Fancy Dress

TOTTENDALE
My dress! My dress!
My Fancy
I don't know why I'm wearing it
I must confess
My dress! My dress!
I love my dress
Would someone tell me why I put it on?

UNDERLING
Yes! Yes! Your dress
Your fancy dress
'Twas such a pleasure airing it
Re-stitching and repairing it
God bless your dress!
It's one fine dess!
And I will tell you why you put it on
Wedding bells will ring
Wedding bells will chime
Madam you're the hostess
And it's happy wedding time

UNDERLING & TOTTENDALE
Wedding bells will ding
Wedding bells will dong
Wedding bells will ding-a-ling
And we will ding along
