Lady: Mummy! Mummy? Are you alright?

Mummy: Oh It's alright Mummy's alright

Lady: Oh Mummy

You don't have to cry or worry

I'm sorry

I'll sing a song to make you happy

I'll sing about how

Starting now

I'll fix it somehow

I don't know what it is but still

I'll keep singing this song until

You feel better

I know you will

I promise

I can fix this

Help your boo-boo

Give it a kiss

I can make it better

We will be together

On and on forever

Mummy: You can leave behind the summer dresses, just the necessities

Servant: Yes, mum

Lady: Mummy? Where are you going?

Mummy: I'll be back very soon

And when I do, I'll be taking you and your brother to London

You'll like that, won't you? The city? All your friends?

Everything will be alright

Goodbye, my darling

Lady: Goodbye, Mummy

So Mummy

Never came back home

And now this dodgy lady

She's trying to marry Daddy

Stepmummy: You're leaving in ten minutes, why aren't you dressed?

Lady: I am dressed

Stepmummy: Nonsense, put on the white dress your Father gave you

Lady: But, Mummy got this yellow dress for me

Stepmummy: What?

Lady: She got it for me and asked me to wear it today, specifically

Stepmummy: Did she, now?

Lady: And she will- she will be sad if she sees me, and I'm not-

Stepmummy: Don't be difficult, you'll make your Daddy very cross

Daddy:What's going on?

Lady: Daddy!

Daddy: Why aren't you dressed?

Stepmummy: She says this yellow dress is the one… her Mother picked out for the occasion

Lady: I'm sorry, Daddy, I didn't mean to-

Daddy: Stop! Don't embarrass me in front of my lady- m-my guest I expect you outside in the dress I chose for you in ten minutes

Stepmummy: Well that's settled

Lady: May I see your ring?

Stepmummy: Oh, yes, it was me grandmama's-

How dare you!

Lady: We all hate you, lady!

Stepmummy: I know you do. Now be a good girl and get dressed

Lady:

Dear God I beg you, on my knees

Please fix my broken family

Our legacy of tragedy

I have tremendous hope in me

I will outlast this misery

I feel it instinctively

(Please don't worry Mummy)

One day fin'ly

I'll be happy

Fully wholly

Truly deeply

(Fully wholly truly deeply)

Love now come whatever

(Come what may)

On and on forever

(Forever)

Both my big sisters are home on holiday! I ADORE Sissy

She's dating the Prince!

She's fabulous I wish I was just like her!

Sissy 2: So? How'd you fare this year?

Sissy 1: Top marks all round. You?

Sissy 2: Same and I wasn't expelled

Sissy 1: Shove off, it was just a bit of vodka

Lady: You got expelled for Vodka?

Sissy 2: You're one to pipe in, with your marks! Failing your O levels

Sissy 1: She failed them twice!

Sissy 2: Twice!? Better start cozying up to a Viscount, or some such, then. Marry 'im straight away

Lady: I want to marry an Earl like Daddy

Sissy 2: And then get divorced? Like our precious Daddy?

Lady: No! No-no-I'll never get divorced, not ever! Never never

Sissy 2: Marry a royal, then.

Lady: What? Why?

Sissy 2: They can never get divorced, none of their lot can, marriage being the "will of God" and all that

Lady: Will you marry the Prince, Sissy?

Sissy 1: Hah! We've only been on a few dates, and each involved him shooting at things

Sissy 2: Romantic, that

Sissy 1: I will marry for love, whether he's a dustman, or King of England

Lady: Me too! I'll marry for love, too

Sissy 1: You can have the Prince's little brother

Lady: The Duke?

Sissy 2: You'd like that, wouldn't you? Become a Duchess?

Lady: A Duchess?

Sissy 2: Right, Duch, short for Duchess, then

It's decided

Now bugger off

Lady: I'll be Duchess some day

(Ah)

Finally safe

Destiny waits

Hey

Now my fairytale can start

They won't dare tear us apart

He'll love me and I'll love him

With all of my

(All of my)

Heart

(Fin'ly, fully, wholly, truly

Something great is coming to me

Now and ever

All together

Make it better

Come whatever)

Forever!
