A lone G&S fan sat at his PC
On Savoynet, Savoynet, Savoynet
Discussing the merits of New D'Oyly C.,
With Savoynet,Savoynet, Savoynet,
When an e-mail came through with an idea divine,

"If this summer at Buxton you're anxious to shine,
Would you like to perform a production of mine,

Would we tackle "Engaged", which near nobody knew?
|
Chris Wain |
Could we sing "Gondoliers" with a chorus of two?
And the stickiest question of who would play who?

Shani D'Cruze
Stephen Hill |

It was clear "Trial by Jury" would be the best bet
|

|
Since the music was known by us all on the 'Net
|
Anne Allwright |
|
(Savoynet, Savoynet, Savoynet)

So we sent off audition tapes to our MD
With a flattering mugshot and potted CV
|
Karen Anne Loxley |

Then the cast was selected and posted to see
|
Jackie Richards |

Though most of the cast lived up Lancashire way,
|
Phillip Walsh |
|
The Learned Judge hailed from the US of A,
|
Sam Silvers |
|
And the Foreman was Welsh (well, what more can you say?)
|
Bob Richards |
|
It's Savoynet, Savoynet, Savoynet!
|
All |
|
Young Nick, our Defendant, took us on the road
|
Nick Sales |
|
With Savoynet, Savoynet, Savoynet

|
By inviting us all to his humble abode

Though we called it rehearsal, the meaning was clear,
An excuse for the copious consumption of beer,
|
David Duffey |
And it added a lot to the very good cheer
Of Savoynet Savoynet, Savoynet
|
All |
So now you have heard how we came to contrive,
With Savoynet, Savoynet, Savoynet,
A "Trial by Jury" for Festival Five
By Savoynet, Savoynet, Savoynet

All |
Though rehearsals we know we have had precious few,
Still, we hope that our efforts you did not pooh-pooh,
|
Kelsey Thornton |
And we hope that one day we'll get e-mail from you
On Savoynet, Savoynet, Savoynet!
