Philip Dwight Jones - The Middle-Cla** Gentleman (Act 3 Scene 5) lyrics

SCENE V (Dorante, Madame Jourdain, Nicole) DORANTE: You appear to be very melancholy. What is wrong, Madame Jourdain? MADAME JOURDAIN: I have a head bigger than my fist, even if it's not swollen. DORANTE: Mademoiselle, your daughter, where is she that I don't see her? MADAME JOURDAIN: Mademoiselle my daughter is right where she is. DORANTE: How is she getting on? MADAME JOURDAIN: She "gets on" on her two legs. DORANTE: Wouldn't you like to come with her one of these days to see the ballet and the comedy they are putting on at court? MADAME JOURDAIN: Yes truly, we have a great desire to laugh, a very great desire to laugh. DORANTE: I think, Madame Jourdain, that you must have had many admirers in your youth, beautiful and good humored as you were. MADAME JOURDAIN: By Our Lady! Sir, is Madame Jourdain decrepit, and does her head already shake with palsy? DORANTE: Ah! My faith, Madame Jourdain, I beg pardon. I did not remember that you are young. I am often distracted. Pray excuse my impertinence.
