Act 2 - Opening Chorus.

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

[Chorus of Milliners] In this abode
of Madame La Mode,
ev'rything's bustle and flurry and fuss;

Early and late,
our customers wait,
giving no end of commissions to us.

And, if you try, to ascertain why
we are enjoying so great a success,

well, let us add, Society's mad
on a curious fad in their style of dress,

A curious fad!
A curious fad!

A curious fad!
A curious fad!
A curious, curious fad!

In this abode of Madame La Mode,
ev'rything's bustle and flurry and fuss;

Early and late,
our customers wait,
giving no end of commissions to us.

And, if you try, to ascertain why
we are enjoying so great a success,

well, let us add, Society's mad
on a curious fad in their style of dress,
of dress!

[Solo] Fashion soon dethrones
frocks of a bygone day;

none bow down
to The Empire Gown,
or own the Directoire sway.

Where is the hobble skirt,
popular once awhile?

Parisiennes fair,
decline to wear

a costume cut in anything but
The Quaker style,
the quaint little Quaker style!

Fashion soon dethrones
