[helen]
all right, my dear, you talked me into it

[menelaus]
helen, helen
you gave me a scare
what on earth are you doing way up there?

[lovey mars]
helen, paris
you had better come back

[menelaus]
they took the china
and the bric-a-brac

[lovey mars]
helen, paris
you are liable to crash

[menelaus]
they also have the jewels
and the household cash

[lovey mars]
paris, helen
you are flirting with fate
[menelaus]
they also took the linen
and the silver platе

[miss minerva & mrs juniper]
disgraceful, unlawful
unwomanly, perfidious
see that brazen hussy
crowing with dеlight

[women]
it’s shocking, it’s awful
it’s ghastly, it’s hideous

[mother hare]
goodbye, helen
don’t forget to write

[miss minerva]
aha! i knew it all along

[mrs juniper]
you knew he’d do it all along
with tales of love you tricked him

[miss minerva]
now our helen is the victim
[lovey mars]
you have no call to scold me so
he flattered and cajoled me so
i only introduced her
it was paris who seduced her

[all]
helen, come back
before it is too late

[menelaus]
bring back all the china
and the silver plate

[all]
helen, come back
there’s trouble piling up
don’t leave hearth and husband
for a worthless city pup

[boys]
well, well
there goes helen
gone as the crow flies
lost in the blue
lucky paris
got our local heiress
away goes helen
adieu, adieu
away goes helen
adieu, adieu
[menelaus]
i can’t believe my eyes
are you carrying on as usual?
paris hoodwinks us guys
do such insults amuse you all?

[boys]
play ball
play ball

[old men]
have heroes grown so tame?
does the pioneer blood run thin in you?
haven’t you any shame?
is there no sense of sin in you?

[ulysses]
paris is a shiftless cuss
and helen is not much better

[old men]
to erase this blot
you boys have got
to storm the town and get her
get her
get helen

[menelaus]
you swore upon your honor
you were hers to command
now trouble is upon her
and you won’t lift a hand

[ulysses]
the oath we made was sporting
it was peace we meant to bring
but aren’t you guys distorting
the principle of the thing?

[old men]
that’s it
that’s it
it’s the principle of the thing
get sore
make war
on wicked rhododendron

[menelaus]
we’re too old to pull a trigger
we have seen too many winters
were we young and full of vigor
we would tear that town to splinters

[ulysses]
pay no mind to all that pouting
pay no mind to their disputing
old men always do the shouting
young men have to do the shooting

[old men]
but the principle
yes, the principle
it’s the principle of the thing
get out your guns
and fix those sons
of rhododendron
vengeance
on rhododendron
vengeance
on rhododendron

[boys]
maybe they are right, ulysses

[old men]
vengeance
vengeance

[boys]
maybe we should go, ulysses

[old men]
vengeance
vengeance

[boys]
maybe they are right, ulysses
maybe we should fight, ulysses
tell us yes or no, ulysses

[old men]
vengeance
vengeance

[menelaus]
if we were your age
we would not permit
this sellout
we’d burn with rage
we’d champ the bit
and we would yell out
vengeance!

[boys]
they’re right, they’re right

[menelaus]
of course we’re right!

[boys]
of course, of course
we can’t stand by
and let that guy
take our good helen off by force
it’s vengeance
vengeance
vengeance

[women]
will you never learn?
when you return
the place for which you fought
may not be the same
no happiness is bought
with murder and flame
only sorrow and shame
only sorrow and shame

[menelaus & boys]
ready, ulysses?
do you intend to go?

[penelope]
no, ulysses
you promised me no

[women]
do not go, ulysses
there is danger just ahead

[mother hare]
do not go, ulysses
stay home and die in bed

[boys, women]
vengeance, vengeance
ulysses, do not go
vengeance, vengeance
ulysses, do not go
vengeance, vengeance
ulysses, do not go
vengeance…

[ulysses]
oh nothing could be truer
than the love i bear for you
but duty to my fellow man
is greater than my private plan
and i must say adieu
and i must say adieu

[penelope]
alas, alas, it’s ever thus
the men talk love and beauty
they kiss and vow and make a fuss
but when they slip away from us
they blame it all on duty
they blame it all on duty

[figurehead]
row, boys, row
row down the river
all ashore, all ashore
that ain’t coming with me

[figurehead & boys]
which-a-way, which-a-way
does that old red river run?
from our back door
down to the rising sun

[figurehead & boys, women]
from our back door
remember what you promised to us
down to the rising sun
do not go
