No. 4 - Sextette - Mr. and Mrs. Pineapple and Bridesmaids
Marie Pineapple: | Three months ago we stepp'd aboard a great big ocean ship, |
Mr. Pineapple: | And sail'd away to China on a little pleasure trip; |
Marie: | The sailors knew I was a bride, which shows how cute they are, |
Pineapple: | I felt that I could brain them when they said "He's her papa." |
Marie: | And ev'ry day upon the deck I'd promenading go, |
Pineapple: | Whilst I was in my cabin with the steward down below. |
Marie: | It was a most delightful time, which passed away too soon, |
Pineapple: | But this is but the prelude to a Chinese Honeymoon. |
All: | A Chinese Honeymoon. |
Pineapple: | And I am the bridegroom, |
Marie: | I am the bride, |
Bridesmaids: | And we are the maids who saw them tied, |
Pineapple: | I said "I will," |
Marie: | I took the quill And felt that I should swoon, |
Pineapple: | Yes, I am the man who bought the ring |
Marie: | And I am the blushing little thing Who became his wife |
Pineapple: | And started life |
All: | With a Chinese Honeymoon. |
Marie: | And now at last in China we have landed safe and sound |
Pineapple: | Where we will spend a month or two in trotting all around; |
Marie: | And here in fair Ylang Ylang we mean to spend a week |
Pineapple: | Where all the ladies, I am told, Are gloriously unique. |
Marie: | You promised you would never look at anyone but me. |
Pineapple: | Nor will I, dear, for I detest the almond eyed Chinee. |
Marie: | Like turtle doves the whole day long we'll bill, and coo, and spoon, |
Pineapple: | And so enjoy the raptures of a Chinese Honeymoon. |
All: | A Chinese Honeymoon. |
Pineapple: | And I am the bridegroom, |
Marie: | I am the bride, |
Bridesmaids: | And we are the maids who saw them tied, |
Pineapple: | I said "I will," |
Marie: | I took the quill And felt that I should swoon, |
Pineapple: | Yes, I am the man who bought the ring |
Marie: | And I am the blushing little thing Who became his wife |
Pineapple: | And started life |
All: | With a Chinese Honeymoon. |
