[00:09.182] PERCY:
[00:10.306] Peacocks!
[00:10.489] PRINCE OF WALES:
[00:10.724] Sink me!
[00:11.455] PERCY:
[00:11.690] Think ye, sir, how those feathered boys love to flaunt their tails!
[00:15.138] Stallions!
[00:15.765] PRINCE:
[00:15.922] Zounds, sir!
[00:16.627] PERCY:
[00:16.836] Hounds, sir! Stags!
[00:17.568] Of the goosie and the gander, sir,
[00:19.004] which gender is the grander, sir?
[00:20.232] To render total candor, sir,
[00:21.564] the splendor is the male's!
[00:22.688] PRINCE, spoken:
[00:23.027] What? A man's duty is to wield the sword!
[00:25.979] Defend the cave, what?
[00:27.520] PERCY, spoken:
[00:27.912] Gad, no, Highness! A man's duty is to uphold the banner of beauty!
[00:32.954] And you, as prince of our land, must lead the way!
[00:36.951] PERCY:
[00:37.421] Be an example to your sex.
[00:40.686] MEN:
[00:41.052] Give your boot a dapper strap,
[00:43.063] MAN:
[00:43.403] and it's smarter if your garter has some snap.
[00:47.034] PERCY:
[00:47.530] Cravats should be flounced about our necks.
[00:50.874] MAN:
[00:51.266] Let the royal coattails flap!
[00:53.460] MAN:
[00:53.826] Be bewitching with some stitching on your cap!
[00:57.378] MEN:
[00:57.822] Now drape you cape and puff your cuff!
[01:00.147] Embroider those lapels!
[01:02.472] PERCY:
[01:02.733] Be the king of the beasts in pastels!
[01:07.644] La, but someone has to strike a pose
[01:10.779] and bear the weight of well-tailored clothes,
[01:13.287] and that is why the Lord created men!
[01:17.258] PRINCE, spoken:
[01:17.806] You're a nincompoop, Blakeney!
[01:19.530] PERCY, spoken:
[01:19.765] Thank you, sir!
[01:20.105] PRINCE, spoken:
[01:20.314] Always said you were! Always said, "Leave the fancy dress to the women!"
[01:24.284] Let me be a Roman, don a tunic! Bare the legs, eh what?
[01:28.804] PERCY, spoken:
[01:28.960] Sink me, the man's lost his senses! Bare legs!
[01:34.159] PERCY:
[01:34.342] Strut, sir!
[01:34.498] PRINCE:
[01:34.655] What, sir?
[01:35.308] PERCY:
[01:35.491] Roosters do.
[01:36.771] Give a cock his comb and the hens will pale.
[01:39.227] Bucks, bulls!
[01:39.932] More, sir!
[01:40.428] MEN and PERCY:
[01:40.611] Boars, sir!
[01:40.977] PERCY:
[01:41.160] Rams!
[01:41.656] Of the nanny-goat and billy, sir,
[01:43.145] whose beard is fully woolly, sir?
[01:44.216] It's bully for the billy
[01:45.444] for he's willy-nilly male!
[01:46.671] PRINCE, spoken:
[01:46.854] Well, the male animal is dashing, of course. Robin redbreast! Moose with antlers!
[01:51.347] PERCY:
[01:51.530] Sir! Be a lion-hearted prig!
[01:54.743] Fill those pantaloons with light!
[01:57.199] PRINCE:
[01:57.382] I could dangle down a spangle ... out of sight.
[02:00.751] PERCY:
[02:00.908] Oh, yes! Be bold!
[02:02.084] MAN:
[02:02.214] When it's cold, slap on that wig.
[02:04.591] MEN:
[02:04.774] Draw your breeches in quite tight -
[02:07.178] PERCY:
[02:07.413] Even more so and your torso will ignite!
[02:11.253] MAN:
[02:11.566] Now smock your frock!
[02:12.820] MAN:
[02:13.029] Perfume your plume!
[02:13.865] PRINCE:
[02:14.022] I'll let my waistcoat swing!
[02:15.302] MEN:
[02:15.511] And the jungle will bow to its king!
[02:21.414] La, but someone has to strike a pose
[02:24.758] and bear the weight of well-tailored clothes!
[02:26.874] PRINCE:
[02:27.135] And that is why the Lord created men!
[02:30.714] PRINCE, spoken:
[02:30.975] Now, it's strange. There's nothing about it in the book of Genesis.
[02:34.188] PERCY, spoken:
[02:34.580] Genesis? Ah, but think, sir!
[02:37.271] PERCY:
[02:37.506] Adam was a gentleman in Eden.
[02:40.275] Though his body was admired,
[02:43.070] you will grant the adding of a fig leaf
[02:45.212] was inspired!
[02:46.257] PRINCE:
[02:46.387] Oh, a fig leaf - just the job!
[02:47.615] PERCY:
[02:47.902] If you're out to make a splash, cheri,
[02:50.645] do know your haberdashery!
[02:53.049] MEN:
[02:53.205] Buttons, buckles, ruffles, and lace
[02:55.791] PERCY:
[02:55.922] represent the human race!
[03:04.307] MEN:
[03:05.117] La, but someone has to strike a pose
[03:12.301] and bear the weight of well-tailored clothes!
[03:15.801] Each species needs a sex that's fated
[03:19.641] to be highly decorated!
[03:23.246] That is why the Lord created men!
