Perfectly Nice

It'll be perfectly nice
 Having somebody with whom to converse
 The servants are fine
 But a little perverse
 And if I'm a tiny bit terse
 It's only because I just fired the chef
 Are you talking to me?
 I'm a little bit deaf
 The weather's been rainy and gray
 Robert, stop fussing, you're just in the way
 He's really a dear
 Though a tiny bit queer
 There was a time when winter was here
 Milk?
 No
 No one came by
 No one came near
 Sugar?
 No
 I was alone, nearly a year
 More?
 And not a creature would come to the house
 The vicar came once but he didn't stay long
 Or did he come twice?
 Maybe I'm wrong
 Then, as the days went along
 Like it or not, I was not as depressed
 And soon after that
 We were finally blessed
 With little Adele, darling, come here
 This is Miss Eyre
 Your governess, dear
 Bonjour, Miss Eyre
 Bonjour, Adele
 Oh, vous parlez francais
 She is French, then?
 Yes, I am French, but I speak English - frighteningly well!
 You certainly do
 Run along now, Adele
 Adieu mam'selle
 Au revoir, Adele
 What a spirited girl
 What a story to tell!
 Her mother is gone
 Gone to the Lord
 And Mr. Rochester took her in as his ward
 Mr. Rochester? Who is he?
 The owner of Thornfield!
 Did you not know he was called Rochester?
 I thought Thornfield belonged to you!
 Bless you, child, what an idea!
 I am in charge of the hall
 When he's away I look after it all
 And he's away most of the time
 What sort of man is he like?
 The kind of a man who is never about
 Where does he go?
 I wouldn't know
 One of a kind
 Smart as a sage
 And like a good wine
 Gets better with age
 Modest and fair
 Yet one wouldn't dare
 Behave in a manner unfitting one's class
 One has a place
 That one mustn't surpass
 This is our lot
 Like it or not
 I think I've forgotten my thought
 What was it? Ah! No, that's not it at all
 Did I have a point?
 I can barely recall
 But you'll settle in (Oh yes, I should like to)
 Read a few books (I brought a few things)
 You've got the brains, if not quite the looks (Mrs. Fairfax!)
 You'll soon adjust
 Everyone must (Yes, but if I could ask a few questions)
 Heed my advice
 Let's be precise (Yes)
 Listen to me, I will not tell you twice
 You will be in good grace if you face
 A girl in your place will suffice
 If she's perfectly nice!
