jerry herman - the tea party lyrics
[countess aurelia, spoken]
i haven’t brought you both here just for a tea party. i wish i knew more about the law. constance, wasn’t your late husband’s brother an attorney?
[constance, spoken]
emile? i remember him vividly. and i remember henri, and armand, and michel, and—
(sung)
i remember claude: his face was gaunt, his skin was pale
his bony little fingers were so delicate and frail
yes, i remember claude in every intimate detail
but i remember absolutely nothing about my husband
and i remember georges: his voice was deep and insincere
his hot and heavy breathing and his lewd licentious leer
the passionate obscenities he whispered in my ear
but i remember absolutely nothing about my husband
[countess, spoken]
constance, we’re not interested in your husband
[constance, spoken]
neither was i
[gabrielle, spoken]
oh, what memories i have. all those young doughboys, and general pershing waving his arms and throwing kisses at me!
[countess, spoken]
gabrielle, dear, today we need facts, not your made up memories
[gabrielle, spoken]
how dare you question my memories!
[gabrielle & countess]
suppose i were to say your pearls are false!
they were, they were
i’m not asking you what they were, i’m asking you what they are
surely you must know, when you wear pearls
that little by little the pearls become real
and isn’t it the same with memories?
[constance, spoken]
get your memories out of this room, i won’t have them sitting around here, staring at me!
[gabrielle, spoken]
the next thing you’ll say is that d_ckie doesn’t exist!
[gabrielle & constance]
d_ckie, darling little d_ckie
i’m so proud of my little plump little
shy little, cuddly chap
d_ckie, d_ckie
always lying flat on your fat tummy
here on your dear mummy’s lap!
stop barking!
even when i have to scold you
mummy’s just as thrilled as can be
how magnificently you obey
he’s incredibly spoiled!
i will not sit back
and allow you to insult him this way!
d_ckie, poor d_ckie, dear d_ckie
the fact is, my dears
that i didn’t even bring him today
[countess, spoken]
we must have an expert opinion from an expert, whether he exists or not
[constance, spoken]
then i’ll go straight home and consult my voices! most of them have passed into my hot water bottle… except on fridays, when i can hear them everywhere!
(sung)
chatter, chatter, chatter
there are voices in my pantry
that are wishing me a hearty appetite
gurgle, gurgle, gurgle
there are voices in my teapot
with advice for housewives
chatter, chatter, chatter
there are voices in my pillow
that have come to tuck me in and spend the night
and voices in my vacuum cleaner
that can be extremely impolite
chatter, chatter, chatter
voices in my closet saying
“wear the fuchsia gloves and purple veil!”
and voices in my piano
singing up and down the oriental scale
if i welcome them and take them to my bosom
it’s quite obvious indeed
that those lovely little voices
are the only friends a girl will ever need
[countess, spoken]
i don’t call those voices. if, on the other hand, one could consult voltaire…
[constance, spoken]
is he here?
[countess, spoken]
certainly, with other great minds of the past, offering us their help and advice!
(sung)
everything that was, is
everything that lived, lives
every little thought ever thought is as lasting as time
everything that was, is
everything that is, will be
some distant day they’ll be saying the saying that i’m saying now
for we are not alone here
there are other minds here
moliere and keats are enraged and engaged in a row
listen to the lovely language
all the lessons voltaire ever taught
and all the thoughts that buddha ever thought
are right here, in this air, in this house
in this room with us now!
[gabrielle, spoken]
where is voltaire? what is he doing?
[constance, spoken]
playing with d_ckie, no doubt
[gabrielle, constance, & countess]
speak d_ckie
speak voices
speak voltaire
