Dudley: | I'm not feeling very inclined, my love, To go up to town with the rest. |
June: | Then why can't we linger behind, my love, I like your society best. |
Dudley: | I think we'll do what you suggest. I'll stop and flirt with you, Yes, that's the thing to do, By the riverside in the gloaming We'll go roaming, just we two. |
June: | And all the evening through We'll softly bill and coo. For we're not so awfully eager To see this revue, And I really rather would stop here And flirt with you! |
Victoria: | (spoken) Telegram for you, Sir! |

Men's words: | We won't get too upset, Or begin to fuss and frown; Oh, we boys mustn't mind If we have to stop behind While the girls to up to town, |
All: | So we'll all go up to town! Ev'ry gal with a pal In her smartest evening gown. If there's fun to be got We'll enjoy ourselves a lot, If there's fun to be got We'll enjoy ourselves a lot, Ev'ry gal with a pal, Ev'ry gal with a pal, If the boys aren't inclined they can all stop behind, And so we'll all go up to town! Ev'ry gal with a pal, In her smartest evening gown. If there's fun to be got We'll enjoy ourselves a lot, When we once get up to town! |
