There Are Those
(Mrs. Duke) There are those whose social standing
Is constantly demanding
Every single thing we do
The public knows
Then there is a social strata
Where propriety doesn't matter
I suppose
There are those
There are those
(Aunt Mary) There are those to whom position
Is a natural born condition
To be worn with ease
Like comfortable old clothes
Though the nouveau riche deny it
All their money cannot buy it
Class will out
Goodness knows
But there are those
(John) Watercress on toast
(Mrs. Duke) There are those who grace the pages of the blue book
(Aunt Mary) Never heard of it
Is it a new book
(Mrs. Duke) Simply anyone who is anyone is listed
(Aunt Mary) Oh, you mean the New York Telephone Directory
(Mrs. Duke) Hardly
(Aunt Mary) There are those whose names predate the Constitution
(Mrs. Duke) Yes, and some of them opposed the Revolution
(Aunt Mary) Conservative
(Mrs. Duke) Reactionary
(John) Cream cheese and cucumber
(Aunt Mary) Philadelphia is the cradle of liberty
(Mrs. Duke) Smoldering like an aging page of history
(John) Chopped liver
(Aunt Mary) There are those who flaunt prosperity
(Mrs. Duke) There are those who flout austerity
Posing cozy on their rosy status quos
(John) Poison dart
I-I mean raisin tart
(Mrs. Duke) There are those quite influential
(Aunt Mary) There are those inconsequential
(Mrs. Duke) There are those
(Aunt Mary) There are those
(Mrs. Duke) There are those
(Aunt Mary) There are those
(Mrs. Duke) There are those
(Both) I suppose
There are those
Is constantly demanding
Every single thing we do
The public knows
Then there is a social strata
Where propriety doesn't matter
I suppose
There are those
There are those
(Aunt Mary) There are those to whom position
Is a natural born condition
To be worn with ease
Like comfortable old clothes
Though the nouveau riche deny it
All their money cannot buy it
Class will out
Goodness knows
But there are those
(John) Watercress on toast
(Mrs. Duke) There are those who grace the pages of the blue book
(Aunt Mary) Never heard of it

There are those
