No. 20 - Duet - Charlie and Leroy - "Entertainments"
| Leroy: | Of all the entertainments That now are quite the rage, There's one they say has come to stay On our dear old English stage. |
| Charlie: | Tho' its origin is Frenchy It's as goody as can be, You simply sing a song in a swing Or ride on an old donkey. |
| Leroy: | Ah, Véronique, Ah, Véronique, |
| Charlie: | You've not seen me? I'm a donkey. Give me a carrot. |
| Both: | Carrot, carrot, carrot, carrot, Give me just a carrot in The "Very nick" of time. |
| Leroy: | There's another entertainment That has lately made a stir Where a chorus sings sweet soothing things And the limelight's fixed on "her." |
| Charlie: | She's dressed as a gallant soldier And the battle's roar is heard, And the band plays so very loud That you can't hear a single word. |
| Leroy: | How do, little girl, how do? It's true, little girl, quite true, I'm going to leave my grocer's shop, For I'm off up to town to be a p'liceman. |
| Charlie: | How do, little girl, how do? I'm going to be dressed in blue, And tho' marching off to war I'll come back for one encore, What a nice how'd you do, do, do. |
| Leroy: | How do, little girl, how do? It's true, little girl, quite true, I'm going to leave my grocer's shop, For I'm off up to town to be a p'liceman. |
| Charlie: | How do, little girl, how do? I'm going to be dressed in blue, And tho' marching off to war I'll come back for one encore, What a nice how'd you do, do, do. |
| Leroy: | Of acrobats and conj'res We're getting rather tired; And song of the moon and the cotton coon Are no longer much desired; |
| Charlie: | We've Maskelyne's and Cook'd it Of mystery the home; And now we go to the Pigmy show At the Hip-Hip-Hoppodrome! |
