No. 6 - Duet - Mimosa and Fairfax - Kissing Duet
| Fairfax: | You're a charming little geisha, Quite the nicest girl in Asia, But I fear there's something missing, Oh, my pretty Japanese! English, French and German misses Do not ask me what a kiss is, They are all expert at kissing. |
| Mimosa: | Will you teach me, if you please? I believe I'm quick and clever, And I promise I'll endeavour In the task to do you credit, If your pupil I may be! Oh my sailor bright and breezy, Is it difficult or easy? Is it nice or shall I dread it? |
| Fairfax: | Only wait, and you shall see! |
| Mimosa: | I am half afraid to try |
| Fairfax: | Then the task we won't pursue. |
| Mimosa: | Shall I like it by and by? |
| Fairfax: | It's objected to by few! |
| Both: | Little maiden, Wonder-laden Ev'ry day learns something new! |
| Fairfax: | Now to make my meaning clearer You must come a little nearer Having first discover'd whether There is anyone about! Then you face half shyly raising Till your eyes in his are gazing, Place your pretty lips together In a dainty little pout. |
| Mimosa: | If a smile my cheeks should dimple, It's because it's all so simple! Why of such a tame proceeding Should you make so great a fuss? It's a farce absurdly hollow But perhaps there's more to follow? For instruction I am pleading. |
| Fairfax: | And I give it to you thus! |
| Mimosa: | It has charms I can't explain. |
| Fairfax: | Which you never knew before! |
| Mimosa: | Teach me once, just once again! |
| Fairfax: | Pretty pupils I adore. |
| Both: | Little maiden Wonder-laden Ev'ry day learns something more! |
