No. 19 - Duet - Ruth and Willie - "Cupid does not marry."
| Ruth: | When your heart begins to flutter And your head begins to whirl, Look out, my boy, take care. You should recognize the symptoms Of an overdose of girl. Beware, young man, beware. If you find your heart entangled In the meshes of a curl, Don't imagine you've a mortgage Or an undiscovered pearl. She's a hummer in the summer, But you cannot overcome her, For Cupid cannot catch the summer girl. |
| Both: | Oh, Cupid is a foxy boy. He knows what he's about. He gets you into awful scrapes But never gets you out. If e'er he coaxes you to wed You'll find it wise to tarry. Do ev'rything that Cupid does, But Cupid does not marry. |
| Willie: | When you meet a chap who tells you That he's never loved before, Look out, my girl, take care. Just remember that he's said it To a dozen girls before. Beware, my girl, beware. If he swears that he adores you With a passion quite sublime And says if you refuse him It will drive him straight to crime, When he springs that hocus pocus Tell him that he's out of focus, For he does it just to pass away the time. |
| Both: | Oh, Cupid is a foxy boy. He knows what he's about. He gets you into awful scrapes But never gets you out. If e'er he coaxes you to wed You'll find it wise to tarry. Do ev'rything that Cupid does, But Cupid does not marry. |
