LAVINIA
Judging from those petticoats
That her maid was shaking out,
The new girl’s nothing special,
I assure you, without doubt
SCHOOLGIRLS
Judging from those petticoats
With miles of lace, all frilly!
JESSIE
The new girl’s nothing special
LAVINIA
She’s just spoiled silly
SCHOOLGIRLS
Judging from her velvet coat
With sable on the cuffs
LAVINIA
The new girl’s nothing special
SCHOOLGIRL SOLO
With a matching hat and muff!
SCHOOLGIRLS
Judging from her velvet coat
And silk and satin frocks
SCHOOLGIRL SOLO
I hear she has a playroom
LAVINIA
With a door she always locks!
She just thinks that she is special
But I say, wait and see
When she arrives, let’s have a look
At all this foolish finery
JESSIE
Yes, she just thinks that she’s special
But let’s just wait and see
SCHOOLGIRLS
When she arrives, let’s have a look
LAVINIA
As she flounders in polite society
MISS MINCHIN enters with SARA and the song trails off to a whisper.
