No. 29 (No. 20a) - Quartette - What will the Marquis do?
Fairfax: | When he finds that his dear little love-bird's gone, Oh, what will the Marquis do? Will he fly into a rage, Or fill an empty cage With another little bird or two? |
Cunningham: | He'll vow that the ceremony must go on With some little girl or other And I fancy he'll admit That he doesn't mind a bit; For one of them is very like another! For one of them is very like another! |
All: | Oh, what will he do and what will he say? Will his language be improper in a Japanesey way? He may do what he likes, he may say what he thinks, But we'll pop a little stopper on his jolly jolly jinks! He may do what he likes, he may say what he thinks, But we'll pop a little stopper on his jolly jolly jinks! He may do what he likes, he may say what he thinks, But we'll pop a little stopper on his jolly jolly jinks! |
Mimosa: | When he finds that his dear little bride has fled, Oh, what will the Marquis do? If he isn't too upset He'll marry Juliette, And adore her for a month or two! |
Wun-Hi: | Me think that he breakee-breakee Wun-Hi's head Some bad lucky day or other! If no beatee me with stick Then he givee me a kick But one of them is welly like another! But one of them is welly like another! |
All: | Oh, what will he do and what will he say? Will his language be improper in a Japanesey way? He may do what he likes, he may say what he thinks, But we'll pop a little stopper on his jolly jolly jinks! |
Men: | He may do what he likes,... |
Mimosa: | Oh, what will he do and what will he say? |
All: | ...he may say what he thinks, But we'll pop a little stopper on his jolly jolly jinks! |
