No. 9 - Trio - Pickwick, Weller and Wardle - "Boys will be boys."
MIDI File
| Weller: | Now I maintain in this here land, Which as we know's a free one, That ev'ryone should understand A boy has a right to be one. So when he's a man he will enjoy The thought of the time when he was a boy. Then ho! for the days of the cobbler's wax That we put in the teacher's seat. |
| Wardle: | And the fruit we stole. |
| Pickwick: | God bless my soul. What other was half so sweet. |
| Weller: | The runaway ring |
| Wardle: | And the purse on a string That we used on all Fools' Day. |
| Weller: | The pies in the dirt! |
| Wardle: | And the squirt! |
| Pickwick: | How it hurt to put them all away! Well? |
| All: | Boys will be boys, Boys will be boys, The world may change and things seem strange, But boys will still be boys. Boys will be boys, Boys will be boys, The world may change and things seem strange, But boys will still be boys. |
| Wardle: | Now in this world for ev'ryone Enjoyment should be plenty. It's good to think of all the fun We had when we were twenty. When ev'ry man was your dearest friend, And money was only a thing to spend. Then O! for the days that we turned into night. |
| Weller: | And the night into day instead. |
| Pickwick: | When we drank and fought With never a thought Of the early morning head. |
| Wardle: | The rattle of dice. |
| Weller: | And the lot of advice What we never, never took. |
| Wardle: | And the girl we met. |
| Weller: | And 'ud fret |
| Pickwick: | And forget entirely how she'd look. Well! |
| All: | Boys will be boys, Boys will be boys, The world may change and things seem strange, But boys will still be boys. Boys will be boys, Boys will be boys, The world may change and things seem strange, But boys will still be boys. |
| Pickwick: | But one thing we must not forget; If we've been fairly thrifty, There's lots of pleasure for us yet When we are over fifty. It's a fact that never can be disguised, The Old Boy isn't to be despised. Then O! for the pipe and the bowl of punch. |
| Wardle: | And the seat by the roaring blaze. |
| Weller: | And a rollicking song to help along the memory of old days. |
| Pickwick: | The fatherly views we pretend to use To ev'ry pretty girl. Well! |
| All: | Boys will be boys, Boys will be boys, The world may change and things seem strange, But boys will still be boys. Boys will be boys, Boys will be boys, The world may change and things seem strange, But boys will still be boys. |
