- Overture -- Act 1. Won't it a pretty wedding? ; Pretty Lisa, fair and tasty -- By the mystic regulation -- Were I a king in very truth -- How would I play this part -- My goodness me! What shall I do? ; Ten minutes since I met a chap -- About a century since -- Strange the view some people hold -- Now take a card, and gaily sing -- The good Grand Duke ; A pattern to professors of monarchical autonomy -- As o'er our penny roll we sing -- When you find you're a broken-down critter -- Finale, Come hither all you people. Oh a monarch who boasts intellectual graces ; Ah, pity me, my comrades true ; Oh, listen to me, Dear ; The die is cast ; For this will be a jolly court.
- Act 2. As before you we defile -- Your loyalty our ducal heart-strings touches ; At the outset I may mention -- Yes, Ludwig and his Julia are mated ; Take care of him--he's much too good to live -- Now Julia, come, consider it from -- Your highness, there's a party at the door ; With fury indescribable I burn -- Now away to the wedding we go -- So ends my dream ; Broken ev'ry promise plighted -- If the light of love's lingering ember -- Come, bumper's-aye, ever-so-many -- Why, who is this approaching? -- The Prince of Monte Carlo -- His Highness we know not -- We're rigged out in magnificent array -- Dance -- Take my advice when deep in debt -- Hurrah! Now away to the wedding ; Well you're a pretty kind of fellow -- Finale. Happy couples, lightly treading.
