[Chorus:]
Oh, it's so pleasant that you and we
Can meet at present for talk and tea!
So lucky this is, the cat's away,
And mice and misses and men can play;
We're all upsetting the College rule
And quite forgetting that this is school;
So freely brothers and sisters mix
With all the others from four to six!
[Girls:]
Four to six!
[Men:]
Four to six!
[All:]
Four to six!
[Sisters:]
I'm so glad that you have managed to be here,
Brother dear!
[Men:]
I am really very proud to be invited!
[Sisters:]
You will let me introduce you to my chum,
Now you've come!
[Men:]
I am sure I shall be awfully delighted!
[Other girls:]
I have often heard your sister talk of you!
[Sisters:]
Yes, I do!
[Men:]
Then I fear that her description doesn't flatter!
[Other girls:]
Oh! perhaps it wouldn't do for me to say!
[Sisters:]
Yes, you may!
[Men:]
Well, so long as we are here, it doesn't matter!
[All:]
Oh, it's so pleasant that you and we
Can meet at present for talk and tea!
So lucky this is, the cat's away,
And mice and misses and men can play;
We're all upsetting the College rule
And quite forgetting that this is school;
So freely brothers and sisters mix
With all the others from four to six!
[Girls:]
Four to six!
[Men:]
Four to six!
[All:]
Four to six!
