Our grand pooh-bah has assigned me to a girl's trio for the Mardi Gras gala. We're doing "Three Little Maids from School Are We," from The Mikado. I'm having trouble getting excited about it.

The old lithograph comes from it. Here's the link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mikado

Musical horizons are definitely stretched in this choir. Here's a video of a 1940's version done in Andrews Sisters style:
