come to florence (”civic song”) lyrics
[solo]
if you’re bent on viewing
something doing
come to florence!
where is life more active
and attractive
than in florence?
where are people singing
at a swinging
but in florence?

[all]
everything warrants
our singing of florence
so, florence, we’re singing of you
everything warrants
our singing of florence
so, florence, we’re singing of you
[solo]
there’s artistic treasure
none can measure
here in florence
great is every statue
looking at you
here in florence
and we’ve gotta lotta
terracotta
here in florence

[all]
praises in torrents
we shower on florence
oh, florence, you always come through!

[women]
in all of italy
no brighter star
we’re singing prettily
right where we are

[men]
don’t mention napoli
venice or rome
florence sings happily:
no place like home!
[solo]
if you’re spending ducats
by the buckets
you’re in florence
all the girls are busty
life is l_sty
here in florence
and did you know that dante
and chianti
came from florence?

[all]
everything warrants
our singing of florence
so, florence, we’re singing of you
everything warrants
our singing of florence
so, florence, we’re singing of you

[short dance follows. it is interrupted by the sound of m_ffled drum.]

[all]
hear the drum, hear the drum
beating out his fate
here they come! here they come!
[hangman]
i can hardly wait

[all]
hear the drum!
here they come!

[maffio]
at this point no angel or devil or genie
can possibly save the neck of cellini

[all]
here they come! time to yell
hail, cellini and farewell!

[apprentices, models, a lawyer, and cellini march on.]

[apprentices]
our master
has met disaster
our sculptor will sculp no more
but high up
he’ll find a tie_up
redesigning heaven’s golden door

[all]
he will make completer
the portals of saint peter

[models]
the models of florence
disciples of grace
all view with abhorrence
what’s now taking place

[all]
oh, models of florence
your master is through
your tears fall in torrents
but what can you do?
the fatal bell has rung
the trap will soon be sprung!

[magistrate, spoken]
benvenuto cellini, have you a final say to say? we allow three minutes.

[magistrate takes out a sand clock and starts it afresh.]
