No. 5 - Song - Betty - "Romance"
| Betty: | Though I am not so unwilling Someone rather nice to wed, Yet it isn't half so thrilling As in novels I have read! There, when walking out alone You will meet a man unknown; You dissemble, but you tremble, For you know that he's your own! It's romance at a glance, at a look, When you fall in love in a book! And you think at a wink of his eye, I will win that man, or I'll die! And it seems in your dreams any night, You're a bride at his side all in white — Though you hardly met him, You cannot forget him — You're in love at a glance, It's romance! |
| Parents do not understand it, When their daughter on the spot Loves a pirate or a bandit, So they tell her she must not! Then come tears and fears and hopes, Till the girl at last elopes, Most confiding, softly sliding Down a ladder made of ropes! It's romance, and the chance of a life, When a bandit makes you his wife! It's the height of delight to be dear To a bold and bad buccaneer! Though his cause all the laws may condemn, I declare that I care not for them! If I could discover Such a thrilling lover, I would jump at the chance of romance! |
