Did you bring the rose macarons I told you to make for the King Well don't forget to give them to him They may be your only chance at winning back his affections After the ball I was worried you'd fallen out of the King's good graces But by some miracle he still invited us to this garden party My heart races fast as I try to find Jest I can't see him in the crowd of all the king's guests I really must hustle Not get caught up in the bustle 'Cause I really don't wanna see the king yet There you are Lady Catherine! I'm glad to see you here There's much gossip from the ball That you really must hear Did you know, did you know That it's so, very so The Jabberwock is in our midst (Ooh!) Oh! We're scared, very scared There's no way to prepare And my back is giving me fits! But we play Croquet in the garden Croquet in the garden We hear the whisperings of aristocratic life We're spreading all the rumors about the king's new wife All our problems are dismissed And it's during times like this That we play croquet in the garden Why, Lady Mearle, that is a lovely hat you are wearing! Did you, by chance, purchase it at that new hat shoppe at the crossroads? I've been meaning to go there myself! I! I did get it there, that is to say that, naturally Pride, and the sin of arrogance It becomes necessary to, doff the vanity that such attention-grabbing-ness might otherwise prevail upon oneself Amen! Amen? Well, can you believe how horribly the king's black and white ball went? And that awful maid went and disrupted everything! But oh how brave the Duke was when facing off the beast! The Duke was better than us all for how he acted at the ball I think that most of all, the ladies wouldn't disagree Well I, that is to say, any man would have! Lady Mearle was in danger! It was nothing spectacular I assure you! And he's humble, and he's humble And he doesn't dare to mumble Anything that is less than kind I think it's sweet, very sweet And it's not an easy feat That saving you was on his mind As we play Croquet in the garden Croquet in the garden As we gossip all about the king's black and white ball A terrifying day it turned out to be for all The Duke's brave act Lady Margaret's new hat Are why we gossip at Croquet in the garden You must be the wise Lady Mearle I've heard all about! And Lady Pinkerton I presume? Enchanted, Mr. Joker The King has requested a word with you Oh! Lady Catherine! I- I (Glad to see you here) Glad to see you here! I really had hoped to catch your tie-eye! I I was wondering, well If you'd be willing to bake some more of those lemon tarts that you brought to the ball! Well, that's not what I was going to say, though those tarts were delightful Maybe we can serve those at the wedding! Anyways, besides the point, as I was saying A wedding your majesty? I wasn't aware you'd chosen a bride! I look forward to bestowing many congratulations upon our future queen Oh! Well I haven't proposed yet, but with you here Lady Catherine I- I mean Oh how clever you are! I'm sure the lady is grateful that you aren't hurrying No one likes to be rushed into these things, men don't realize that we prefer a courtship first! Oh! You do! Lady Pinkerton is correct, you are a wise man to know it already You see, we women like a long romance, proposals shouldn't come as a surprise Why, thank you for the wonderful advice! Oh of course, yes of course Ask us more, ask us more If you need more help we will suffice As we play Croquet in the garden Croquet in the garden We hear the whisperings of aristocratic life We're spreading all the rumors about the king's new wife All our problems are dismissed And it's during times like this That we play croquet in the garden We'll keep playing croquet in the garden Croquet in the garden
