Bobinet, Gerard, and Baron

    Play the MIDI File MIDI File 1' 02"

GERARD: Now here's a gun that's freshly primed,
    Where can the owner be?
BOBINET: Oh, that's a question most ill-timed!
BARON: I think he possibly has climbed
    Up a tree!
ALL:   Up a tree! Up a tree!
       
GERARD: Then look in every twig and bough;
    There's something there, I see!
BOBINET: I knew they'd find me out somehow!
BARON: You villain, I have got you now
    Up a tree!
BOBINET, GERARD: Up a tree!
BARON:     Up a tree!
BOBINET, GERARD: Up a tree!
ALL:   Up a tree! Up a tree! Up a tree!
       
BARON: Well, I say one, and I say two,
    And when I come to three
GERARD: Come down, or he will riddle you!
BOBINET: I'd rather stay and have the view
    Up a tree!
BOBINET, BARON: Up a tree! Up a tree!
       
BARON: But I object; and I have got
    The gun you left for me!
GERARD: So come to us; if you do not —
BOBINET: I'm coming quicker than a shot
    Down the tree!
BARON, GERARD: Down the tree!
BOBINET:     Down the tree!
ALL:     Down the tree! Down the tree! Down the tree!
      [Dance
