A Weekend In The Country
A Little Night Music

Look, ma'm, an invitation

Here, ma'am, delivered by hand

And, ma'am, I notice the station

Ary's engraved and very grand


Petra, how too exciting

Just when I need it

Petra, such elegant writing

So chic you hardly can read it


What do you think? Who can it be?

Even the ink, no, here, let me

Your presence, just think of it, Petra

Is kindly, it's at a chateau

Requested, etcet'ra, etcet'ra

Madame Leonora Armf, oh, no


A weekend in the country

We're invited?

What a horrible plot

A weekend in the country


I'm excited, no, you're not

A weekend in the country, just imagine

It's completely depraved

A weekend in the country


It's insulting, it's engraved

It's that woman, it's that Armfeldt

Oh, the actress?


No, the ghoul

She may hope to make her charm felt

But she's mad if she thinks

I would be such a fool

As to weekend in the country


How insulting

And I've nothing to wear

A weekend in the country

Here, the last place I'm going is there


Guess what? An invitation

Guess who? Begins with an A

Armfeldt, is that a relation

To the decrepit desiree?


Guess when we're asked to go, sir?

See, sir, the date there

Guess where? A fancy chateau, sir


Guess, too, who's lying in wait there

Setting her traps, fixing her face

Darling, perhaps, a change of pace

Oh, no


A weekend in the country

Would be charming

And the air would be fresh

A weekend with that woman?


In the country, in the flesh

I've some business with her mother

See, it's business


Oh, no doubt

But the business with her mother

Would be hardly

The business I'd worry about


Just a weekend in the country

Smelling jasmine

Watching little things grow

A weekend in the country


Go, my darling, we'll simply say no, oh

A weekend, how very amusing

A weekend but also inept

A weekend, of course we're refusing


Au contraire, you must accept

Oh, no, a weekend in the country

But it's frightful


No, you don't understand

A weekend in the country

Is delightful, if it's planned

Wear your hair down and a flower


Don't use makeup, dress in white

She'll grow older by the hour

And be hopelessly shattered by Saturday night

Spend a weekend in the country


We'll accept it, I'd a feeling you would

A weekend in the country

Yes, it's only polite that we should, good


Well? I've an intriguing little social item

Well? Out of the Armfeldt family manse

Well, what?


Merely a weekend

Still, I thought it might am

Use you to know who's invited to go

This time with his pants


You don't mean

I'll give you three guesses

She wouldn't

Reduce it to two


It can't be

It nevertheless is

Egerman


Right, score one for you

A-ha, a-ha, a-ha, a-ha?

A weekend in the country

We should try it


How I wish we'd been asked

A weekend in the country

Peace and quiet


We'll go masked

A weekend in the country

Uninvited? They'll consider it odd


A weekend in the country

I'm delighted, oh, my god


And the shooting should be pleasant

If the weather's not too rough

Happy birthday, it's your present


But you haven't been getting out nearly enough

And a weekend in the country


It's perverted

Pack my quiver and bow

A weekend in the country

At exactly 2:30, we go


We can't, we shall

We shan't

I'm getting the car

And we're motoring down


Yes, I'm certain you are

And I'm staying in town

Go and pack my suits, we'll go

I won't, oh, good


My boots, we will?

Pack everything I own that shoots

We should

No, pack everything white


Charlotte, ma'am, it's wonderful news

I'm thinking it out are you sure it's alright?

Charlotte, we'd be rude to refuse

There's no need to shout, then we're off


We are? Charlotte

We'll take the car

All right, then

We'll bring champagne and caviar


We're off on our way

What a beautiful day

For a weekend in the country

How amusing, how delightfully droll


A weekend in the country

While we're losing our control

A weekend in the country

How enchanting

On the manicured lawns


A weekend in the country

With the panting and the yawns

With the crickets and the pheasants

And the orchards and the hay


With the servants and the peasants

We'll be laying our plans

While we're playing croquet

For a weekend in the country


So inactive

That one has to lie down

A weekend in the country

Where


A weekend in the country, the bees in their hives

The shallow worldly figures, the frivolous lives

The devil's companions know not whom they serve

It might be instructive to observe


Charlotte, we're off, a weekend in the country

The bees in their hives

I'm thinking we are? It out


We'll take the car

There's no need we'll bring champagne

We're off, we are?

To shout and caviar, we'll take the car

We'll bring and caviar


We're off on our way, what a beautiful day

We're laying our plans we're off on the bees in

While we're playing croquet, our way, their hives


Controlling ourselves what a

While strolling the lawns, beautiful

Confiding our motives day

While hiding our yawns


The weather is spectacular

We're off on our way

What a beautiful day


With riotous laughter we quietly suffer

The season in town, which is reason enough

For a weekend in the country

How amusing, how delightfully droll


A weekend in the country

While we're losing our control

A weekend in the country

How enchanting

On the manicured lawns


A weekend in the country

With the panting and the yawns

With the crickets and the pheasants

And the orchards and the hay


With the servants and the peasants

We'll be laying our plans

While we're playing croquet

For a weekend in the country


So inactive

That one has to lie down

A weekend in the country

Where we're twice as upset as in


Twice as upset as in

Twice as upset as in

Twice as upset as in


We're a weekend

Are you sure twice as upset

We're going, uninvited a weekend

You want to go? As in


We're a weekend

Are you sure twice as upset

We're going, uninvited a weekend

You want to go? As in


We're a weekend

Are you sure twice as upset

We're going, uninvited a weekend

You want to go? As in


We're a weekend

Are you sure twice as upset

We're going, uninvited a weekend

You want to go? As in


We're a weekend

Are you sure twice as upset

Stay in, in as in town
