Patience: When I First Put This Uniform On - Glyndebourne Festival Chorus[00:00:00]
When I first put this uniform on[00:00:09]
I said as I looked in the glass[00:00:11]
It's one to a million[00:00:13]
That any civilian[00:00:15]
My figure and form will surpass[00:00:16]
Gold lace has a charm for the fair[00:00:18]
And I've plenty of that and to spare[00:00:20]
While a lover's professions[00:00:22]
When uttered in Hessians[00:00:24]
Are eloquent everywhere[00:00:25]
A fact that I counted upon[00:00:27]
When I first put this uniform on[00:00:29]
By a simple coincidence few[00:00:32]
Could ever have counted upon[00:00:34]
The same thing occurred to me[00:00:36]
When I first put this uniform on[00:00:38]
I said when I first put it on[00:00:41]
It is plain to the veriest dunce[00:00:43]
That every beauty[00:00:45]
Will feel it her duty[00:00:47]
To yield to its glamour at once[00:00:48]
They will see that I'm freely gold-laced[00:00:50]
In a uniform handsome and chaste[00:00:52]
But the peripatetics[00:00:55]
Of long-haired aesthetics[00:00:56]
Are very much more to their taste[00:00:57]
Which I never counted upon[00:00:59]
When I first put this uniform on[00:01:01]
By a simple coincidence few[00:01:04]
Could ever have counted upon[00:01:06]
I didn't anticipate that[00:01:09]
When I first put this uniform on[00:01:11]
