No. 11 - Scene and Concerted Piece - "Awake, Sleepers."

Lyrics by Glen MacDonough

[Chris:] The lamp,
[Aladdin:] The lamp,
[Chris:] The lamp,
[Aladdin:] The lamp,
[Fanny:] The lamp,
[Chorus:] Well, what about the lamp?
[Fanny:] The lamp,
[Aladdin:] The lamp,
[Chris:] It's gone,
[Aladdin:] It's gone,
[Chris:] It's gone,
[Aladdin:] It's gone,
[Fanny:] It's gone,
[Chorus:] They say the lamp is gone.
[Fanny:] It's gone,
[Aladdin:] Yes, gone,
[Genie:] One moment, one moment, one moment!
I met a girl who said,
"Propriety and etiquette are laid upon the shelf;"
She said, "Come off" and "Quit it,"
"Get a gait," and "Chase yourself!"
Nor did she hesitate a bit
In negatives to use a "Nit,"
In sporty chatter she'd merrily patter,
In language impolite;
From too much boozing,
I dropt into snoozing,
And the lamp got out of sight.
[Chorus:] 'Tis found!
[Others:] 'Tis found!
[Chris:] The lamp!
[Aladdin:] The lamp!
[Chris:] The lamp!
[Aladdin:] The lamp!
[Fanny:] The lamp!
[Chorus:] Well, what about the lamp?
[Fanny:] It's found!
[Aladdin:] It's found!
[Chris:] They say!
[Aladdin:] They say!
[Chris:] They say!
[Aladdin:] They say!
[Fanny:] They say!
[Chorus:] We say the lamp is found!
[Fanny:] Hooray!
[Chris & Aladdin:] Hooray!
[Genie:] One moment! one moment! one moment!
I know it was that girl.
[Aladdin, Genie & others:] They are fast asleep.
[All:] Awake, sleepers!
[Men:] Hear us call thee to rise.
[All:] Awake, sleepers!
[Men:] Let us gaze on thine eyes.
[All:] Oh, ope thine eyes,
[Men:] fair sleepers,
[All:] Ope thine eyes...
[Fanny:] No guardian of the peace
can with thee trot,
Or match thee in a dozing bee;
The seven sleepers were a wakeful lot,
And not to be compared at all to thee.
[Aladdin & Captain:] At all to thee, great sleepers,
[All:] Sleepers, awake.
The seven sleepers were a wakeful lot, wakeful lot,
[Chorus:] Awake,
[Principals:] No guardian of the peace
can with thee trot,
Or match thee in a dozing bee;
The seven sleepers were a wakeful lot,
And not to be compared at all to thee.
[Men:] Awake, awake,
[Fanny:] The seven sleepers were a wakeful lot
[Men:] Awake, awake,
[Fanny:] The seven sleepers were a wakeful lot
[All:] Sleepers, awake!
The seven sleepers were a wakeful lot
compared to thee.
Awake, awake, awake.
