Look, ma'm, an invitation
Here, ma'am, delivered by hand
And, ma'am, I notice the station
Ary's engraved and very grand
Petra, how too exciting
Just when I need it
Petra, such elegant writing
So chic you hardly can read it
What do you think? Who can it be?
Even the ink, no, here, let me
Your presence, just think of it, Petra
Is kindly, it's at a chateau
Requested, etcet'ra, etcet'ra
Madame Leonora Armf, oh, no
A weekend in the country
We're invited?
What a horrible plot
A weekend in the country
I'm excited, no, you're not
A weekend in the country, just imagine
It's completely depraved
A weekend in the country
It's insulting, it's engraved
It's that woman, it's that Armfeldt
Oh, the actress?
No, the ghoul
She may hope to make her charm felt
But she's mad if she thinks
I would be such a fool
As to weekend in the country
How insulting
And I've nothing to wear
A weekend in the country
Here, the last place I'm going is there
Guess what? An invitation
Guess who? Begins with an A
Armfeldt, is that a relation
To the decrepit desiree?
Guess when we're asked to go, sir?
See, sir, the date there
Guess where? A fancy chateau, sir
Guess, too, who's lying in wait there
Setting her traps, fixing her face
Darling, perhaps, a change of pace
Oh, no
A weekend in the country
Would be charming
And the air would be fresh
A weekend with that woman?
In the country, in the flesh
I've some business with her mother
See, it's business
Oh, no doubt
But the business with her mother
Would be hardly
The business I'd worry about
Just a weekend in the country
Smelling jasmine
Watching little things grow
A weekend in the country
Go, my darling, we'll simply say no, oh
A weekend, how very amusing
A weekend but also inept
A weekend, of course we're refusing
Au contraire, you must accept
Oh, no, a weekend in the country
But it's frightful
No, you don't understand
A weekend in the country
Is delightful, if it's planned
Wear your hair down and a flower
Don't use makeup, dress in white
She'll grow older by the hour
And be hopelessly shattered by Saturday night
Spend a weekend in the country
We'll accept it, I'd a feeling you would
A weekend in the country
Yes, it's only polite that we should, good
Well? I've an intriguing little social item
Well? Out of the Armfeldt family manse
Well, what?
Merely a weekend
Still, I thought it might am
Use you to know who's invited to go
This time with his pants
You don't mean
I'll give you three guesses
She wouldn't
Reduce it to two
It can't be
It nevertheless is
Egerman
Right, score one for you
A-ha, a-ha, a-ha, a-ha?
A weekend in the country
We should try it
How I wish we'd been asked
A weekend in the country
Peace and quiet
We'll go masked
A weekend in the country
Uninvited? They'll consider it odd
A weekend in the country
I'm delighted, oh, my god
And the shooting should be pleasant
If the weather's not too rough
Happy birthday, it's your present
But you haven't been getting out nearly enough
And a weekend in the country
It's perverted
Pack my quiver and bow
A weekend in the country
At exactly 2:30, we go
We can't, we shall
We shan't
I'm getting the car
And we're motoring down
Yes, I'm certain you are
And I'm staying in town
Go and pack my suits, we'll go
I won't, oh, good
My boots, we will?
Pack everything I own that shoots
We should
No, pack everything white
Charlotte, ma'am, it's wonderful news
I'm thinking it out are you sure it's alright?
Charlotte, we'd be rude to refuse
There's no need to shout, then we're off
We are? Charlotte
We'll take the car
All right, then
We'll bring champagne and caviar
We're off on our way
What a beautiful day
For a weekend in the country
How amusing, how delightfully droll
A weekend in the country
While we're losing our control
A weekend in the country
How enchanting
On the manicured lawns
A weekend in the country
With the panting and the yawns
With the crickets and the pheasants
And the orchards and the hay
With the servants and the peasants
We'll be laying our plans
While we're playing croquet
For a weekend in the country
So inactive
That one has to lie down
A weekend in the country
A weekend in the country, the bees in their hives
The shallow worldly figures, the frivolous lives
The devil's companions know not whom they serve
It might be instructive to observe
Charlotte, we're off, a weekend in the country
The bees in their hives
I'm thinking we are? It out
We'll take the car
There's no need we'll bring champagne
We're off, we are?
To shout and caviar, we'll take the car
We'll bring and caviar
We're off on our way, what a beautiful day
We're laying our plans we're off on the bees in
While we're playing croquet, our way, their hives
Controlling ourselves what a
While strolling the lawns, beautiful
Confiding our motives day
While hiding our yawns
The weather is spectacular
We're off on our way
What a beautiful day
With riotous laughter we quietly suffer
The season in town, which is reason enough
For a weekend in the country
How amusing, how delightfully droll
A weekend in the country
While we're losing our control
A weekend in the country
How enchanting
On the manicured lawns
A weekend in the country
With the panting and the yawns
With the crickets and the pheasants
And the orchards and the hay
With the servants and the peasants
We'll be laying our plans
While we're playing croquet
For a weekend in the country
So inactive
That one has to lie down
A weekend in the country
Where we're twice as upset as in
Twice as upset as in
Twice as upset as in
Twice as upset as in
We're a weekend
Are you sure twice as upset
We're going, uninvited a weekend
You want to go? As in
We're a weekend
Are you sure twice as upset
We're going, uninvited a weekend
You want to go? As in
We're a weekend
Are you sure twice as upset
We're going, uninvited a weekend
You want to go? As in
We're a weekend
Are you sure twice as upset
We're going, uninvited a weekend
You want to go? As in
We're a weekend
Are you sure twice as upset
Stay in, in as in town
