No. 23 - Duet - Militza and Duke - "Disguises."
| Militza: | We've got to adopt a disguise To effect our escape from the town, |
| Duke: | I think dressing up would be wise If we want to avoid dressing down. |
| Militza: | Though a Moorish disguise you may quiz, Let us be Orientals because I can figure as Abdul Aziz, |
| Duke: | And I can be Abdul as was! |
| Both: | Ah Dubec and Melachrino Salomone and Gluckstino! Fit for a Sultan, or for Rajah! Trichinopoly Cherooty, Nestor and Egyptian Beauty, Black Cat, Flore de Cabbaja! |
| Duke: | As a great operatic artiste I'll escape from the Anarchist host, |
| Militza: | I'll be Tetrazzini at least |
| Duke: | I have got Moody Manners at most! |
| Militza: | I can sing a top note of the best And my B is an absolute boom! |
| Duke: | I am great when I throw out my chest If I only have some Melba-room! |
| Both: | Opera Italiano! High tenore, sweet soprano! Pagliacci, Tosti, Verdi! Saffronillo, hurdy-gurdy! Grind organo in a wrong key, Spare a copper for the monkey! |
| Duke: | How cold this little hand! |
| Militza: | I cannot find the limelight. |
| Duke: | Die Walküre! |
| Militza: | Die Götterdämmerung, |
| Elsa I love thee! |
