No. 14 - A Lament Lyrics by Willard Spenser

[All:] Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh!
[Dolly:] We've lost our pretty laces,
Our kerchiefs with the cases,
To wipe our pretty faces.
[All:] Who ever knew such woes.
[Dolly:] Our feathers, broidered fichus,
Our airy, fairy tissues,
Our surrah gowns, our French shoes,
[All:] That pinched our pretty toes.
[Rufus:] We're fleeced of wool and we are plucked of plume,
With not a pin-feather remaining.
[Miss Hurricane:] But we should smile, and we should never fume,
For 'tis, you see, official gaining.
[Teddy:] Bedad! Who knows, arrah! where plunder goes,
Yes, ah! where, oh! where does it go to?
[Rufus:] It goes, it goes to feed the crows,
It goes, it goes in to-to.
[All:] It goes, it goes to feed the crows,
It goes, it goes in to-to.
It goes, it goes to feed the crows,
It goes, it goes in to-to.
