I was thinking if we wanted to add an extra G&S number to the existing medley – this Sausage Roll song from The Grand Duke would tie in with the food theme. I quite fancy singing the word “bilious” in a song …. 9 mins in on this Youtube link https://youtube/watch?v=yB7lp1V6VvM – The opening number might be of interest to Alison Gale as well (Won’t it be a Pretty Wedding) :-) The words: LUDWIG. By the mystic regulation Of our dark Association, Ere you open conversation With another kindred soul, You must eat a sausage-roll! (Producing one.) ALL. You must eat a sausage-roll! LUD. If, in turn, he eats another, Thats a sign that hes a brother-- Each may fully trust the other. It is quaint and it is droll, But its bilious on the whole. ALL. Very bilious on the whole. LUD. Its a greasy kind of pasty, Which, perhaps, a judgement hasty Might consider rather tasty: Once (to speak without disguise) It found favour in our eyes. ALL. It found favour in our eyes. LUD. But when youve been six months feeding (As we have) on this exceeding Bilious food, its no ill-breeding If at these repulsive pies Our offended gorges rise! ALL. Our offended gorges rise!
