[00:00.353]Sybil Fortescue
[00:03.436]Always has what’s new
[00:05.943]Far ahead of her friends
[00:11.742]She oft gets her hands
[00:14.485]On goods from foreign lands
[00:17.307]That Captain Fortescue sends
[00:23.080]Sybil's a fine host
[00:25.744]Of this she will oft boast
[00:28.539]She loves to entertain
[00:34.260]Though hard she does try
[00:37.029]Her dinners go awry
[00:39.955]Ending in tears and shame
[00:45.989]Sybil is not blessed
[00:48.653]For when she tries her best
[00:51.631]'Tis then she does her worst
[00:57.483]From being over-dressed
[01:00.017]To poisoning her guests
[01:03.073]Ambitions are her curse
[01:09.342]An explorer's wife
[01:12.085]Cannot share his life
[01:14.854]She is left all alone
[01:21.333]Whilst he is at sea
[01:24.284]In a way, so's she
[01:27.158]Going overboard at home
[01:33.532]From a rich lady
[01:36.458]What is charity
[01:39.409]But a necessary ruse?
[01:45.313]'Tis the job of wives
[01:47.925]To draw away our eyes
[01:50.982]From how riches are accrued
[01:57.747]All this energy
[02:00.464]For dinners and parties
[02:03.494]That never go to plan
[02:09.320]Say, can you conceive
[02:12.115]Of what could be achieved
[02:15.067]If Sybil Fortescue were a man?
