No. 17 - Duet - Rosalie and Boniface - "The Nice New Parasol."
| Rosalie: | When I was a child about so high, And feeding the ducks and chickens! |
| Chorus: | The chickens! The chickens! Tra, la, la, la, la, la, la! |
| Rosalie: | If ever I get to town, said I, You'll see that I'll play the dickens! |
| Chorus: | The dickens! The dickens! Tra, la, la, la, la, la, la! |
| Rosalie: | I'll know a lot of nice young men, And I'll be dressed like a lady then! Oh! tol de rol de rol! Said I to my old doll, I'll come back soon on an afternoon With a nice new parasol! |
| Chorus: | Oh! tol de rol de rol! Said she to her old doll, She'd come back soon on an afternoon With a nice new parasol! |
| Boniface: | When I have been slaving at my desk At wearisome legal cases! |
| Chorus: | At cases! At cases! Tra, la, la, la, la, la, la! |
| Boniface: | I long for a lane that's picturesque And fitted for fond embraces! |
| Chorus: | Embraces! Embraces! Tra, la, la, la, la, la, la! |
| Boniface: | I've brought my girl to a rural scene, But still a barrier comes between! Oh! tol de rol de rol! In lanes where lovers loll, It does get so in the way, you know, Does that awkward parasol! |
| Chorus: | Oh! tol de rol de rol! In lanes where lovers loll, It does get so in the way, you know, Does that awkward parasol! |
