| And a hardhearted man besides.
|
| Hardhearted, Mrs. Corney? |
| Hard?
|
| Are you hardhearted, Mrs. Corney?
|
| Dear me! |
| What a curious question coming
|
| from a single man.
|
| What can you want to know
|
| for, Mr. Bumble? |
| Mr. Bumble, I shall scream!
|
| No you wouldn’t, heigh ho.
|
| If I wanted something special,
|
| Then you couldn’t say no.
|
| Did I nearly catch you smiling?
|
| Yes I did. |
| And it’s beguiling.
|
| If you hand is close, I’ll press it.
|
| Yes, you like it -- come confess it!
|
| Yes, you do…
|
| No, I don’t.
|
| Yes, you do!
|
| I shall scream! |
| I shall scream!
|
| 'Til they hasten to my rescue, I shall scream.
|
| Since there’s nobody that’s near us Who cold see us. |
| or could hear us?
|
| If you ask you can I kiss you
|
| Say what will my pretty miss do?
|
| I shall scream, scream, scream!
|
| If I pinch you one pinch --
|
| From you shy protective shell
|
| Can I un-inch you one inch?
|
| Will my blinthesome, buxum beauty
|
| Let her suitor do his duty?
|
| Tho’his lap ain’t very large, dear
|
| Sit upon it -- There’s no charge, dear.
|
| Will you sit?
|
| No, I shan’t
|
| Will you sit?
|
| I shall scream! |
| I shall scream!
|
| For the safety of my virtue I shall sream
|
| Tho’your knee is rather cosy,
|
| See my cheeks are getting rosy.
|
| You would have me in your power.
|
| If I sat here for an hour…
|
| I shall scream, scream, scream!
|
| You’re a naughty bad man.
|
| If you think I can’t be proper,
|
| Prim and haughty -- I can
|
| And you’ll pardon if I mention
|
| You must state your true intention.
|
| Is there not another room here?
|
| No!
|
| If there would be a bride and groom here --- would there be?
|
| Well there might.
|
| We shall see.
|
| I shall scream! |
| I shall scream!
|
| At the thought of what you’re thinking, I shall scream!
|
| You will wonder where the scream went
|
| When we ome to an agreement
|
| As my lovey-dovey is chubby
|
| Could she love a chubby hubby?
|
| I shall scream, Mr. Bumble!
|
| I shall scream, Bumble-Wumble!
|
| I shall scream, scream, scream! |
