Sullivan: 9. Comes A Train Of Little Ladies

Act 1 - 9. Comes A Train Of Little Ladies - The D'Oyly Carte Opera Chorus/The New Symphony Orchestra Of London/Isidore Godfrey

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 it's beauty but a bubble

Bound to break ere long

Are it's palaces and pleasures

Fantasies that fade

And the glory of it's treasures

Shadow of a shade

And the glory of it's treasures

Shadow of a shade

Shadow of a shade

Schoolgirls we eighteen and under

From scholastic trammels free

And we wonder how we wonder

We wonder how we wonder

What on earth the world can be

What on earth the world can be
