young people think about love - the collegiate chorale lyrics
[tienhoven, spoken]
i have announcement to make. blow the trumpet! blow the trumpet!
[trumpet fanfare.]
i have been in conversation with my old friend peter stuyvesant, the new governor. and we have arranged that my daughter tina shall marry him and be the governor’s wife!
[ensemble, spoken]
oh!
[tina, spoken]
i want to marry brom.
[tienhoven, spoken]
huh? it’s all fixed up.
[tina, spoken]
but he’s an old man.
[tienhoven, spoken]
he is a great soldier! and he is governor!
[tina, spoken]
but he has a wooden leg.
[tienhoven, spoken]
he has a silver leg. solid silver.
[tina, spoken]
oh! i don’t care if it’s gold!
[tienhoven, spoken]
you will learn to like it. girls get over these little things.
[tina, spoken]
what a horrible idea.
(sung)
whatever are old people thinking of
when arranging a marriage?
they think about silver, they think about gold
and how much your kisses will bring when sold
and how you’ll ride out in your carriage
[council]
and young people think about love, ha ha
[tina & brom]
yes, young people think about love
[tina & women]
god knows what old folks are thinking of
when a troth is plighted
but they seemingly think
of the kitchen sink
and what you will eat and what you will drink
and how many lids on the kitchen stove
and the coppery pans that will glint and wink
when the candles are lighted
with never a thought of the stars above
[council]
and young people think about love, ha ha
[tina, brom & women]
yes, young people think about love
[brom]
whatever are old people thinking of
when arranging a wedding?
they think about where you will sleep, not with whom
and business advantages with the groom
or even the weave of the bedding
[council]
and young people think about love, ha ha
[tina & brom]
yes, young people think about love!
[men]
god knows what the old folks are thinking of
when a troth is plighted
but they seemingly think
of the kitchen sink
and what you will eat and what you will drink
and how many lids on the kitchen stove
and the coppery pans that will glint and wink
when the candles are lighted
with never a thought of the stars above
[council]
but young people think about love, ha ha
[ensemble]
yes, young people think about love
[tina]
remember your daughter will have to lie
in that bed that you’re making
will have to lie down with that horrible peg
strapped onto his torso in place of a leg
in spite of her sad heart’s aching!
[council]
oh, young people think about love, ha ha
[tina & brom]
yes, young people think about love
[ensemble]
god knows what the old folks are thinking of
when a troth is plighted
[tina]
but they seemingly think
of the kitchen sink
and what you will eat and what you will drink
[brom]
and how many lids on the kitchen stove
[brom & ensemble]
and the coppery pans that will glint and wink
when the candles are lighted
with never a thought of the stars above
[council]
but young people think about love, ha ha
[ensemble]
yes, yes!
[council]
ha ha!
[ensemble]
oh, yes!
[council]
ha ha!
[ensemble]
oh, yes!
[council]
ha ha!
[ensemble]
yes, yes!
[council]
ha ha!
[ensemble]
yes, yes!
[council]
ha ha!
[ensemble]
oh, yes!
[council]
ha ha!
[ensemble]
oh, yes!
[council]
ha ha!
[ensemble]
yes, young people think about love!
