Pride Goeth Before a Fall
Verse 1:
Mr. Darcy has chosen his defect well
Implacable Resentment
It cannot be laughed at
He walks here
And he walks there
Thinking himself so grand
Refrain:
But pride goeth before a fall
You may have more pounds per year than anyone I know
But putting yourself up above it all;
Means that you'll be thought disagreeable wherever you go.
Verse 2:
Mr. Darcy does not choose to dance
He stands around in a stupid manner
Mr. Darcy will not take that chance
He is high in his castle with his ancestral banner.
Verse 3:
Mr. Darcy contrives to write his lines so even
He mends his pens himself
And the lady who'd serve him goes on believing
She marvels at her brother's letters, as well
