No. 31 - Song - Madame Amelie - "Do you remember?"

MIDI File

Madame Amelie: Do you remember all the bonnets that you bought?
I'm sure at any rate you don't forget their price!
You spent a very great deal more, sir, than you ought,
But I was nice, extremely nice!
You don't regret the little cheques you drew for me?
And oh! mon cher, what happy days those used to be!
The cost alarming! But I was charming!
You're not past paying pretty compliments I see!
Days of flighty highty tighty!
Are they worth regretting?
Tell me, sir, is it so?
Yes or no? Yes or no?
Shall we try, sir, you and I, sir,
Bygone days forgetting?
Squeeze my little hand and whisper low,
"No! no! no! no! no! no! no!"
   
  Do you forget the little suppers that we had?
You said you liked those songs from Paris that I sung!
Oh! dear, I hope you didn't think me very bad!
But I was young, extremely young!
Oh please believe that now I'm serious and grave;
I teach young ladies how young ladies should behave.
When duties free me, do come and see me!
I've never yet return'd the presents that you gave.
Days of flighty highty tighty!
Are they worth regretting?
Tell me, sir, is it so?
Yes or no? Yes or no?
Shall we try, sir, you and I, sir,
Bygone days forgetting?
Squeeze my little hand and whisper low,
"No! no! no! no! no! no! no!"
