"The Scarlet Pimpernel" musical soundtrack

Performed by: Broadway Cast


Peacocks!
Sink Me!
Think ye, sir
How those feathered boys
Love to flaunt their tails
Stallions!
Zounds, sir!
Hounds, sir! Stags!
Of the goosie and the gander, sir
Which gender is the grander, sir?
To render total cander, sir:
The splendor is the males!

Be an example to your sex
Give your boot a dapper strap.
And it's smarter if your garter has some snap.
Cravats should be flounced about our necks.
Let the royal coattails flap!
Be Bewitching with some stitching on your cap!
Now drape your cape and puff your cuff!
Embroider those lapels!
Be the king of the beasts in pastels!

La, but someone has to strike a pose
and bear the weight of well-tailored clothes
And that is why the Lord created men!

Strut, sir!
What, sir?
Roosters do.
Give a cock his comb and the hens will pale.
Buck, bulls!
More, sir!
Boars, sir! Rams!
Of the nanny-goat and Billy, sir,
Whose beard is fully woolly, sir?
It's bully for the Billy
For he's willy-nilly male!

Sir! Be a lion-hearted prig!
Fill those pantaloons with light!
I could dangle down a spangle...out of sight.
Be BOLD!
When it's cold, slap on that wig.
Draw your breeches in quite tight.
Even more so and your torso will ignite!
Now smock your frock!
Perfume your plume!
I'll let my waistcoat swing!
And the jungle will bow to it's king!

La, but someone has to strike a pose!
And bear the weight of well-tailored clothes!
and that is why the Lord created men!

Adam was the gentleman in Eden.
though his body was admired,
You will grant the adding of a fig leaf
Was inspired!

If you're out to make a splash, cheri
Do know your haberdashery!
Buttons, Buckles, Ruffles, and Lace
Represent the human race!

la, But someone has to strike a pose!
and bear the weight of well-tailored clothes
Each species needs a sex that's fated
To be highly decorated!
That is why the Lord created Men!
