Richard D'Oyly Carte - Comes a train of little ladies lyrics

[SCHOOLGIRLS] Comes a train of little ladies From scholastic trammels free Each a little bit afraid is Wondering what the world can be! Is it but a world of trouble — Sadness set to song? Is its beauty but a bubble Bound to break ere long? Are its palaces and pleasures Fantasies that fade? And the glory of its treasures Shadow of a shade? And the glory of its treasures Shadow of a shade? Shadow of a shade? Schoolgirls we, eighteen and under From scholastic trammels free And we wonder — how we wonder! — We wonder — how we wonder! — What on earth the world can be! What on earth the world can be!
