No. 8 - Duet - Nancy and Teddy - "Fly-Away Jack."
Teddy: | As Fly-Away Jack soars up aloft Upon his airy flight, Of a dainty little Jill he catches sight. |
Nancy: | And Stop-at-Home Jill is quite surprised When Jack flies down like that, And begins with her to have a little chat. |
Teddy: | Now Jill, no doubt, should turn her back, And toss her head without replying; |
Nancy: | But while she talks to Fly-Away Jack, It's funny how the time goes flying! |
Teddy: | Fly-Away Jack! |
Nancy: | Stop-at-Home Jill! |
Teddy: | Fly-Away Jack is inclined To stop and talk to Jill all day. |
Nancy: | Stop-at-Home Jill wouldn't mind But fears what other folk might say. |
Teddy: | Fly-Away Jack will heave a sigh. |
Nancy: | Somebody might be passing by. You must fly away, But remember that Jack Must fly along back To Jill some day! |
Teddy: | Now Fly-Away Jack hopes Jill some day Will give her friends the slip, And perhaps will let him take her for a trip. |
Nancy: | Oh, Stop-at-Home Jill among the clouds Would love to swoop and dart, But she'll be a little nervous at the start. |
Teddy: | Well, Jack will hold her tight, you see, Until again the earth they're nearing. |
Nancy: | But if Jack's arms aren't perfectly free, However can he do the steering! |
Teddy: | Fly-Away Jack! |
Nancy: | Stop-at-Home Jill! |
Teddy: | Fly-Away Jack in the air Might whisper in a tender tone. |
Nancy: | Stop-at-Home Jill wouldn't care, There'd not be any chaperone. |
Teddy: | Fly-Away Jack might steal a kiss. |
Nancy: | Oh, what is Jill to say to this? You must fly away, But remember that Jack Must fly along back To Jill some day! |
