Well Fair Laddie. Extravaganza 1961

Orgies are Gorgeous

Orgies are Gorgeous

Welcome to the city
Where all the girls are pretty
We're game to entertain you by night or by day
Rome is where the heart is
And that's why all the parties
Want you along too—any number can play.

Orgies are gorgeous, we're set for the night
Swallowing, wallowing, with all our might.

If you -are struck with a strange appetite
Do as the romans do.

When a roman legion's
Been in a foreign "region
At home back in Rome they go out on the spree
They are in the mood for
What music is the food for
And they don't have to pay 'cos all roman's are free.

Orgies are gorgeous, we're set for the night
Swallowing, wallowing, with all our might.

If you should meet with a bit of all right
Do as the romans do.

For a roman party
You must be hale and hearty
A hooly so unruly needs vigour and verve
There's a dozen courses
With strong wines and sauces
And a slave-girl from Gaul as a kind of hors d'oeuvre.

Orgies are gorgeous, we're set for the night
Swallowing, wallowing, with all our might.

Whether you're sober or whether you're tight
Do as the romans do.

Puritans and prudes
Find our ways rather rude
If they try to criticise us they land with a thud

We've an appetite
To be wicked, and a right
To be sinful with a skinful of hot latin blood

Orgies are gorgeous, we're set for the night
Swallowing, wallowing, with all our might.

Soon as you're sure that the wife's out of sight
Do as the romans do.
