Gilbert And Sullivan The Grand Duke (Or The Statutory Duel) Act Ii Duet - Prince And Princess PRINCE. We're rigged out in magnificent array (Our own clothes are much gloomier) In costumes which we've hired by the day From a very well-known costumier. COST. (bowing). I am the well-known costumier. PRINCESS. With a brilliant staff a Prince should make a show (It's a rule that never varies), So we've engaged from the Theatre Monaco Six supernumeraries. NOBLES. We're the supernumeraries. ALL. At a salary immense, Quite regardless of expense, Six supernumeraries! PRINCE. They do not speak, for they break our grammar's laws, And their language is lamentable-- And they never take off their gloves, because Their nails are not presentable. NOBLES. Our nails are not presentable! PRINCESS. To account for their shortcomings manifest We explain, in a whisper bated, They are wealthy members of the brewing interest To the Peerage elevated. NOBLES. To the Peerage elevated. ALL. They're/We're very, very rich, And accordingly, as sich, To the Peerage elevated. |
