No. 19 - Duet - Ronald and Jo - "A-lack-a-day."
| Jo: | I never was so thoroughly wretched
and sad in all my life, Ah me! Alack-a-day, Alas! |
| Ronald: | It's such a nuisance having to travel
with someone else's wife. Ah me! Alack-a-day, Alas! |
| Jo: | Though rudeness as a general thing
I very much deplore, You'll pardon me for mentioning that I find you such a bore! |
| Ronald: | I feel the same, but didn't see how I could tell you so before! |
| Both: | Ah me! Alack-a-day, Alas! |
| Jo: | ] For six-and-thirty hours
I haven't had half a chance to flirt, Ah me! Alack-a-day, Alas! |
| Ronald: | A honeymoon's not qute so romantic
as foolish folk assert, Ah me! Alack-a-day, Alas! |
| Jo: | We look a most attractive young pair, as ev'ry one agrees, But what's the use in having a "hub" you're not allowed to squeeze? |
| Ronald: | There's not much fun in having a wifey who won't sit on your knees. |
| Both: | Ah me! Alack-a-day, Alas! But we must relieve our feelings just a little, little bit, There are such a lot of things we want to see. As we find it rather slow, You and I had better go On the spree, spree, spree, spree, spree! |
