When Foreign Princes Come to Visit Us Lyrics

1963 Broadway
The Girl Who Came to Supper the Musical - When Foreign Princes Come to Visit Us Lyrics

Music and lyrics by Noël Coward.

When foreign princes come to visit us
Usually from the Balkans
We spend our time looking helpful and solicitous
And hovering about like falcons.
If one of them wants a - tra la la la la
We have to set the stage for a seduction
And what with the lighting, champagne and caviar
It's certainly the hell of a production.
For Emperors and Czars
Fresh flowers in every vase
And we introduce some spruce loose-covers,
We also burn some scent,
In a spoon that's rather bent,
Essential for potential royal lovers,
Arch-Dukes - Grand Dukes
And rather out-of-hand Dukes
Whose countries can't be found on any map,
To inflame their tepid blood
We release a gurgling flood
Of Cordon Rouge and Chateau Neuf Du Pape.
When foreign Princes come to visit us
Life is an exhausting strain,
We long and pray
For that happy happy day
When they bugger off home again.
