No. 1 - Opening Chorus

Lyrics by Adrian Ross

[Chorus:] Oh, his Lordship rather keeps things up,
[Men:] He keeps things up,
[Girls:] They come to sup--
[All:] Lots of ladies and of noblemen,
That's life in the Upper Ten!
[Girls:] Veuve Clicquot on the go,
Until three A. M.
All on ice, and the price
Doesn't bother them!
[Men:] If my Lord can't afford it some day
[Girls:] As people say,
[All:] Then the Duke will have to pay!
Oh! and after they have done, you know,
[Men:] There'll be some scraps
[Girls:] For us perhaps!
[All:] When we clear away the plates and chairs,
You'll see high life down stairs!
[Men:] For no one cares--
[Girls:] What goes down stairs.
