he is a good marquis - seiriol davies lyrics

[henry]
so now we are a marquis
but what are a marquis for?
i mean we’ve got all these rural subjects now
who are predominantly poor
what can we give them?

[keith, spoken]
money?

[band, spoken]
cash?

[keith, spoken]
money.

[henry]
what can we give them?
the most precious thing we have:
art!

we will put on a play, but what is the perfect play for them to see?
my name is henery

[keith and band]
henery
[henry, keith and band]
the fifth

[henry]
marquis of anglesey

(spoken)
is there a play called henery thе marquis?

[keith, spoken]
no.

[henry, spoken]
oh. is there a play called hеnery the, like, fifth?

[keith and band, spoken]
yes!

[henry, spoken]
oh it’s fine we’ll put that one on then!
we’ll need an orchestra!

[band, spoken]
i’m available!

[henry, spoken]
actors!
[keith, spoken]
enter: me!

[henry, spoken]
financial backing.

[keith and band, spoken]
you’re very rich!

[keith, spoken]
and we’ll need a theatre.

[henry, spoken]
awww, we don’t have one of those!

[keith, spoken]
oh

[band, spoken]
oh but chaps, we could pray for a theatre * in the old paget family chapel.

[henry]
gut the family chapel!

[keith and band]
gut it!
[henry and keith]
and build in its place a theatre
in egg*sh*ll blue i think
yes, egg*sh*ll blue!
light a trail of flaming torches
right to the door of the theatre
so all the angleseysyans (flame, flame)
will know which way to flock to (flame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, flame)

when they come to see the
play, the play, the play, it’s on (play, the play, the play, the play, the )
today, by which i mean tonight, what will they (play, the play, the play, it’s on)
say? what will they say when they have (today, by which i mean tonight. what will they)
seen me in the play? (say when they see me in the play?)
in my lovely sapphire costume
and my sword that’s basically just one long
swarovski crystal!

[keith and band]
bling!
bling!
bling!
ding!

theatre construction is complete!

[henry]
the play’s the thing you’ll see to make my
subjects sing:

[band]
‘the play, the play, the play’
they’ll say

[henry and keith]
‘he is a good marquis!’ (so good)
‘he’s such a good marquis!’ (he pays well)
‘only he could give us this’ (plus it’s good exposure)
‘he’s such a good marquis!’
now open up the doors and
let them
in!
cue box office! go front of house and sell those programmes
let them in!
