The Orchid - 1905 - The Lady Secretary

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London Uk - 05 Oct 2001

A statesman in the Cabinet
Wants plenty of assistance,
To think of things he might forget
And keep the bores at distance.
He has a man to pull the wires,
And write a speech or letter;
For social matters he requires
A helper rather better.
And that is why,
And that is why

I am a Minister's Lady Secretary!
Playing a sort of the good attendant fairy!
Taking him out to dance and play,
Then if he has to go, I stay
As The Minister's charming Lady Secretary!

Oh she is a Minister's Lady Secretary!
Playing a sort of the good attendant fairy!
Taking him out to dance and play,
Then if he has to go, she stays
As The Minister's charming Lady Secretary!

I often join him in his box
To see the last successes;
I wear the newest Paris frocks
The chief provides the dresses!
If called away by news of weight,
No trouble he evinces.
He says "Perhaps I may be late.
I'll pick you up at Prince's."
Of course it's right,
Of course it's right!

I am the Minister's Lady Secretary!
Always exceedingly circumspect and wary!
If he should order iced champagne,
Nobody, surely can complain
of the Minister's charming Lady Secretary!

She is the Minister's Lady Secretary!
Always exceedingly circumspect and wary!
If he should order iced champagne,
Nobody, surely can complain
of the Minister's charming Lady Secretary!
