Knew It Was Coming All Along
reprise of "Right For The Looking Glass Ball"
The Boss makes his annual speech promising the company world-expansion and mocking his wife's excitement at the prospect of shopping all around the globe.
(Chumley takes his speech from his transparent briefcase and addresses his guests. He takes his place centre stage on the movable blocks where Jeremy has placed the microphone stand. Beginning with his back to the audience, he gradually turns round and addresses the whole audience).
Chumley:
Ladies and gentlemen
I know you're having the time of your life
But may I take this precious moment
To introduce to you my wife
Millie:
She's left, Sir.
Chumley:
Left?
Millie:
Said she had a migraine.
Chumley:
Urgh! (he's got a headache too - his wife)
Chumley Mirror - once like Phyllis
Dashing to its slumber in bed
Sleeping off our company migraines
Knocking common sense on the head
Now it's all change for Chumleys
New purpose, new vision, new thought
All around the world with Chumleys
New Jersey, New England, New York
Millie, Jeremy and Chumley:
New income rise
New profit highs
New business buys
Newly worldly wise
Knew it was coming all along
Knew it was coming all along
Chumley:
I'm in the mood for a broader view
Holding our own world-wide
Chumleys nations of the planet are looking to you
You can stare them right back in the eye
Yes it's all change for Chumleys
New money, new shopping, new stores
All around the world with Chumley
New Guinea, New Delhi, New York
Millie, Jeremy and Chumley:
New business boom
New profits zoom
New incomes soars
Through open doors
:
Knew it was coming all along
Knew it was coming all along
Chumley:
Phyllis, she's a little like Chumley's
My angel, my darling, my girl
Waiting till our market goes global
She'll be shopping all around the world
Are you ready for the Queen of comfort
Room service and a bathroom en suite
Lying by the patio pool side
Such style, my money, what cheek
Jeremy:
Let's raise a toast
With our honoured guests
To the man at the top
Of the tree of success
Millie, Jeremy and Chumley:
Knew it was coming all along
Knew it was coming all
Knew it was coming all along
Knew it was coming all along
