Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCAAAAAAA ADDEEAAAAFFAEEAA AGGEEHHIIEEAEEAA| Monseigneur plays his new gavotte | A |
| Within her gilded chair the Queen | B |
| Listens her rustling maids between | B |
| A very tulip garden stirred | A |
| To hear the fluting of a bird | A |
| Faint sunlight through the casement falls | C |
| On cupids painted on the walls | C |
| At play with doves Precisely set | A |
| Awaits the slender legged spinet | A |
| Expectant of its happy lot | A |
| The while the player stays to twist | A |
| The cobweb ruffle from his wrist | A |
| A pause and then Ah whisper not | A |
| Monseigneur plays his new gavotte | A |
| - | |
| Monseigneur plays his new gavotte | A |
| Hark 'tis the faintest dawn of Spring | D |
| So still the dew drops whispering | D |
| Is loud upon the violets | E |
| Here in this garden of Pierrettes' | E |
| Where Pierrot waits ah hasten Sweet | A |
| And hear on dainty tripping feet | A |
| She comes the little glad coquette | A |
| Ah thou Pierrot Ah thou Pierrette | A |
| A kiss nay hear a bird wakes then | F |
| A silence and they kiss again | F |
| Ah Mesdames have you quite forgot | A |
| So laughs his music Love's first kiss | E |
| Let this note lead you then and this | E |
| Back to that fragrant garden spot | A |
| Monseigneur plays his new gavotte | A |
| - | |
| Monseigneur plays his new gavotte | A |
| Ah hear in that last note they go | G |
| The little lovers laughing so | G |
| Kissing their finger tips they dance | E |
| From out this gilded room of France | E |
| Adieu Monseigneur rises now | H |
| Ready for compliment and bow | H |
| Playing about his mouth the while | I |
| Its cynical accustomed smile | I |
| Protests and hand on heart avers | E |
| The patience of his listeners | E |
| A masterpiece Ah surely not | A |
| A grey eyed maid of honour slips | E |
| A long stemmed rose across her lips | E |
| And drops it does he guess her thought | A |
| Monseigneur plays his new gavotte | A |
