! |
Exit Lady Blanche.
