The Trial.

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

[Clotilde] Too long this world has been obsessed
by women such as you.

It's time a faithful wife
put up a fight!
[Girls spoken] Right!

[Alexander] Now, what's the use of fighting?
[Clotilde] Alexander, that will do!

I'm going to win you back this very night.
[Julie] Not tonight!

[Clotilde] We must decide who owns the right
and title to this man.
Let's argue calmly without fuss or fury.

[Julie] I'm willing to discuss the case,
if you will state your plan.
[Clotilde] We'll leave it to my girl friends as a jury.

[Julie] That isn't fair.
[Clotilde] But that's the way we'll do it,
I'll not budge.

Don't worry, Julie,
Alexander's going to be the judge.

[Alexander] Here's a case where two lovesick girls
lay claim to one fine man;
ahem, that's me.

[Girls] We'll decide which girl should get the prize!
[Alexander] And, ladies, what a prize,
that prize will be!

[Clotilde] Dear judge and ladies of the jury,
I have one thing to suggest:
Why not take each of us by turn and give her a test?

[Julie] That will be rough on you,
for anything you'll do
I can do twice as well.

[Clotilde] You lie like hell!
[Alexander spoken] Order!

[Clotilde] I can sing,
[Julie] I can dance,

[Alexander] You'll get your chance to sing and dance,
to a theme that's light and lilty,
but don't forget the law of France:

Until you prove you're innocent,
we assume that you're guilty.
Proceed.

[Julie Dances]

[Clotilde] Alexander dear, I love you,
I'll repeat it ev'ry day, dear.

Alexander, dear I love you,
It's a simple thing to say, dear.

[Alexander] I think I've seen sufficient evidence,
the case is fairly tried,

and both these dames are guilty,
that is what I decide.

[Girls] But then you, poor dear judge,
you're left without a girl!

[Julie and Clotilde] You have to take a girl!
[Alexander] I'll take the jury!

[They all Dance]
