No. 4 - Duet - Alice and Lionel - "The Land of Make-Believe."
| Alice: | When we were children, I and you, Of course you recollect. |
| Lionel: | Of course I recollect. |
| Alice: | We played about the whole day through, And talked of things we meant to do If nurse did not object. |
| Lionel: | The course of Love ran smooth, you see, No troubles came to try it, But I was shy as shy could be, I fancy you proposed to me, Ah yes! you can't deny it. |
| Alice: | When you and I |
| Lionel: | Were girl and boy |
| Alice: | Those golden days |
| Lionel: | We did enjoy. |
| Alice: | Although I fear the scheme we planned We never could achieve. |
| Both: | The world was full of sunshine then When I/you was/were nine and you/I were/was ten. We lived within a happy land, The land of Make Believe. |
| Alice: | I said that I would be your bride Ere many days were gone. |
| Lionel: | Ere many days were gone. |
| Alice: | And I was fully satisfied Nor wondered how we should provide Enough to live upon. |
| Lionel: | For sober facts we didn't care, We thought ourselves too clever. I fancy that we meant to share A furnished castle in the air, And pay no rent whatever. |
| Alice: | When you and I |
| Lionel: | Were girl and boy |
| Alice: | Those golden days |
| Lionel: | We did enjoy. |
| Alice: | Although I fear the scheme we planned We never could achieve. |
| Both: | The world was full of sunshine then When I/you was/were nine and you/I were/was ten. We lived within a happy land, The land of Make Believe. The land of Make Believe, The land of Make Believe. |
