No. 4 - Sextet - "The Yacht"
| Girls: | There's a yacht in the harbour today, Today, they say, |
| Men: | I'm not inclined to doubt it, girls! In fact I've heard about it, girls! |
| Girls: | We wonder extremely what she, What she may be. |
| Men: | We'll find it out to order, girls, When once we go aboard her, girls! |
| Girls: | The captain will land with his crew, His crew in blue. |
| Contraltos: | At first we think They'll have a drink And then to buy a cigar go, |
| Sopranos: | We'll sell all the jolly Jack Tars, Jack Tars cigars! |
| Men: | They'll spend their pay In half a day! And we'll look into their cargo! |
| All: | A yacht, ahoy! A yacht, a yacht, Full of jolly young men and pretty ladies, Come from Cadiz, bound for Hades, Anywhere where it's fine and hot! A yacht, a yacht, it's the sort of a lot That gives you joy Never failing When you're sailing aboard of a yacht, Ahoy! |
| Girls: | Oh the crew will be pretty young chaps, Young chaps, perhaps, |
| Men: | I tell you as a duty, girls! I rather doubt their beauty, girls! |
| Girls: | They'll treat us to wine when they come, Or some old rum. |
| Men: | It hasn't paid the custom, girls, I think I wouldn't trust 'em, girls! |
| Girls: | They'll take us to bull-fight and ball, To ball and all. |
| Contraltos: | They'll sing and dance And take a chance Of flirting, too, if you let them! |
| Sopranos: | They'll offer us ribbons and things, Nice things, like rings! [Men:] Young men on yachts Will promise lots, But don't you wish you may get them! |
| All: | A yacht, ahoy! A yacht, a yacht, Full of jolly young men and pretty ladies, Come from Cadiz, bound for Hades, Anywhere where it's fine and hot! A yacht, a yacht, it's the sort of a lot That gives you joy Never failing When you're sailing aboard of a yacht, Ahoy! |
