No. 15 - Quintet - "Keep Cool."
| Lyndale: | Though with rage and indignation you're aglow, Do not show you're upset. |
| Teddy: | Though my temper boils until I nearly bust, Yet I must win the bet. |
| Widdicombe: | When I think about the trip I've got to take, Then I shake like a leaf. I shall never see my happy home again, If the 'plane comes to grief. |
| Baron: | Ah! Messieurs, at times like these Don't get angry, if you please! |
| All: | Pray be cool! Calm and cool! Though with rage you may be quivering, Or with fear you're simply shivering, Still you'll find that it's wiser, as a rule, To behave as though there was nothing the matter, And keep quite cool! |
| Lyndale: | You may feel inclin'd to rave and tear your hair, Or to swear like the deuce. |
| Teddy: | I should like to hit him hard upon the nose But suppose that's no use. |
| Widdicombe: | I should like to run away on nimble feet Like a fleet antelope; But my legs are somehow rooted to the spot, So there's not any hope! |
| Baron: | Ah! Messieurs, what do you dread? It is wrong to lose your head. |
| All: | Pray be cool! Calm and cool! Though with rage you may be quivering, Or with fear you're simply shivering, Still you'll find that it's wiser, as a rule, To behave as though there was nothing the matter, And keep quite cool! |
