[Chorus:]
Who is this we see?
We've a shrewd suspicion.
Doubtless it must be
Someone of position,
Boasting in addition
Noble pedigree,
Surely 'tis Monsieur le grand Marquis!
[Ladies:]
Welcome honoured Sir,
Fortune send you blessing,
Ev'ry heart you stir,
You're so prepossessing--
[All:]
We don't mind confessing
Proud indeed are we
Thus to greet Monsieur le grand
le grand Marquis,
Monseigneur le Marquis de Brevancourt!
