No. 2 - Song - Schnapps and Chorus
| Schnapps: | Mister Hook started quite low down in life, In a tiny distillery with a fat lumpy wife; In the days when there wasn't a 'bus or a tram, And he walked from his home three miles out of Amsterdam! |
| Chorus: | Miles out of Amsterdam! |
| Schnapps: | Now Missis Hook popped off when just thirty-three, So Hook was a widow'r quite early, you see; And bus'ness was bad, 'twas a sorry outlook, Still one thing remained in the world to Mister Hook. |
| Chorus: | And that was? |
| Schnapps: | He had a little daughter With plenty of brains, And Missis Hook had taught her With infinite pains; And though upon the father With pride you may look It's all due to the big brains Of little Miss Hook. |
| Chorus: | He had a little daughter With plenty of brains, And Missis Hook had taught her With infinite pains; And though upon the father With pride you may look It's all due to the big brains Of little Miss Hook. |
| Schnapps: | Mister Hook did not know quite what to do, But his daughter, though very young, was sensible too; And although the young men would not leave her alone, Still a terrible coldness to all of them she'd shown. |
| Chorus: | To all of them she'd shown. |
| Schnapps: | She worked at the bus'ness, and matters improved, Till into a shop of his very own he moved; Ev'ry luxury soon Mister Hook could afford — If he'd only been English he must have been a lord! |
| Chorus: | The reason? |
| Schnapps: | He had a little daughter With plenty of brains, And Missis Hook had taught her With infinite pains; And though upon the father With pride you may look It's all due to the big brains Of little Miss Hook. |
| Chorus: | He had a little daughter With plenty of brains, And Missis Hook had taught her With infinite pains; And though upon the father With pride you may look It's all due to the big brains Of little Miss Hook. |
