The Real Smart Set.

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

[Sophie] I'm tired of selling silk and stuff,
and Summer surplus stocks:
In future I shall go and bring the latest Paris frocks.

Of making dresses I've enough,
and adding up accounts,

and sticking strings on skirts and things,
and tacking on a flounce.
[Chorus] And Tacking on a flounce.

[Sophie] I've set my mind,
on being a social swell,
and you will find I'll do it extremely well,

if you're inclined to covet a coronet,
stick to me for I'm going to be,
in The Real Smart Set.

[Chorus] I've set my mind,
on being a social swell,
and you will find I'll do it extremely well,

if you're inclined to covet a coronet,
stick to me for I'm going to be,
in The Real Smart Set.

[Sophie] I'm going to start the day at ten,
and drive about till two;

then after lunch I'll skim through Punch,
in case there's something new.

I'll write a line to several men,
Commanding them to tea,

and if they fail, the Daily Mail
will hear a word from me;
[Chorus] Will hear a word from me.

[Sophie] I've set my mind
on being a social swell,
and you will find I'll do it extremely well.

If you have dined and you're anxious to play roulette,
come to me for I'm going to be
in The Real Smart Set.

[Chorus] I've set my mind
on being a social swell,
and you will find I'll do it extremely well.

If you have dined and you're anxious to play roulette,
come to me for I'm going to be
in The Real Smart Set.
