Entrance of Quakers and Double Chorus.

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

[Chorus of Quakers] While our worthy village neighbours
gossip, or resume their labours,

from the busy world retreating,
we will hold our Quakers' Meeting!

With our friends and our relations,
sit in silent meditations,

not a single word repeating,
so we hold our Quaker Meeting!

[Villagers] Why are you looking so glum and blue,
Solomon, Solomon Grundy?

We have a budget of news for you,
Solomon, Solomon Grundy!

There have been such goings on at the inn,
really we hardly know where to begin,

stay for a chat,
for it isn't a sin,
Solomon, Solomon Grundy!

Ah! Why should you stick in your hall all day,
Solomon, Solomon Grundy?

Passing the time in a foolish way,
nothing to drink nor a word to say!

Solomon, Solomon Grundy!
Couldn't you leave it till Sunday,

stay and be wise,
open your eyes,
Solomon, Solomon Grundy!

[Chorus of Quakers] Nay friends, nay,
nay friends, nay!
We cannot stay!

[Villagers] Don't be mum as any mouse,
when the cat is at her,

leave your stuffy Meeting House.
That'll never matter,

we've a lot of news to tell,
that'll take some beating.

So today you might as well
drop your Quakers' Meeting!

Have a talk and take a glass,
that'll be enjoyment;

If you want the time to pass,
that's the right employment!

Stay a bit and you will hear,
something worth repeating,

then we'll leave you, never fear,
to your Quakers' Meeting!

We will leave you, never fear,
to your Meeting.
