On Revient de Chantilly.

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

[Work Girls] On revient de Chantilly!
coming from the races,

they have won, as we can see
by their happy faces!

On revient de Chantilly!
All of them are winners;

there'll be gloves for us, maybe,
gowns and little dinners!

On revient de Chantilly!
coming from the races,

they have won, as we can see
by their happy faces!

[Tenors and Basses] We're back from the races,
with pockets and cases,
all bursting with paper of heavenly blue!

We like a love letter,
but these are far better;

the billet de mille,
is the true billet doux!
The true billet doux!

And it's all through
the luck of our mascot and maiden.

Our hearts are so light
and our purses so laden,

the layer, the backer,
the wily bookmaker,

they're left at the post
by the dear little Quaker!

[Work Girls] the layer, the backer,
the wily bookmaker,

they're left at the post
by the dear little Quaker!

The dear little Quaker!
The Quaker!

[Mannequins] That's the style you have to copy,
that's the dress the men will love;

not the scarlet of the poppy,
but the plumage of the dove!

Quakerism's our religion,
So if men should come to woo,

like the modest little pigeon,
we should simply answer Coo!

So we hail on the day,
when her rule is beginning,

the dear little dove,
so demure and so winning!

As queen of the fashion
we'll loyally take her,

and say "Thou" and "Thee" to her,
just like a Quaker.

The dear little,
queer little Quaker,
The Quaker.
