the garden party

A friendly match with lady anne di lesso
Yes oh yes oh yes oh yes oh
Finds esterhazy in his summer best, oh
Yes oh yes oh yes 

He's skilled with a bird his serve is effortless, oh
Yes oh yes oh yes oh yes oh
What've you got under your summer dress? "oh
Guess, oh guess, oh guess!" 

Says the russian general to the baroness, oh
Yes oh yes "I tire of chess," oh
"is there another game, general, you might suggest?", "oh
Oh yes oh yes oh yes" 

A most unique charade partners lady tess, oh
Yes oh yes oh yes oh yes oh
With a well-set-up young man from inverness, oh
Oh yes oh yes oh yes 

Sir egbert bellows that he's had success, oh
Yes oh yes oh yes oh yes oh
The guests all gather in the study to witness 
Yes oh yes oh yes 

There every visitor is most impressed, oh
Yes oh yes oh yes oh yes oh
By a queer contraption, perched upon the desk, oh
Yes oh yes oh yes oh yes

But in the sudden darkness that surrounds the guests, oh
Yes oh yes oh yes oh yes oh
A latch is fastened and a lever depressed, oh
Yes oh yes oh yes

It's horrifying to describe what's next, oh
Yes oh yes oh yes oh yes oh
The butler scrubbed for months to clean up the mess, oh
Yes oh yes oh yes
