dwsChorale: Music

The Stripper

(

)

arr D W Solomons after Gilbert and Sullivan

Gilbert and Sullivan (in Princess Ida) parody the music of Handel in the song "Their aid I thus disclaim", so I in turn parody them.

For the original G&S words see here

Anita (Arac`s little-known sister, who works in the strip joint)
This blouse in skimpy form,
Was meant to keep us warm,
It`s not much cop
And flops a lot,
As many a stripper knows,

So off, so off that white blouse goes.

Audience (one of whom gets more and more excited)
Yes, yes, yes,
So off that white blouse goes!
(Giving her blouse to an attendant)
Anita:
This tight-fitting brassiere
Just hides my lovely pair,
It`s so elastic,
And feels like plastic,
This tight-fitting brassiere
just hides my lovely pair,
A stripper can`t keep it square
When she struts in a brassiere
So off, so off goes that brassiere

Audience
Yes, yes, yes,
So off goes that brassiere
(Removing brassiere)
Anita:
These panties truth to tell,
May look uncommon well,
But when I flirt
and lift my skirt,
They`re like a frilly shell,
They`re like a frilly shell!
Audience
Yes, yes, yes,
They`re like a frilly shell.
(Removing her panties) Anita:
These tights I treat the same
When I go on the game
They hide my thighs from men`s keen eyes
Their aid I thus disclaim,
Their aid I thus disclaim,

Audience (in which one member loses control absolutely)
Yes, yes, yes,
Their aid we thus disclaim!
