There Are Those
{MRS. DUKE}
There are those whose social standing
Is constantly demanding
Every single thing we do the public knows
Then there is a lower strata
Where propriety doesn't matter
I suppose. There are those, there are those


{AUNT MARY}
There are those to whom position
Is a natural condition
To be worn with ease like comfortable old clothes
Though the nouveau riche deny it
All their money cannot buy it
Class will out. Goodness knows but there are those

{JOHN LAWLESS}
(spoken)
Watercress on toast, ma'am?

{MRS. DUKE}
There are those who grace the pages of the blue book
{AUNT MARY}

Never heard of it. Is it a new book?
{MRS. DUKE}
(spoken)
Certainly anyone who is anyone is listed

{AUNT MARY}
(spoken)
Oh, you mean the New York Telephone Directory

{MRS. DUKE}
(spoken)
Hardly

{AUNT MARY}
There are those whose names predate the constitution
{MRS. DUKE}
(spoken)
Yes, and some of them opposed the revolution

{AUNT MARY}
(spoken)
Conservative

{MRS. DUKE}
(spoken)
Reactionary
{JOHN LAWLESS}
(spoken)
Cream cheese and cucumber?


{AUNT MARY}
Philadelphia is the cradle of liberty
{MRS. DUKE}
Smoldering like an aging page of history

{JOHN LAWLESS}
(spoken)
Chopped liver?


{AUNT MARY}
There are those who flaunt posterity
{MRS. DUKE}
There are those who flaunt austerity
Posing cozy on the rosy status quo
{JOHN LAWLESS}
(spoken)
Poison dart, I mean raisin tart
{MRS. DUKE}
There are those quite influential
{AUNT MARY}
There are those quite inconsequential
{MRS. DUKE}
There are those
{AUNT MARY}
There are those
{MRS. DUKE}
There are those
{AUNT MARY}
There are those
[BOTH]
There are those
I suppose
There are those
