The Looking Glass Ball
They are soon interrupted by the comic intervention of Ronald Henry Chumley, head of Chumley Mirrors. He urges his staff to speed up preparations for Thursday evening's Looking Glass Ball - the annual company do.
Chumley enters through back screens.
Jeremy and Millie at work in the office.
Chumley:
Come to see you're on the job
Doing everything I ask
Life's a race against hard times
Chumley's - never come last
Administrate for Thursday night
Type your letters, make your phone calls
Gotta aim for the bulls eye
Set your sights on the Looking Glass Ball
Millie and Jeremy:
Right for the Looking Glass Ball
Right for the Looking Glass Ball
Jeremy:
Sorted out the lighting, Sir
Chumley:
Not too glitzy, not too bright
Manufacture atmosphere
With plenty to drink that night.
Millie:
Champagne's on order, Sir
The desert, you must decide
Chumley:
Make it sweet to tempt them
Open up you wallets wide
Millie and Jeremy:
Right for the Looking Glass Ball
Right for the Looking Glass Ball
Chumley:
Gotta focus on the job
So my daddy would always say
On the road to a fortune
No-one can stand in your way
Through the generations
The Chumleys have their pride
I've made this my business
Since the day my daddy died
Millie and Jeremy:
Right for the Looking Glass Ball
Right for the Looking Glass Ball
Millie:
Right for the Looking Glass Ball
Jeremy:
Right for the Looking Glass Ball
Lights down.
Jeremy and Chumley exit unseen.
