No. 20 - Duet - Anita and Nix - "The Merry Widow."
| Anita: | If you're the dear departed — |
| Nix: | And you're the one bereft — |
| Both: | Once more we'll take our places For wedding steeple-chases, |
| Anita: | And when the race is started, This time we won't get left, |
| Both: | If you're/I'm the dear departed, And I'm/you're the one bereft, If you're/I'm the dear departed, And I'm/you're the one bereft! Let us go and marry, For we need not wait; If we want to tarry We shall be too late! No one can forbid, oh! Spread the wedding feast — I'm the merry widow, You're the gay deceased! |
| Anita: | If I'm the lorn and lonely — |
| Nix: | And I'm the sad remains — |
| Anita: | My love's been growing stronger For seven years and longer! |
| Nix: | A passion met with only In novels of Hall Caine's. |
| Both: | If I'm/you're the lorn and lonely, And you're/I'm the sad remains, If I'm/you're the lorn and lonely, And you're/I'm the sad remains! Oh! it will be heaven, Quite the very best, Kissing you with seven Years of interest! We'll do all we did, oh! Twice as well at least — I'm the merry widow, You're the gay deceased! |
