SONG— Heliodorus
Heliodorus:
I've had a j-j-jolly d-d-day,
But though I am a b-b-bit elated,
Don't think from what I s-s-s-s-say,
I'm in-t-t-toxi-c-c-cated!

I look at the one and I see a p-p-pair,
I catch at sp-sp-spiders and I miss 'em;
And when I g-g-gaze on maidens fair
I want to k-k-k-k-k-k-kiss 'em!
Chorus:
He wants to k-k-k-k-k-k-kiss 'em!
Heliodorus:
But it's n-n-n-nothing but n-n-n-nerves
That's making me walk in these c-c-c-curves,
Don't think I'm a shammer
To st-t-t-tammer,
I s-s-s-suffer from n-n-n-nerves!

To w-w-walk along the st-st-street,
You d-d-don't know what it r-resembles;
With p-p-pins and needles in your feet
And in your kn-kn-knees the t-t-trembles;

I c-c-cling to every w-w-wall,
Embrace each p-p-pllar that is set up;
For if I ch-ch-chanced to f-f-fall,
How should I g-g-g-g-g-g-get up?
Chorus:
How could he g-g-g-g-g-g-get up?
Heliodorus:
But it's n-n-n-nothing but n-n-n-nerves
That's making me walk in these c-c-c-curves,
Don't think I'm a shammer
To st-t-t-tammer,
I s-s-s-suffer from n-n-n-nerves!

It's hard to f-f-find one's d-d-door,
When s-s-something has p-p-perplex'd one;
I've always walk'd in st-st-straight before,
Today I got inside the n-n-next one.

I hadn't t-t-time to look around,
When someone c-c-cover'd me with kisses,
And in my arms I f-f-f-f-found
Another f-f-fellow's m-m-missis.
Chorus:
Another f-f-fellow's m-m-missis.
Heliodorus:
But it's n-n-n-nothing but n-n-n-nerves
That's making me walk in these c-c-c-curves,
Don't think I'm a shammer
To st-t-t-tammer,
I s-s-s-suffer from n-n-n-nerves!
