Rodgers And Hammerstein - The Prince Is Giving A Ball lyrics

(Queen) Lionel take this down: His royal highness, Christopher Rupert Windermere Vladimir Carl Alexander Francois Reginald Lancelot Herman... (Lionel) Herman? (Queen) Herman. Gregory James... (he'll thank us for it later) Is giving a ball! (Lionel) The Prince is Giving a Ball! His royal highness, Christopher Rupert, son of her majesty, Queen Constantina, Charlotte Ermantrude, Gueenavier Mazy... (Stepmother) Mazy? (Lionel) Mazy. Margarita... Is giving a ball! (Townspeople) The Prince is giving a Ball! The Prince is giving a Ball! (Stepmother) They've spread the message far and wide, the Prince in giving a Ball! They say he wants to find a bride, he may find one at the ball! (Calliope) If only he'd propose to me! (Minerva) I wish that he'd propose to me! (Stepmother) Just leave the hair and clothes to me! (Stepmother, Calliope, Minerva) The Prince is giving a Ball! (Lionel) Now if you please, the crown decrees, some fois de soir with frills, A silky sateen in aubergine, a red if someone spills! A surfeit of meat, a side of ham, and lots of beef filets, Some marbleized steaks, a rack of lamb, and veal you raise to braise! Limburger, swiss in gourmandise, cheddar, gruyere, and bleu, Chunks of swiss in barrels, please, make sure that it's hole-y, too! Puddings, and pies, and rum souffles, succulent chocolate rounds, Cream puffs they can chew away to gain some royal pounds! (All) The Prince is giving a Ball! The Prince is giving a Ball! (Instrumental) (All) The Prince is giving a Ball! The Prince is giving a Ball! (Lionel) His royal highness--200 orchids, 400 poppies, 600 roses, 800 lilies-- Christopher Rupert-- 1, 000 oranges, 2, 000 plums-- Windermere Vladimir Carl Alexander-- raspberry, blueberry, strawberry, gooseberry-- Francois Reginald Lancelot Herman, son of her majesty Queen Constantina-- Chocolate cheddar and Charlotte and Mazy-- son of his Caviar, King Maximillian-- Alfred Ladislaw Leopold Sydney-- (All) Sydney! (Lionell) SYDNEY! ? (All) Is giving a Ball!
