| Ten years back
|
| Life was grim
|
| Men were dull
|
| Girls were prim
|
| Fogs were thick
|
| Food was bland
|
| Sex was all
|
| In the hand
|
| Our idea
|
| Of obscene:
|
| Early night
|
| Ovaltine
|
| That’s all gone
|
| As you see
|
| We’re all rich
|
| Love is free
|
| You’ve never had it so good
|
| You’ve never had it so often
|
| Go and do what you never could
|
| A brand new brother and sisterhood
|
| You’ve never had it so good
|
| By the way, did you see Joseph Kennedy had a massive stroke?
|
| No!
|
| He’s a great friend of my mother’s. |
| Used to come 'round all the time during the
|
| war, they had quite a lot in common
|
| Oh, yes? |
| What?
|
| Both frightfully keen on Hitler
|
| (Laughter)
|
| Mariella had a dallience with the President, didn’t you, dear?
|
| Yes, at the Hampshire House on Central Park. |
| Good-looking fellow
|
| Really? |
| What was he like?
|
| Bit preoccupied. |
| Still, he gave me a hundred dollars. |
| Worked out about
|
| seventy-five dollars a minute
|
| Do you like
|
| S&M?
|
| I don’t mind
|
| One of them
|
| Here, you can
|
| Have it off
|
| With some old
|
| English toff
|
| Who is that
|
| In the mask?
|
| They won’t say
|
| So don’t ask
|
| Could be some
|
| Royal duke
|
| Possibly
|
| King Farouk
|
| You’ve never had it so good
|
| You’ve never had it so often
|
| Chelsea’s buzzing like Hollywood
|
| In Mayfair it’s well understood
|
| You’ve never had it so good
|
| (THE MAN IN THE MASK pauses in front of MARIELLA.)
|
| I hope everything is to your satisfaction, mistress!
|
| Why are you interrupting? |
| Did I ask you to stick your oar in?
|
| No, mistress! |
| Sorry, mistress!
|
| And where’s the white sugar?
|
| I thought people preferred brown with their coffee!
|
| You thought? |
| You thought?! |
| Who asked you to think?!
|
| Nobody, mistress!
|
| Go in the kitchen! |
| Bill will be in to chastise you in a minute, won’t you, Bill?
|
| Whatever you say, Mariella
|
| Oh, thank you, mistress!
|
| You won’t thank me when Bill’s finished with you
|
| (THE MAN IN THE MASK scurries off; and MARIELLA taps her cup with a spoon for
|
| silence.)
|
| I’m blowing the whistle for the kickoff! |
| Here we go! |
| It’s everybody’s lucky day!
|
| (Whistle)
|
| (A kind of courtly dance begins, as the orgy gets under way.)
|
| (with some lines sung by parts of the group)
|
| Pair off!
|
| It’s time to pair off!
|
| The whistle goes, and they’re off!
|
| Now’s the time for you to show your mettle!
|
| Last one with their clothes off boils the kettle
|
| Spanking!
|
| I’m all for spanking!
|
| Which stranger am I thanking?
|
| You’ll feel so good
|
| Once you’ve got all your clothes off
|
| You’ll find you are ready for anything!
|
| I’m saying, one thing’s for sure
|
| You are not going to doze off
|
| It’s down on your knees
|
| But no praying!
|
| Stroke me!
|
| Somebody stroke me!
|
| Punish me, prod and poke me!
|
| Smother me in strawberries and lick me!
|
| Bring out your embroidery and prick me!
|
| Use me!
|
| Come on and use me!
|
| Don’t hang about — abuse me!
|
| Just wave goodbye
|
| To those dull inhibitions
|
| You just have to be ready for anything!
|
| Get started!
|
| It’s time to try
|
| Those ambitious positions
|
| The ones that scare off the faint-hearted
|
| You’ve never had it so good
|
| You’ve never had it so often
|
| Go and do what you never could
|
| A brand new brother and sisterhood
|
| You’ve never had it so
|
| Good!
|
| You’ve never had it so good!
|
| (Total abandon.) |
