[LILY]
Once, I had a palace
Here, merely a flat
I fled with some diamonds
And that was that

[ARISTOCRATS]
It's very tragic
Ooh

[LILY]
Once, ladies-in waiting
All bending a knee
Now, only one lady-in-waiting, me

[ARISTOCRAT MEN]
No fanfares

[ARISTOCRAT WOMEN]
Or sedan chairs

[ARISTOCRAT MEN]
And no coaches

[ARISTOCRAT WOMEN]
And we sold our broaches
[COUNT LEOPOLD]
No afternoon card games with the Tsar

[LILY, spoken]
No caviar
(sung)
But I say we're not dead now

[ARISTOCRATS & COUNT LEOPOLD]
We're not dead now
We're in France instead now

[LILY]
Let us not be sad
The night's young
And Russians are mad, so...
Let's live in the land of yesterday
Live in the grand Imperial heyday
Let's live in the land of yesterday Russia

[ARISTOCRATS]
Husha!

[LILY]
Let's put on the fancy clothes
And let's wile our woes away
