Take Your Pretty Partner.

Seq - Dr. J.Pitt-Payne. Kar - Bunty Pritchard Jones. May 2001.

[Marjorie] When rushing round the whirl
of parties in Society,

to flirt with any girl
is not an impropriety.

[Grasmere] You smile at her,
she laughs at you,
you make a little joke or two;

it may be old,
it may be new,
There's nothing like variety.

[Nan] But when you're going to a ball,
there's one you think of first of all.

[Rajah] And you feel that the world
has become more gay,

when your little pet partner
comes your way!

[Men] Take your pretty partner at the ball,
Take your pretty partner at the ball.

[Girls] She who dances best of all,
she whose charms will never pall,
is your own pet partner for the ball.

[Marjorie] Perhaps her chaperone
may show some contrariety,

as frequently is known
in very good Society!

[Nan] You take the chaperone to sup,
and charitably keep it up,

with iced champagne and claret cup,
there's nothing like variety!

[Sophie] Your partner longs for cool and calm,
you find them both behind a palm.

[Rajah] And you're utterly lost for an hour or two,
with your little pet partner there with you!

[Men] Kiss your pretty partner at the ball.
Kiss your pretty partner at the ball.

[Girls] Then upon your knees you fall,
Vow you love her best of all,
and you've won your partner at the ball.

[Girls] Who's your pretty partner at the ball?
Who's your pretty partner at the ball?

I should love to have the chance,
all through life with you to dance,
for I like my partner at the ball.

[They all Dance!]
