Act 1—Scene 3

Act 1—Scene 3

A Song for Girls

We want men and we've heard it said
That they've 40,000 surplus
Down in old N Zed;
Think of every bed
Uninhabited
Men exhibited
Waiting to be wed
We want men
We want men
We want men
We want men
Our female instinct
Is very far from extinct
'Cos we want men
To satisfy our yen
Betya pretty life we do
Doodle oodle oodle
Doodle oodle oodle
Doodle oodle oodle
Doodle oodle oodle
Betya pretty life we do
Betya pretty life we do

Captain's And Barani's Story

Underneath the table
I spend most of the year
Underneath the table
I finish off the beer
Every night you'll find me
Lying on the floor
Hoping that the party
Won't end till we have drunk some more
Drinking when it's raining
Drinking when its fine
I think-it's good to be alive
Bottles at my elbow
No wonder I feel gay
Underneath the table
I pass my nights away.

Sellington Here we Come!

Now here we are in Sellington,
Now our trip is done
Mal de mer we cannot bear
But still we've had some fun, fun, fun, etc.

So here's to our saucy ship,
Here's to the crew,
Here's hoping, gulls and buoys,
That we get what we want in Sellington.
