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

0

[MARY]
Stop! Halt! Pause! Wait!
[CROWD]
What's your silly notion
In causing this commotion
Who are you to dally
With Throtty's big finale?
[MARY]
Before you go any further
With this passion show
I would like to introduce
A fashion show
[TRIXIE, spoken]
A fashion show
[GIRLS, spoken]
Oh
[KRUGER, spoken]
We've got no time for that!
One, two—
[MARY, spoken]
But they're the very latest models. Look!
[GIRLS, spoken]
Oh
[KRUGER, spoken]
Wait a minute
What about these executions?
[TRIXIE, spoken]
Oh, shut up, Kruger, we wanna see the dresses
You can have the executions afterwards
[GIRLS, spoken]
Yes!
[MARY, spoken]
All right girls, let's see them
[Music for the fashion show. The five WIVES enter, each wearing a lovely evening gown.]
[TRIXIE, spoken]
Tell me Mary, where did you get those gorgeous dresses?
[MARY, spoken]
From Paris, the latest fashion
They came on the same boat that brought the guillotine
[TRIXIE, spoken]
Have you got one for me?
[MARY, spoken]
Yes, and for every woman here
[GIRLS, spoken]
Hooray!
[MARY, spoken]
But they won't do you any good because you can't wear them
And why can't you wear them?
Because under the revolution
You've got to wear the same costume all the time
Blue, blue, blue
While the women of Paris and the women of London
Are getting into the latest fall frocks
You'll still be wearing that same blue blouse
As long as he's your Dictator
[TRIXIE, spoken]
Then down with the Dictator!
[GIRLS, spoken]
Yay!
[TRIXIE]
Down with Kruger, the Dictator!
[GIRLS]
The Dictator!
[TRIXIE]
To our sex he will not cater!
[GIRLS]
Will not cater!
