the clockmaker's daughter cast - a modest modiste lyrics

*bell rings*
[abigail, spoken]
hello? ma riley?

[ma riley, spoken]
no!

[abigail, spoken]
i’m sorry, no?

[ma riley, spoken]
go away!

[abigail, spoken]
um, i have money…

[ma riley, sung]
won’t you come inside my love? come and take a seat, my dear
let me bring the girls in, the samples, i’ve ample examples to show you here
i can take your size and shape, drape it in the finest of tastes
give you grace and i’ll waste no expense
for dispensing your waist
cover up or emphasise
i can make you mesmerize
with a little tweak here, a pinch in of inches, you’ll tantalize
i can take your fantasies
make a few realities happen in fashion you’ll find it all here
tied at the seams
all of your dreams
i can put a price on them
at the modest modiste

(spoken)
now, was it something in particular? bonnet, bodice or bustle? i could rustle you up a lovely ball gown, something cl-ssy perhaps?

[abigail, spoken]
oh actually, i’m getting married

[ma riley, spoken]
*gasps* a wedding dress! why didn’t you say something? will! the satins!

(sung)
what a nice surprise my love, what a lucky man my dear
aren’t you just the sweetest intended i’ve tended so help me, that much is clear
you’ll shall the best in stock
not another word on the price my advice is a marginal fee
mid-marginally
take it from a girl who knows
what a woman says in clothes
says a little more than what she says when she says what she tries to say
even on the best of days
let us take the burden of of speaking and dash it with sequins, my dear
layered with lace
perfectly placed, i can put a price on your every wish
the best there is my sweet
at the modest modiste
oh how i remember
back when i was young, a first time bride
strong, sweet and tender
was the man i stood beside
but how was i to know
that by turn of spring
i’d be widowed, him buried with nothing but credit
a loss that i’d buried, survived to inherit
alone and in doubt and with thousands of tears
bequeathed and burdened all of my years

[seamstresses]
one day makes a lifetime
in the sunshine, or in rain
and only the best kind of seamstress can stress how a dress and success are the same

[ma riley]
one way to be certain
have a future in the sun
is to open and empty your heart to ma riley
she’ll wrap it in brocade and taffeta, cotton, organza or chiffon, some velvet, a strip of damask will be quite nice, a basque at the right place
a suitor pursuits a beaut such as you
[instrumental]
here, order their dreams
lined at the seams
reams of revelry
yes i can put a price on your every wish, i’m the best there is my sweet
wrong? i can make it right, anything you like
come and see a visionary for a little fee
with a guarantee of a little happiness
yes, i can decorate your decolletage
i can take the small and the large
need to turn a hem, get a little bend
with a certain trend or two
come to the very best
you can get a dress
don’t you worry
all of your doubts are released
at the modest modiste
the modest modiste
the modest modiste
