No. 8 - Song - Hughie and Ladies' Chorus
Hughie: | Though I'm a man of noble birth I'm trying all the time To win renown throughout the earth By daring deeds of crime! But when for deeds that I have done I'm brought before the beak, He doesn't even make a pun And will not let me speak! For when he hears my name He always says the same! It's Hughie, just Hughie, I knew he was Hughie, There are few Such as Hugh In the Zoo-oo-oo, Not two all through Who's Who! It's Hughie, just Hughie, The clue is too true, For it's Hugh-ugh-ugh! |
Girls: | It's who-o-o? |
Hughie: | Just Hugh-ugh-ugh! |
Girls: | That's you! |
Hughie: | Hugh! |
Girls: | It's Hughie, just Hughie, I knew he was Hughie, There are few Such as Hugh In the Zoo-oo-oo, Not two all through Who's Who! It's Hughie, just Hughie, The clue is too true, |

Hughie: | Last week I had a splendid job And miss'd it by a fluke, I thought that I would go and rob My uncle — that's the Duke. In getting in I caught my foot, The Duke sat up in bed, I took him by the throat and put My pistol to his head. He did not seem unnerv'd But quietly observ'd: It's Hughie, just Hughie, I knew he was Hughie, There are few Such as Hugh In the Zoo-oo-oo, Not two all through Who's Who! It's Hughie, just Hughie, The clue is too true, For it's Hugh-ugh-ugh! |
Girls: | It's who-o-o? |

Girls: | That's you! |

Hughie: | I thought last year that I could win In all the Press a place, If I could be defendant in A breach of promise case! I ask'd a dancer for her hand, She gave it at the first — And then I wouldn't marry, and I bade her do her worst! But when the case was tried The judge leant back and sigh'd: It's Hughie, just Hughie, I knew he was Hughie, There are few Such as Hugh In the Zoo-oo-oo, Not two all through Who's Who! It's Hughie, just Hughie, The clue is too true, For it's Hugh-ugh-ugh! |

Hughie: | A girl I thought I would abduct And get her to elope, So right inside her room I chuck'd A letter and a rope; A worthy maiden aunt look'd out, And saw me steal her niece, I hoped that she would raise a shout Of Murder! Thieves! Police! But she put out her head And very calmly said: It's Hughie, just Hughie, I knew he was Hughie, There are few Such as Hugh In the Zoo-oo-oo, Not two all through Who's Who! It's Hughie, just Hughie, The clue is too true, For it's Hugh-ugh-ugh! |
