No. 19 - Song - Dulcie and Chorus - "Oh, so gently."
Dulcie: | When Gustave proposed to me, He went down on bended knee, And he whispered, oh, so gently; oh, so gently, oh, so gently. |
Girls: | Gustave whispered, oh, so gently; |
Dulcie: | Then I answered "yes." Gustave, when that "yes" he heard, Said, "I'll hold you to your word." Then he held me, oh, so gently; oh, so gently, oh, so gently. |
All: | Gustave held her, oh, so gently, And the rest you'll guess. |
Dulcie: | At the wedding, goodness knows, I was blushing like a rose, I responded, oh, so gently; oh, so gently, oh, so gently. |
Girls: | Said she'd love him, oh, so gently; |
Dulcie: | Honour and obey. All in white I look'd so nice, Down my back they dropp'd some rice, Mother whispered, oh, so gently; oh, so gently, oh, so gently. |
All: | Pa threw slippers, not too gently, When they drove away. |
Dulcie: | When the train began to start, Gustave said, "At last, sweetheart." I said, "Gustave, please go gently; please go gently, please go gently." |
Girls: | She said, "Gustave, please go gently." |
Dulcie: | Gustave said, "Just one." Oh, the journey was divine, On that sweet South Eastern line, For that train went oh, so gently; oh, so gently, oh, so gently. |
All: | Shunting up and down so gently; Oh! it was such fun! |
Dulcie: | Gustave bought a motor car, He said we should travel far, I said, "Gustave, do go gently; do go gently, do go gently." |
Girls: | She said, "Gustave, do go gently." |
Dulcie: | Or you will annoy. Rude police behind a tree, They said, "Come along with me." I said, "Gustave, please go gently; please go gently, please go gently." |
All: | Now then Gustave, please go gently, Au revoir, dear boy! |
Dulcie: | Gustave took me out to sup, Gustave drank some champagne cup; I said, "Gustave, please go gently; please go gently, please go gently." |
Girls: | She said, "Gustave, please go gently." |
Dulcie: | Gently did I frown; In the street that winter's night, Gustave started to recite, I said, "Gustave, do go gently; do go gently, do go gently." |
All: | She said, "Gustave, do go gently." Gustave then sat down. |
Dulcie: | I've a handsome cousin Fred. Gustave said he'd shoot him dead; I said, "Gustave, shoot him gently; shoot him gently, shoot him gently." |
Girls: | She said, "Gustave, shoot him gently." |
Dulcie: | Don't shoot unawares; When I told dear Freddie so, Freddie thought he'd better go; I said, "Freddie, please go gently; please go gently, please go gently." |
All: | She said, "Freddie, please go gently; Down the kitchen stairs." |
