No. 10 - Duet - Mary and Hughie - "Not that sort of person"
Mary: | I will confess that as a man you're all but ideal; I must admit, too, that my heart you almost could steal. I hope you won't consider I'm not over polite; You're pretty near the sort of man I want, but not quite! If you were just the sort of fellow I could admire, If you were just the model man A girl could desire, Then we could have a giddy time At Theatre and Ball; But as it is, you're not that sort of Person at all! |
Hughie: | If I were just the sort of fellow She could admire, If I were just the model man A girl could desire, Then we could have a giddy time At Theatre and Ball; |
Mary: | But as it is, you're not that sort of Person at all! |
Hughie: | I realize my love for you was all but inspired; I've seen a diamond bracelet that I almost acquired. And if I saw you in a church arrayed all in white I'd pretty nearly mumble out "I will!" but not quite! If you were just the sort of girl That I could adore, If you had only got a modest Million or more, Then I next Saturday upon Your father would call; But as it is I don't intend To do so at all! |
Mary: | If I were just the sort of girl That he could adore, If I had only got a modest Million or more, Then he next Saturday upon My father would call; |
Hughie: | But as it is I don't intend To do so at all! |
