Fancy Dress Lyrics - The Drowsy Chaperone (2006 Original Broadway Cast) - Lisa Lambert

TOTTENDALE 

My dress! My dress! 

My Fancy 

I don't know why I'm wearing it 

I must confess 

My dress! My dress! 

I love my dress 

Would someone tell me why I put it on? 

UNDERLING 

Yes! Yes! Your dress 

Your fancy dress 

'Twas such a pleasure airing it 

Re-stitching and repairing it 

God bless your dress! 

It's one fine dess! 

And I will tell you why you put it on 

Wedding bells will ring 

Wedding bells will chime 

Madam you're the hostess 

And it's happy wedding time 

UNDERLING & TOTTENDALE 

Wedding bells will ding 

Wedding bells will dong 

Wedding bells will ding-a-ling 

And we will ding along 

STAFF 

Your dress! Your dress! 

Your fancy dress 

We're very very glad you put it on 

UNDERLING 

Wedding guest have come 

ALL 

Wedding guests are here 

Wedding guests are at the door 

And soon they will appear 

ROBERT 

I'm Robert, the bridegroom 

I'm here to marry Janet 

That star of Feldzieg's Follies 

Whom I love a lot 

GEORGE 

I'm George! That's George! 

His Best Man George 

I'm honored to be doing 

What a Best Man ought 

(spoken) 

Ah, Mrs. Tottendale. Now, don't worry. 

This whole wedding's going to run like clock-work. 

TOTTENDALE 

(spoken) 

Oh, is there going to be a wedding? 

FELDZIEG 

I'm Feldzieg, producer 

I lost my leading lady 

I got to stop this wedding 

Or I'm not worth squat 

KITTY 

I'm Kitty! Just Kitty! 

I came with Mr. Feldzieg 

I'll be a leading lady 

If I get my shot 

GANGSTER 1 

We're pastry chefs 

GANGSTER 2 

We're pastry chefs 

GANGSTER 1 & GANGSTER 2 

We cross our hearts we're pastry chefs 

GANGSTER 1 

No fakery 

GANGSTER 2 

A bakery! 

GANGSTER 1 & GANGSTER 2 

Is what we got 

ALDOLPHO 

Aldolpho! Aldolpho! 

My name it is Aldolpho 

I am the King of Romance 

So I kiss a lot 

ALL 

You are the King of Romance 

So you kiss a lot 

Wedding bells will ring! 

Wedding bells will chime! 

Wedding bells will celebrate 

A happy wedding time 

Someone hasn't come 

Someone isn't here 

Where is Janet Van De Graaff 

And when will she appear? 

It's Janet! It's Janet 

It's Janet Van De Graaff 

JANET 

I'm Janet, Janet Van De Graaff 

Here to marry Robert Martin 

Giving up a life of glamour 

To tie the knot 

DROWSY 

(spoken) 

Am I late? 

(sung) 

I'm the Chaperone 

Chaperone of Janet Van De Graaff 

Maid of Honor, friend and confidante 

And all that rot 

(spoken) 

Where's the bar? 

ALL 

A wedding! A wedding! 

Hooray! 

UNDERLING

Almost happening 

What is happening? 

TRIX

In my modern apparatus
