Rising Early In The Morning - Henry A Lytton/The D'Oyly Carte Opera Company[00:00:00]

Rising early in the morning[00:00:04]

We proceed to light the fire[00:00:07]

Then our majesty adorning[00:00:09]

In it's workaday attire[00:00:12]

We embark without delay[00:00:14]

On the duties of the day[00:00:17]

First we polish off some batches[00:00:21]

Of political despatches[00:00:22]

And foreign politicians circumvent[00:00:23]

Then if business isn't heavy[00:00:26]

We may hold a royal levee[00:00:27]

Or ratify some acts of parliament[00:00:28]

Then we probably review the household troops[00:00:31]

With the usual shalloo humps and shalloo hoops[00:00:33]

Or receive with ceremonial and state[00:00:36]

An interesting Eastern potentate[00:00:38]

After that we generally[00:00:40]

Go and dress our private valet[00:00:41]

It's a rather nervous[00:00:43]

Duty he's a touchy little man[00:00:44]

Write some letters literary[00:00:45]

For our private secretary[00:00:46]

He is shaky in his spelling[00:00:48]

So we help him if we can[00:00:49]

Then in view of cravings inner[00:00:51]

We go down and order dinner[00:00:52]

Then we polish the regalia[00:00:53]

And the coronation plate[00:00:55]

Spend an hour in titivating[00:00:56]

All our gentlemen in waiting[00:00:58]

Or we run on little errands[00:00:59]

For the ministers of state[00:01:00]

Oh philosophers may sing[00:01:02]

Of the troubles of a King[00:01:05]

Yet the duties are delightful[00:01:06]

And the privileges great[00:01:07]

But the privilege and pleasure[00:01:09]

That we treasure beyond measure[00:01:10]

Is to run on little errands for the ministers of state[00:01:11]

Oh philosophers may sing[00:01:14]

Of the troubles of a King[00:01:17]

Yet the duties are delightful[00:01:18]

And the privileges great[00:01:20]

And the culminating pleasure[00:01:21]

That we treasure beyond measure[00:01:22]

Is the gratifying feeling that our duty has been done[00:01:23]

After luncheon making merry[00:01:26]

On a bun and glass of sherry[00:01:28]

If we've nothing in particular to do[00:01:29]

We may make a proclamation[00:01:31]

Or receive a deputation[00:01:33]

Then we possibly create a peer or two[00:01:34]

Then we help a fellow creature on his path[00:01:36]

With the garter or the thistle or the bath[00:01:39]

Or we dress and toddle off in semi state[00:01:41]

To a festival a function or a fete[00:01:43]

Then we go and stand as sentry[00:01:46]

At the palace private entry[00:01:47]

Marching hither marching thither[00:01:48]

Up and down and to and fro[00:01:50]

While the warrior on duty[00:01:51]

Goes in search of beer and beauty[00:01:52]

And it generally happens[00:01:54]

That he hasn't far to go[00:01:55]

He relieves us if he's able[00:01:57]

Just in time to lay the table[00:01:58]

Then we dine and serve the coffee[00:01:59]

And at half past twelve or one[00:02:01]

With a pleasure that's emphatic[00:02:03]

We retire to our attic[00:02:04]

With the gratifying feeling[00:02:06]

That our duty has been done[00:02:07]

Oh philosophers may sing[00:02:09]

Of the troubles of a King[00:02:12]

But of pleasures there are many[00:02:13]

And of worries there are none[00:02:15]

And the culminating pleasure[00:02:16]

That we treasure beyond measure[00:02:17]

Is the gratifying feeling that our duty has been done[00:02:18]

Oh philosophers may sing[00:02:22]

Of the troubles of a King[00:02:25]

But of pleasures there are many[00:02:26]

And of worries there are none[00:02:27]

And the culminating pleasure[00:02:28]

That we treasure beyond measure[00:02:29]

Is the gratifying feeling that our duty has been done[00:02:31]
