Hey, we peers need hot peasant lovin' too. In the immortal words of Gilbert and Sullivan:
"Spurn not the nobly born
With love affected,
Nor treat with virtuous scorn
The well-connected.
High rank involves no shame--
We boast an equal claim
With him of humble name
To be respected!
Blue blood! blue blood!
When virtuous love is sought
Thy power is naught,
Though dating from the Flood,
Blue blood! Ah, blue blood!
CHORUS
When virtuous love is sought,
Thy power is naught,
Though dating from the Flood,
Blue blood! Ah, blue blood!
TOLLOLER
Spare us the bitter pain
Of stern denials,
Nor with low-born disdain
Augment our trials.
Hearts just as pure and fair
May beat in Belgrave Square
As in the lowly air
Of Seven Dials!
Blue blood! blue blood!
Of what avail art thou
To serve us now?
Though dating from the Flood,
Blue blood! Ah, blue blood!"
CDF (but replace "Seven Dials" with "Jamaica," and look out...Greenwich types have a limit)
