<br>

Chairman:<br>

What's a king without his crown?<br>

Take away his throne and gown, <br>

He could be the rabble or the Russian czar.<br>

Judge each creature of our race<br>

By each feature in his face<br>

Look at him - ( I rest my case) - well there you are!<br>

And it matters not to me what part of town you've come from<br>

We but cheer you've made it here at all! <br>

Here within this garish parish called the music hall.<br>

<br>

Chairman & Company:<br>

And there you are!<br>

How very glad we are that there you are!<br>

It isn't who you are but where you are.<br>

And there you are, and grateful are we to see.<br>

How fine and fair you are! There you are!<br>

<br>

Prysock:<br>

I am standing with a gent who seems singularly bent<br>

On attaching both his hands to both my knees.<br>

<br>

Nutting:<br>

I'm considering the lap of a most engaging chap<br>

And I'll let him do exactly as I please.<br>

<br>

Paget:<br>

I've a lady down in front who's handed me her latch key.<br>

Surely she must know that spells her doom.<br>

<br>

Peregrine:<br>

And this man has grand designs to show me <br>

In my dressing room...<br>

<br>

Chairman & Company:<br>

And there you are!<br>

How distingue and debonair you are!<br>

Just slightly south of Leicester Square you are!<br>

That thankful we all should be full well-aware you are!<br>

So lightning quick let's all kick up a fuss. <br>

We can but pray your trust is blind in us.<br>

So drink your fill and just unwind in us. <br>

A warmly wicked frame of mind in us<br>

You'll find in us<br>

We want you! and not a lot we care for<br>

where you've been<br>

And not a jot we care how you got in:<br>

We but care that there you are!<br>

Damned if there you are!<br>

<br>
