The Vicarage Dance

from On with the Dance
Fête Galante
 

 

                   I'm just seventeen and a rogue of a girl;
                   My heart is a-throbbing with carnival's whirl,
                   Lovers in plenty I'll have before dawn,
                   As I dance in my semi of mercerized lawn!
 
Refrain        Come with me, come to the vicarage dance.
                   Quick to the ball we must hasten.
                   Those who have gout are allowed to sit out
                   Under the lavatory basin.
                  
                   Several old deans behind Japanese screens
                   Give naughty Cupid a chance,
                   Though I get cramp
                   I'm no end of a scamp
                   Down at the vicarage dance.
