No. 12 - Quartet - Dick, Elphin, Jim and Liza.
Liza: | Tonight you'll be a bloomin' swell In fancy dress disguise, ah! |
Jim: | Although in marble 'alls I dwell, I won't forget my Liza. |
Elphin: | Without my darling boy I fear I shall be rather lonely; |
Dick: | But please to recollect my dear, This is for one night only. |
All: | For one night only, only for tonight. Does the plan of action Cause dissatisfaction? Though lovers it may sever, Yet all will soon come right, We'll simply smile and wait a little while, Then the parties courted Will be reassorted, It's not for ever and ever, But only, only, only for tonight. |
Jim: | Then you're my gal, I understand, The business is a rum one; |
Elphin: | He seems an honest fellow, and I've got to go with someone. |
Dick: | Remember I'm engaged to you; Altho' it may seem funny. |
Liza: | I like a nice young party who Can chuck about his money. |
All: | For one night only, only for tonight. Does the plan of action Cause dissatisfaction? Though lovers it may sever, Yet all will soon come right, We'll simply smile and wait a little while, Then the parties courted Will be reassorted, It's not for ever and ever, But only, only, only for tonight. |
