Adi:
If you intend to stay with us, before you’ve been a day with us,
You'll learn the proper way with us, of saying what you say with us.
Each speech should have a pun in it, with very foolish fun in it -
And if you can’t bring one in it, you’d better stop away.
Gia:
Rule, rule, of where you've been intruding to -
Fool, fool, learning please begin,
You’ll, you’ll learn to be alluding to
The neighbourhood of Chancery Lane as “Skid a ma Lincoln’s Inn.”
Tom:
And when of punning speech, you know, the end you nearly reach you know,
Experience will teach, you know, a comic song to screech, you know;
And laughter to enhance, you know, each song must have a dance you know -
A needful circumstance, you know, a dozen minutes long!
Nem:
Rule, rule, enjoyment not diminishing,
Fool, fool, booby, booby, boob;
You’ll, you’ll learn each ballad finishing
With a flip-up in the Skidamalink, and a flip in the juben-jube!
Gia:
A soldier of his rank, you know, whose spurs and sabre clank, you know,
Won’t condescend to thank, you know, advice so very frank, you know -
Gia and Cat: (aside)
Of all eccentric villages on whose productive tillages
He’s made his martial pillages, this is the oddest far!
Bel:
Cease, cease, superfluous admonishing,
Please, please, allow me, ma’am to say
These, these syllables astonishing -
“Hunky-dorum doodle diddle day."
Chorus:
Cease, cease superflous admonishing,
Please, please allow the man to say
These, these syllables astonishing (And please encore 'em)
"Hunky-dorum-doodle-diddle-dum day!"
Women: If you intend to stay with us ...etc
Men: Cease, cease, superfluous admonishing ...etc
