No. 14 - Trio - David, Jotte and Playne - "We ought to combine."
| David: | A woman's too much for a man all alone, She knows all his tricks and a lot of her own, |
| Jotte: | For instance, a woman who owes for a dress Will go to a man in the greatest distress. She sobs on his neck till he settles the bill, |
| Playne: | Yes, I gave her a cheque, |
| Jotte: | Well, she's owing it still! |
| All: | Too true! What is one to do? |
| Jotte: | We men ought to combine, |
| David: | Ought to combine, |
| Playne: | Fall into line! |
| Jotte: | All pull together |
| Playne: | Like birds of a feather, |
| All: | And stick it through rain and through shine! |
| David: | All for each, and each for all. |
| Jotte: | United we stand and divided we fall. |
| Playne: | And if you don't mind this suggestion of mine, I think we ought to combine, |
| All: | Yes, yes, we certainly ought to combine! |
| David: | A woman behaves in so cruel a way, She will not believe you, whatever you say, |
| Playne: | Supposing your wife writes a note to a man And asks him to meet her some day if he can, She will not confess when she's caught in the act. |
| Jotte: | No, she says it was yours, |
| Playne: | So it was as a fact! |
| All: | Too true! What are we to do? |
| Playne: | We men ought to combine, |
| Jotte: | Ought to combine, |
| David: | Fall into line! |
| Jotte: | Back up each other |
| Playne: | Like brother and brother, |
| All: | For that's the alliance we sign! |
| David: | Pull in time and keep your length! |
| Playne: | And always remember that Union is Strength! |
| Jotte: | I have got a new and effective design — I say we ought to combine, |
| All: | Yes, yes, we certainly ought to combine! |
| Jotte: | The women won't conquer us now if they try, |
| Playne: | Together we stand and together we lie! |
| David: | For instance, if one of you gets in a mess, I'll take all the blame on myself and confess! No woman will get over me, I'll engage. |
| Playne: | I should like to know why? |
| David: | Well, I'm still under age! |
| All: | That's true, it's what we will do! |
| David: | We men ought to combine, |
| Playne: | Ought to combine, |
| Jotte: | Fall into line! |
| David: | All of us do it, |
| Playne: | We've got to go through it! |
| All: | And one stitch in time will save nine! |
| David: | Cut your coat to suit your cloth! |
| Jotte: | And too many cooks make a hash of the broth! |
| David: | Well, I have a plan that I think rather fine, |
| Jotte & Playne: | You think we ought to combine, |
| All: | Yes, yes, we certainly ought to combine! |
