No. 5 - Duet - Jessie and Hawkins
| Jessie: | When I was the tiniest kid, I was taught to do only as bid, And now I'm perfection, |
| Chorus: | You might pass inspection. |
| Jessie: | Did you think that my charms were hid? |
| Chorus: | We did. |
| Jessie: | Though I'm only a maid, it is true, Of my make there is only a few, You'll find them most never, |
| Chorus: | We think we are clever, |
| Jessie: | But I think I am more so don't you? |
| Chorus: | We do. |
| Jessie: | Well, I'm sure that you think what is true. For a cleverer domestic you will rarely ever see, And ev'ry part of the servant's art I know from A to G. If you'd like to take a lesson serving brochette or a bun, Just drop in on me at luncheon And I'll show you how it's done. |
| Jessie & Chorus: | |
| For a cleverer domestic you will rarely ever see, And ev'ry part of the servant's art I know from A to G. If you'd like to take a lesson serving brochette or a bun, Just drop in on me at luncheon And I'll show you how it's done. |

| Hawkins: | When I was the tiniest lad, I didn't mind as I was bade, But Pa was abusive, |
| Chorus: | And that was conclusive, |
| Hawkins: | You must have had that sort of dad. |
| Chorus: | We had. |
| Hawkins: | So after a time, I was far From having a peer or a par, A valet of standing, |
| Chorus: | For standing commanding, |
| Hawkins: | Oh, you should be proud of your star. |
| Chorus: | We are. |
| Hawkins: | He's fit for the suite of a Czar. I'm the lily of the valets, I say "valley" for the joke. It's "valet" if you've money, and it's "valley" if you're broke. If you'd like to have me show you How a house of mine is run, Just drop in on me at luncheon And I'll show you how it's done. |
| Hawkins & Chorus: | |
| I'm the lily of the valets, I say "valley" for the joke. It's "valet" if you've money, and it's "valley" if you're broke. If you'd like to have me show you How a house of mine is run, Just drop in on me at luncheon And I'll show you how it's done. |
