No. 12 - Duet - Nancy and Teddy
Nancy: | I'm busy here, and so I fear I can't spare you a minute! |
Teddy: | I don't care what old job you're got, For you can count me in it! |
Nancy: | I dance or skate till rather late, It takes my time up fully! |
Teddy: | Oh, that's quite right, we'll dance all night! It's bully! It's bully! |
Nancy: | But will your style agree with mine? |
Teddy: | You try awhile, we'll get it fine! If I were to dance like you, You and I, we two, Then what a lovely dance we could do! |
Nancy: | If you were to dance like me, I can clearly see That very soon our steps would agree! |
Nancy: | It's rather nice upon the ice, I'm skating all the time there! |
Teddy: | I guess that then the other men Will cut no ice when I'm there! |
Nancy: | You must observe the way I curve, The outside edge I'm great on! |
Teddy: | You'll stare, I bet, when I can get A skate on! A skate on! |
Nancy: | You will not skate like me, I doubt! |
Teddy: | At any rate, we'll sit it out! If I were to skate like you, You and I, we two, Then what a lovely glide we could do! |
Nancy: | If you were to skate like me, I can clearly see That very soon our styles would agree! |
