歌詞

Look, ma'am
An invitation
Here, ma'am
Delivered by hand
And, ma'am
I noticed the stationary's engraved
And very grand
Petra, how too exciting!
Just when I need it
Petra, such elegant writing
So chic you hardly can read it
What do you think?
Who can it be?
Even the ink-
No, here, let me
"Your presence-"
Just think of it, Petra
"Is kindly-"
It's at a chateau
"Requested-"
Et cetera, et cetera
"Madame Leonara Armf-"
Oh, no!
A weekend in the country
We're invited?
What a horrible plot
A weekend in the country
I'm excited!
No, you're not!
A weekend in the country
Just imagine
It's completely depraved
A weekend in the country
It's insulting
It's engraved!
It's that woman
It's that Armfeldt
Oh, the actress?
No, the ghoul
She may hope to make her charm felt
But she's mad if she thinks I would be such a fool
As to weekend in the country
How insulting
And I've nothing to wear
A weekend in the country
Here!
The last place I'm going is there
Well, dear, are you happy here?
Yes
I think so
But I miss us
So do I
Darling, how would you feel if we had a home of our very own?
With me only acting when I felt like it
And a man who would make a spectacular father
Oh, I see
The lawyer, Mister Egerman
Dear child, you're uncanny!
Guess what
An invitation
Guess who
Begins with an A
Armfeldt
Is that a relation to the decrepit Desiree?
Guess when we're asked to go, sir
See, sir, the date there
Guess where
A fancy chateau, sir
Guess, too, who's lying in wait there
Setting her traps
Fixing her face
Darling, perhaps a change of pace (oh, no!)
A weekend in the country would be charming
And the air would be fresh
A weekend with that woman
In the country
In the flesh
I've some business with her mother
See? It's business
Oh, no doubt
But the business with her mother
Would be hardly the business I'd worry about
Just a weekend in the country
Smelling jasmine
Watching little things grow
A weekend in the country
Go!
My darling, we'll simply say no
Oh
Oh, mother
I know it's none of my business
But that dragoon you wrote me about
With the mustache
Oh, him
What I ever saw in him astounds me
He's a tin soldier
Arms, legs, brain
Tin, tin, tin, tin! (Tin, tin!)
A weekend
How very amusing
A weekend
But also inept
A weekend
Of course we're refusing!
Au contraire, you must accept (oh, no!)
A weekend in the country
But it's frightful
No, you don't understand
A weekend in the country is delightful
If it's planned
Wear your hair down and a flower
Don't use makeup
Dress in white
She'll grow older by the hour
And be hopelessly shattered by Saturday night
Spend a weekend in the country
We'll accept it
I'd a feeling you would
A weekend in the country
Yes
It's only polite that we should
Good
Count Malcolm's insanely jealous, isn't he?
You don't suppose he'll come galloping up
On a black stallion brandishing a sword
Oh, dear
Hadn't thought about that
But no, no, no, no
Thank heavens
It's his wife's birthday this weekend
Sacred domesticity
At least we're safe from him
Well?
I've an intriguing little social item
What?
Out at the Armfeldt family manse
Well, what?
Merely a weekend
Still, I thought it might amuse you to know
Who's invited to go
This time with his pants
You don't mean-?
I'll give you three guesses
She wouldn't
Reduce it to two
It can't be!
It never the less is
Egerman!
Right
Score one for you
A-ha!
A-ha!
A-ha
A-ha?
A weekend in the country
We should try it
How I wish we'd been asked
A weekend int the country
Peace and quiet
We'll go masked
A weekend in the country
Uninvited
They'll consider it odd
A weekend in the country
I'm delighted
Oh, my god
And the shooting should be pleasant
If the weather's not too rough
Happy birthday, it's your present (but!)
You haven't been getting out nearly enough
And a weekend in the country
It's perverted
Pack my quiver and bow
A weekend in the country
At exactly 2:30 we go
We can't
We shall!
We shan't
I'm getting the car
And we're motoring down
Yes, I'm certain you are
But I'm staying in town
We'll go! (Go and pack my suits)
Oh, good!
We will? (I won't)
We should (my boots)
Pack everything white (pack everything)
Ma'am it's wonderful news (I own that shoots)
Are you sure it's alright? (Charlotte)
We'd be rude to refuse (I'm thinking it out)
Then we're off (Charlotte!)
We are? (There's no-)
We'll take the car (need to shout)
We'll bring champagne (Charlotte!)
And caviar (Alright, then)
We're off on our way
What a beautiful day
For a weekend in the country
How amusing
How delightfully droll
A weekend in the country
As we're losing our control
A weekend in the country
How enchanting
On the manicured lawns
A weekend in the country
With the panting and the yawns
With the crickets and the pheasants
And the orchards and the hay
With the servants and the peasants
We'll be laying our plans while we're playing croquet
For a weekend in the country
So inactive that one has to lie down
A weekend in the country, where-
A weekend in the country
The bees in their hives
The shallow worldly figures
The frivolous lives
The devil's companions
Know not whom they serve
It might be instructive to observe
However, there is one tiny snag
A snag?
Hmm
Lawyer Egerman's married
That could be considered a snag
Don't worry my darling
I was not raised by your grandmother for nothing
We are? (A weekend in the)
We'll take the car
We'll bring champagne (country)
And caviar (the bees)
We're off on our way (in their)
What a beautiful day (hives)
A weekend of playing croquet (the shallow worldly figures)
A weekend of strolling the lawns (the frivolous)
Confiding our motives we'll hide in our lawns (lives)
With riotous laughter we quietly suffer
The season in town
Which is reason enough
For a weekend in the country
How amusing
How delightfully droll
A weekend in the country
As we're losing our control
A weekend in the country
So inactive that one has to lie down
A weekend in the country, where-
We're twice as upset as in-
Twice as upset as in-
Twice as upset as in-
Twice as upset as in-
Twice as upset as in- (Charlotte!)
Twice as upset as in- (a weekend!)
Twice as upset as in- (we're going!)
Twice as upset as in- (a weekend!)
Twice as upset as in- (a weekend!)
Twice as upset as in- (a weekend!)
Twice as upset as in- (a weekend!)
Twice as upset as in- (a weekend!)
Town!
