[00:00:08] As your genial host may I offer a toast

[00:00:12] To the wine buying guest on my right

[00:00:15] (Hooray for the wine buyer)

[00:00:16] (Spoken)

[00:00:16] Yes drag out the cooking sherry for the old colonel

[00:00:18] (Sung)

[00:00:20] May his bank account grow heavy laden with dough

[00:00:24] May he spend it in here every night

[00:00:28] (Every night)

[00:00:31] Seeing this night in its glory

[00:00:34] You people so loyal so true

[00:00:38] Puts me in mind of a story

[00:00:42] (MM)

[00:00:42] Tell us about it pray do-o-o-o-o-o

[00:00:48] (BC)

[00:00:49] The people in the ballroom were stuffy and arty

[00:00:53] So I began to get just a little bit frayed

[00:00:56] I sneaked into the kitchen I dug me a party

[00:01:00] The waiter

[00:01:00] (JT)

[00:01:01] And the porter

[00:01:01] (MM)

[00:01:02] And the second storey maid

[00:01:03] (BC)

[00:01:03] I peeked into the parlour to see what was a-hatchin br />

[00:01:06] In time to hear the hostess suggest a charade

[00:01:09] (MM)

[00:01:10] But who was in the pantry a-laughin an scratchin br />

[00:01:20] (MM)

[00:01:20] The waiter and the porter grabbed a-hold of the maid

[00:01:23] (BC)

[00:01:27] (All)
