Ladies: | Maggie, Winnie, Catkin, Minnie, Alison and Sue, Lucy, Fanny, Mary, Nannie, Here's a nice to-do, Here's a nice to-do. Swords! I saw them grasp and draw them, Gave me such a fright! Now they're flashing, crossing, clashing, Come and see the sight. I've never seen a fight 'Tween a pair of gentlemen. Hurry over, you may never see the like of it again. No, I've never seen a fight 'Tween a pair of gentlemen. Hurry over, you may never see the like of it again, You may never see the like, see the like of it again. |

Hester: | Are you nervous over it? |
Molly: | Heav'n preserve us, not a whit. |
Hester: | Not a whit! |
Mickey: | Not a whit! |
