LYRICS:

GRACIE - I'm Miss Gracie, honey, and I always bring the funny. I'm so into Jane Austin, my kids call me "Mummy". I'll watch BBC till my hubby gets crabby. I really know what's up in Downton Abbey.

MADISON - I've got flowy lush hair all over the place, and these hips were made for an empire waist. I look good in velvet, satin, and lace, disgrace the Brontes... you'd better watch yo face.

RYANNE - Hey you, yeah you, Matthew Crawley, you blue-eyed blondie, Manchester hottie, you're the new-age, fair-haired Mister Darcy. If I were your fair cousin Mary, I'd be like, "solicitor, I'd like a kissitor, I'll be your lifetime visitor, prisoner of love. I'll give all my suitors a shove, if you give me a buzz, cuz. Just don't play hard to get, cuz."

MADISON - Rollin' down the lane, in my carriage, sippin' on currant juice. Laid back, with my mind on my suitors and my suitors on my mind.

CHORUS - Hey, ho, It's pretty darn funny yo, that if we lived in a time that our favorite shows is, we'd probably have died from tuberculosis.
Hey, ho, it's pretty darn funny yo, that if we lived in a time that our favorite shows is, we'd probably have died young, Y'all gotta love the--

SHIRLEEN --Dowager Countess! You can't count this! The number of times she puts her foot in her mouth is: incredible. Bluntness: unforgettable. Rudeness: regrettable. Yes. Maggie Smith is my hero and this is my anthem, can't stand it, have words with Lord Grantham, Grantham, Grantham, Grantham... You's about to hafta finda different mansion.

JENNIFER - Once I turned down a date and stayed up till dawn to watch the North and South marathon. My friends say I'm crazy, but, for what it's worth, I'll just never love a man as much as Collin Firth.
GRACIE My dowry brings all the boys to the yard, and they like, start quoting the Bard, they try to woo me but, I have to charge... In pounds, probably

CHORUS - Hey, ho, it's pretty darn funny, yo, that our favorite heroines who have so much gumption, most likely would have died of consumption.
Hey, ho, it's pretty darn funny, yo, that us ladies would rather lose our hair than miss watchin' a show about class warfare.

NORA - I just read the proper romance, Edenbrooke, nows I gotsa practice my smoldering looks. My friend loves Phillip but, I'll have to show her, no man stills my heart like Horatio Hornblower. I doth love the menfolk who talk like Keats, Yo Gordy, esquire, throw me some beats.

GORDY - Darcy, Crawley, Willoughby-- those fools ain't got nothing, see. I've got the skills that makes the ladies faint in front of me, I got Sense AND Sensibility. And what about Northhanger Abbey? I got the whole collection on DVD!

RYANNE - I'd push my broom back and forth, I'd push my broom back and forth, if I could clean that cutie Mr. Bingley's room, well, of course.

CHORUS - Hey, ho, it's pretty darn funny, yo, that we'd have taken our chances of gettin' cholera to get a date with a British suitor, holler y'all!
Hey, ho, It's pretty darn funny yo, that if we lived in a time that our favorite shows is, we'd probably have died from tuberculosis.
Hey, ho, it's pretty darn funny, yo that we'd have taken our chances with dysentery if it meant we could be properly married.
