No. 19 - Duet - Elsa and Otto
Otto: | Won't you come and two-step, Little girl, with me? I can see that you step So delightfullee! Lightly as a feather Let us go together, Putting quite a polish on the parquetrie! I step first, then you step; So we both can see, When we've tried the two-step If our steps agree! |
Elsa: | Ah! music so entrancing Keeps my feet a-dancing to and fro! I yield unheeding to his pleading, Nor where it leads me would I know! |
Both: | Ah! love, you look entrancing When I see you dancing to and fro! |
Elsa: | I yield unheeding to his pleading, Nor where it leads me would I know! |
Otto: | Won't you come and two-step, Little girl, with me? I can see that you step So delightfullee! Lightly as a feather Let us go together, Putting quite a polish on the parquetrie! |
Otto: | Won't you try a new step, Little maid, with me? Now I know that you step So delightfullee! Hear me I beseech you, Only let me teach you, Then thro' life my partner you will always be. Won't you try this new step, And my partner be? Don't say No, but do step Off to Church with me! |
Elsa: | Ah! when you woo so sweetly, I am won completely to your side! And for my answer, dearest dancer, My hand to you I will confide! |
Both: | Ah! when you smile so sweetly, I am yours completely, little bride! |
Elsa: | And for my answer, dearest dancer, My hand to you I will confide! |
Otto: | Won't you try a new step, Little maid, with me? Now I know that you step So delightfullee! Hear me I beseech you, Only let me teach you, Then thro' life my partner you will always be. |
