D'oyly Carte Opera Company Comes A Train Of Little Ladies
Enter procession of Yum-Yum's schoolfellows, heralding
Yum-Yum,
Peep-Bo, and Pitti-Sing.
CHORUS OF GIRLS.
Comes a train of little ladies
From scholastic trammels free,
Each a little bit afraid is,
Wondering what the world can be!
Is it but a world of trouble--
Sadness set to song?
Is its beauty but a bubble
Bound to break ere long?
Are its palaces and pleasures
Fantasies that fade?
And the glory of its treasures
Shadow of a shade?
Schoolgirls we, eighteen and under,
From scholastic trammels free,
And we wonder--how we wonder!--
What on earth the world can be!
