<br>

CHAIRMAN <br>

<br>

(spoken) Ladies and gentlemen, brethren and sinners all! I call upon our Goddess of the Virtues to give us her well known rendition of the old school song -- Oom-Pah-Pah! <br>

<br>

NANCY <br>

<br>

(spoken) All right, shut up, you lot! A bit of culture now! 'Ere we go... <br>

<br>

(sung) There's a little ditty<br>

They're singing in the city<br>

Espeshly when they've been<br>

On the gin<br>

Or the beer<br>

If you've got the patience, <br>

Your own imaginations<br>

Will tell you just exactly what you want to hear... <br>

<br>

ALL <br>

<br>

Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah!<br>

That's how it goes, <br>

Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah!<br>

Ev'ryone knows. <br>

<br>

NANCY <br>

<br>

They all suppose what they want to suppose<br>

When they hear...oom-pah-pah!! <br>

<br>

Mister Percy Snodgrass<br>

Would often have the odd glass -- <br>

But never when he thought anybody could see.<br>

Secretly he'd buy it,<br>

And drink it on the quiet,<br>

And dream he was an Earl<br>

Wiv a girl on each knee! <br>

<br>

CUSTOMERS AND NANCY <br>

<br>

Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah!<br>

That's how it goes.<br>

Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah!<br>

Ev'ryone knows... <br>

<br>

NANCY <br>

<br>

What is the cause of his red shiny nose?<br>

Could it be...oom-pah-pah!? <br>

<br>

Pretty little Sally<br>

Goes walking down the alley,<br>

Displays her pretty ankles to all of the men.<br>

They could see her garters,<br>

But not for free-and-gratis--<br>

An inch or two, and then she knows<br>

When to say when! <br>

<br>

ALL <br>

<br>

Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah!<br>

That's how it goes.<br>

Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah!<br>

Ev'ryone knows... <br>

<br>

NANCY <br>

<br>

Whether it's hidden, or whether it shows --<br>

It's the same...oom-pah-pah!<br>

She was from the country,<br>

But now she's up a gum-tree --<br>

She let a feller feed 'er, then lead 'er along<br>

What's the good o' cryin'?<br>

She's made a bed to lie in <br>

She's glad to bring the coin in,<br>

And join in this song! <br>

<br>

ALL <br>

<br>

Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah!<br>

That's how it goes!<br>

Oom-pah-pah!Oom-pah-pah!<br>

Ev'ryone knows. <br>

<br>

NANCY <br>

<br>

She is no longer the same blushing rose<br>

Ever since ... oom-pah-pah! <br>

<br>

(spoken) Altogether now! <br>

<br>

NANCY<br>

(sung) There's a little ditty<br>

They're singing in the city<br>

Espeshly when they've been<br>

On the gin<br>

Or the beer<br>

If you've got the patience, <br>

Your own imaginations<br>

Will tell you just exactly what you want to hear... <br>

<br>

COMPANY<br>

Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah!<br>

That's how it goes, <br>

Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah!<br>

Ev'ryone knows.<br>

They all suppose what they want to suppose<br>

When they hear...oom-pah-pah!! <br>

<br>

<br>

ALL <br>

<br>

Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah!<br>

That's how it goes, <br>

Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah!<br>

Ev'ryone knows. <br>

<br>

NANCY <br>

<br>

They all suppose what they want to suppose<br>

When they hear...oom-pah-pah!! <br>

<br>

ALL <br>

<br>

Oom-pah-pah! <br>

<br>
