Comments:

This is the opening number for Act Two ... another critical song-placement moment for Broadway purists.

This particular scene is staged at a polo match in the Hampton's, populated with snobby, snooty people, the antithesis of who Vivian is. Edward's lawyer, Philip Stuckey, makes a feature appearance here, soliciting (in song) questionable donations for a mildly fraudulent charitable fund on behalf of the Senator from Hawaii.

This is Stuckey's only song in the musical, Jerry having decided to delete a previous scene with a song titled, "Money Makes The Man" ... a fun song, arranged in a Barbershop Quartet style. The lyric humorously referenced Stuckey's greed and avarice without making him completely unlikable. Personally, I miss that song in the musical, but perhaps it'll resurface at some point in the future.

Ensemble: 
CHAMPAGNE AND SUNSHINE
PONIES AND FINE WINE
WHO WOULDN'T WANT TO BE US?

NEVER A TIZZY
WE'RE WAY TOO BUSY
BEING FABULOUS

SO BRING ON THE BUBBLES
FORGET ALL YOUR TROUBLES
CUZ EVERYTHING'S GOING OUR WAY

WELCOME TO OUR WORLD
WELCOME TO OUR WORLD
THE MATCH IS ON SO COME AND JOIN US
WELCOME TO OUR WORLD
MORE CHAMPAGNE

Stuckey:
COUPLES OR SOLO
WE ALL LOVE POLO
THE SPORT OF KINGS AND QUEENS

BEFORE WE CONTINUE
WE NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE
AND YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS

IT'S THE AGE-OLD TRADITION
WHERE WE REPOSITION THE DIVOTS
DON'T FORCE IT
AND DON'T STEP IN THE HORSE ...

Ensemble: 
WELCOME TO OUR WORLD
WELCOME TO OUR WORLD

WELCOME TO OUR WORLD
