No. 8 - Trio - "When once I get hold of a good-looking He."
Lady Virginia: | When once I get hold of a good-looking He, With a balance at Coutts' sufficient for me; Or an Indian Prince who has stayed with the Queen, And whose diamonds are really the biggest I've seen-- Now matter how much or how little I know of him, Take it for granted I never let go of him! |
Sir Lewis: | Never oh, never, |
Dr. Brierly: | She never, no never, |
All: | no, never lets go of him! |
Sir Lewis: | When once I get hold of some popular case, A divorce that involves any Duke in disgrace, Or a "Card-Sharping Scandal," or "Serious charge," Putting seats on the Bench at a premium large — Now matter how much or how little I know of it, Take it for granted I never let go of it! |
Lady Virginia: | Never oh, never, |
Dr. Brierly: | She never, no never, |
All: | no, never lets go of him! |
Dr. Brierly: | When once I get hold of a patient who'll pay And who likes me to visit him three times a day, Or a wealthy dyspeptic in need of my care, Or a liver that's owned by a millionaire — Now matter how much or how little I know of him, Take it for granted I never let go of him! |
Lady Virginia: | Never oh, never, |
Sir Lewis: | He never, no never, |
All: | no, never lets go of him! |
Lady Virginia: | When once I get hold of an artist in dress, Who can make me look twenty or possibly less, Or a hairdresser skilled in the tricks of his trade, Who produces the newest Parisian shade-- Now matter how much or how little I know of him, Take it for granted I never let go of him! |
Sir Lewis: | Never oh, never, |
Dr. Brierly: | She never, no never, |
All: | no, never lets go of him! |
