A Weekend At Hareford(Original Cast Recording/1986) - "Me And My Girl The Musical" Ensemble

作词：Douglas Furber

作曲：Noel Gay

The season in London has started to bore

There's nothing to do there you've not done before

The people are tiresome

The parties a chore

We just couldn't stay there for one minute more

The weekends in London have lost all their fun

Now Wimlbedon's over

The test match is done

Now Henley has finished and Ascot has run

It's time for the country it's time for the sun

There isn't any doubt about the best place we know

It's Hareford Hall in Hampshire where the smart people go

If the Duchess does invite you then you're top of the tree

Thanks goodness thank goodness she did write to me

She did write to me

The atmosphere will lighten when we reach Hareford Hall

And ev'rything will brighten when we all at the Hall

You'll find no one will force you to waken at dawn

There's breakfast in bed and there's lunch on the lawn

And if there inches you'd like to work off

There's swimming

There's croquet

There's tennis

And golf

Without equivocation we can all recommend

The noble institution of the Hareford weekend

It has its social equal no-where else in the land

There's no other home so stately and grand

So stately and grand

The atmosphere has heightened now we're near Hareford Hall

The younger guests are frightened who've not been here at all

But you're welcome so long as you keep to the rules

The Duchess has never been partial to fools

But really so long as you know what is done

You're happy enjoying your place in the sun

For a weekend at Hareford is simply divine

The people the parties the food and the wine

There's leisure and pleasure for every one

You're happy enjoying your place in the sun

It does seem such a pity that they can't find the heir

The family solicitor has looked everywhere

It's rumoured at the moment that he's tearing around

The Duchess demands that the heir shall be found

The heir shall be found

Listen everybody for the news will soon be round

The family solicitor has run the heir to ground

There's not a doubt about it there isn't any snag

He's dug him out of somewhere and he's got him in the bag

I've seen him I've seen him he's here

And almost any moment (almost any moment almost moment)

Any blessed moment he'll appear

Is he dark Is he fair

Do you think we shall care for the new Lord Hareford

Is he short Is he tall

Do you think we shall fall for the new Lord Hareford

Won't you tell us if you can what you know about the man

Is he what we all expect Is he circumspect

Is he weak Is he strong

Does he really belong Is he all he should be

Well very soon you will see him

Very soon (very soon very soon very soon)

We shall see
