The General’s Gone to a Party Lyrics by George Dvorsky, Larry Kert, New York Choral Artists

Gershwin: Of Thee I Sing / Let ’Em Eat Cake

0

[LIEUTENANT]
I have a report
To make. In short
The General's gone to a party
[WINTERGREEN & TWEEDLEDEE]
The General's gone to a party?
[ARMY]
The General's gone to a party?
[LIEUTENANT]
That's my report
In short
[ARMY]
We all approve
The General's move
If the lady is young and hearty
[LIEUTENANT]
I'm positive she is hearty
The general likes them tarty
[ARMY]
Then we approve
His move
[ALL MEN]
We all approve
His move
[WINTERGREEN & TWEEDLEDEE]
Alackaday, alackaday
The General has been called away
[ENSEMBLE]
Adayalack, adayalack
Oh, what'll they do 'til he gets back?
[WINTERGREEN & TWEEDLEDEE]
Now, what's to be suggested?
Now, what in the world to do?
For you want me arrested
And that's what I want for you
Let's leave it to the Army
I know they're on my side
And by their decision
We'll abide
[ARMY]
The General now may be in bed
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear
We agreed to do what the General said
But the General isn't here
[WINTERGREEN]
I know the General isn't here
So it's you who must decide
Think it over! Who's the boss to be
Tweedledee or me?
