No. 2 - Song - Bombito and Girls - "If I was a ruler despotical."
| Bombito: | If I was a ruler despotical, Presumably properly paid, I never would banish the Yankees or Spanish, It wouldn't be good for the trade. I would go in for nothing quixotical But say that all women and men Must smoke what is known as Consuelo Coronas — Twelve cents, or a dollar for ten. |
| Girls: | The brand that is known as Consuelo Coronas — Twelve cents, or a dollar for ten, a dollar for... |
| Bombito: | I'd be a warmer Tariff reformer; Belgian cigars I'd forbid you to buy. If they struggled in, or got smuggled in, We would burn them to kill the green fly. |
| Girls: | Burn them to kill the green fly. |
| Bombito: | I would supply you as many, Cheaper than any, two for a penny, All importations from alien nations I'd veto — All your cigars must be got from Bombito. |
| Girls: | Only Bombito cigars! Tra la la! |
| Bombito: | My army would be territorial, And when I appeared at its head Converted quick-firers would find no admirers; We'd all be quick smokers instead! I would build you a Shakespeare memorial, A theatre for all of the stars, Where Brutus, Othello, and that Jewish fellow Would mingle blank verse and cigars. |
| Girls: | Where Brutus, Othello, and that Jewish fellow Would mingle blank verse and cigars, blank verse and cigars. |
| Bombito: | People would then mark Hamlet of Denmark Smoking gigars with the Ghost in the night, While Polonius, quite harmonious, Got Ophelia to give him a light. |
| Girls: | Got her to give him a light. |
| Bombito: | Jessica pert and provoking, While she was joking Still would be smoking. Fairies while sipping their dew-drops and tripping On free toe; All would be smoking cigars from Bombito. |
| Girls: | Smoking Bombito cigars! Tra la la! |
| All: | People would then mark Hamlet of Denmark Smoking gigars with the Ghost in the night, While Polonius, quite harmonious, Got Ophelia to give him a light. Jessica pert and provoking, While she was joking Still would be smoking. Fairies while sipping their dew-drops and tripping On free toe; All would be smoking cigars from Bombito, Smoking Bombito cigars! |
