Mr. Jeremiah, Esquire.

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

[Phoebe] When we are really rich,
then married we will get,

[Jeremiah] And settle down,
somewhere in town,
among the swagger set!

[Phoebe] A house in Berkeley Square,
will suit me to the ground,

[Jeremiah] We'll dine in state, off silver plate,
with flunkeys standing round!
[Both] With great big flunkeys standing round!

[Phoebe] "Oh, Jerry! Will you pass the sherry?
Kindly bid your footman stir the fire."

[Jeremiah] That's the sort of thing we'll say,
on that happy, happy day,
when I'm Mister Jeremiah, Esquire!

[Phoebe] And when the Autumn comes,
we'll rent a moor or two,

[Jeremiah] And ask our friends,
for long weekends,
to shoot our coverts through.

[Phoebe] We'll stalk the wily grouse,
and chase the saucy stags,

[Jeremiah] With ev'ry shot we'll add a lot
of braces to our bags.
[Both] We'll both add braces to our bags!

[Phoebe] "Oh, Jerry! That was careless, very;
At a fox you never ought to fire."

[Jeremiah] I don't care what people say,
I'll shoot partridges in May,
When I'm Mister Jeremiah, Esquire!

[Phoebe] Of course we'll have to keep
a stud of motor cars;

[Jeremiah] And I will pay five shillings,
for each of my cigars.

[Phoebe] And then we'll entertain,
in fashion swell and grand;

[Jeremiah] We'll give a ball,
inviting all the highest in the land.
[Both] The tiptop people in the land.

[Phoebe] "Oh, Jerry! This is ripping, very,
of a lively dance I never tire."

[Jeremiah] And with duchesses galore,
I will lightly tread the floor
when I'm Mister Jeremiah, Esquire!
