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>
