No. 4 - Duet - June and Pedro -
"Please don't flirt with me!"
June: | You foreigners have romantic ways, When merely paying a call You flash your eyes and heave big sighs Which mean — well, nothing at all. You bow and you bend, you gasp and gaze, You place your hand on your heart; No matter who you're talking to, You flirt from the very start. |
Pedro: | But I can't help doing this When I meet a charming miss! |
June: | Oh, please don't flirt with me, Don't try to flirt with me, I've been warned by mother and father, Men are rather bold and free! I think you'd better be More careful, mon ami, For it might be terribly awkward If someone should see; So I think you'd better take care Not to flirt with me! |
Pedro: | But surely there's not much harm in this, Flirtation isn't a crime, It's just a gay delightful way Of merely passing the time. A squeeze of the hand, a stolen kiss, A whisper into your ear. Ma foi, c'est tout! It's what we do When nobody else is near. |
June: | But perhaps my fiancé Might be rather in the way! |
Pedro: | Ah, won't you flirt with me? Do try to flirt with me! If I met your mother and father We might rather disagree! |
Both (his words): | I promise I will be Most careful, mon ami, Though I don't suppose it is likely That someone will see; And besides, I really don't care If you'll flirt with me! |
