No. 5 - Quintet - Jo, Lady Violet, Guy, Ronald and Meakin -
"Oh, Mr. Registrar!"
| Lady Violet: | For a stylish and up-to-date wedding Ev'ry well-to-do girl is inclined. |
| Guy: | It's her dearest delight To be married in white, With a bevy of beauty behind. |
| Jo: | But if relatives' wrath one is dreading, Such proceedings of course are absurd. |
| Ronald: | It is not very far To the gay registrar, |
| Meakin: | And remember that mum is the word! |
| Ladies: | Mum is the word! |
| Men: | Mum is the word! |
| Ladies: | Mum is the word! |
| Men: | Mum is the word! |
| All: | Oh, Mister Registrar, What a very obliging man you are! Couples come from near and far, You save them a lot of fuss! |
| Ladies: | Ah! |
| Men: | We're not particular, but |
| All: | A family row we always bar! So, Mister Registrar, You are the man for us. |
| Lady Violet: | Now when happy young couples go flocking To his office in County or Town, |
| Guy: | You have got to declare Certain things, you're aware, And the registrar jots them all down. |
| Jo: | Then you sign with a pen that is shocking, And before you have time to say "knife," |
| Ronald: | In a grim sort of way He will murmur "good-day," |
| Meakin: | And you're legally husband and wife! |
| Ladies: | Husband and wife! |
| Men: | Husband and wife! |
| Ladies: | Husband and wife! |
| Men: | Husband and wife! |
| All: | Oh, Mister Registrar, What a very obliging man you are! Couples come from near and far, You save them a lot of fuss! |
| Ladies: | Ah! |
| Men: | We're not particular, but |
| All: | A family row we always bar! So, Mister Registrar, You are the man for us. |
