No. 20 - Trio with Chorus - "Kiss, lad, and never tell."
| Sir Miles: | Yoicks ho! were I younger I'd teach you to dance. Go, die in your hunger To slight such a chance! Stand up to her, Harry, And never be shy, You're going to marry, I would it were I, You're going to marry, I would it were I. |
| Chorus: | 'Tis for us to look down and hush; Let the maiden bridle and blush, But the happy lover when once 'tis over, Let him ever thereafter hush, hush, hush. |
| Molly: | Don't think I am bashful, Or wanting in taste; My arm holds a sashful Of beautiful waist. Her lips are a chalice I'm longing to taste, And thus my sweet Alice I s wholly embraced. |
| Alice: | Before all our friends here! Fie, Harry, for shame! I trust that it ends here For yours is the blame. I'm certain for ever my poor cheeks will blaze; I'll never, no never submit to such ways. |
| Chorus: | 'Tis for us to look down and hush; Let the maiden bridle and blush, But the happy lover when once 'tis over, Let him ever thereafter hush, hush, hush. |
| Molly (in trio): | Kiss, love, and never tell. You must own we did it well, Never fairer chance befell merry youth and pretty maid; Never mind who's looking on. Never count the kiss that's done, Play the game till it is won; Do not be, do not be afraid. |
| Chorus: | Kiss, lad, and never tell, You must own you did it well, Never fairer chance befell merry youth and pretty maid; Never mind who's looking on. Never count the kiss that's done, Play the game till it is won; Do not be, do not be afraid. |
| Molly & Alice: | Kiss, lad, and never tell, You must own you did it well, Never fairer chance befell merry youth and pretty maid; Never mind who's looking on. Never count the kiss that's done, Play the game till it is won; Do not be, do not be afraid. |
| Chorus: | Play the game till it is won, And do not be afraid. |
