1929 West End Bitter Sweet the Musical - Bitter Sweet Waltz Lyrics
Music and lyrics by Noël Coward.
OFFICERS: We wish to order wine, please, Expressly from the Rhine, please, The year we really don't much care.
LADIES: Oh dear, Now that you're here Think of the wear and tear.
OFFICERS: We hope without insistence To overcome resistance In all you little ladies fair.
LADIES: Oh well, How can we tell Whether you'd really dare?
OFFICERS: We sincerely hope it's really not a thankless task Amusing us, Won't you please agree?
LADIES: Ah me!
OFFICERS: You could quickly break our hearts By everything we ask Refusing us; Cruel that would be, Ladies, can't you see! We're officers and gentlemen, Reliable and true, Considerate and chivalrous In everything we do. Though we're gay and drunk a trifle, All our laughter we should stifle, Were we summoned by a bugle call. We're amorous and passionate, But dignified and stern, Which if you play us false you'll quickly learn. Do not let our presence grieve you, When we've loved you we shall leave you, For we're officers and gentlemen, that's all!
