No. 7 - Concerted Number - "Please Don't Go."
Lyrics by Percy Greenbank
| Princess: | How rashly you behave; No doubt it's very brave, But do take care, don't venture there Inside the gloomy cave! |
| Ebenezer: | Within it I suppose No sunlight ever glows, So dark 'twill be you will not see An inch before your nose. |
| Cadi: | Perhaps your footing you will miss, And tumble down some deep abyss, Far underground, right out of sound, Where dragons crawl and serpents hiss. |
| Tippin: | And wide awake you'll have to keep Lest bogies round the corner peep, Or horrid things with flapping wings Upon your shoulders leap. |
| All: | Please don't go, Please don't go. |
| Princess: | Oh! Lally, don't go into the cave
I implore you! What may occur you never know, (O foolish Lally!) Oh! Lally, just think of all the dangers before you, Take my advice, O Lally, Lally don't go! |
| All: | Oh! Lally, don't go into the cave
we implore you! What may occur you never know, (O foolish Lally!) Oh! Lally, just think of all the dangers before you, Take our advice, O Lally, Lally don't go! |
| Maid: | Then monsieur must beware, Lest, when he gets in there, He faints away; some caves, they say, Are full of poisoned air. |
| Ratz: | Or else with dreadful din The roof may tumble in, And squash you so, quite flat, you know, Just like a pancake thin. |
| Spirit: | Oh, Lally, do not listen, pray, To what these foolish mortals say, Before you lies the long'd-for prize, Come, follow where I point the way. |
| Lally: | Unpleasant things you may suggest To put my courage to the test, But nothing you can say or do Will turn me from my quest! |
| Others: | Please don't go, Please don't go. |
| Lally: | But Lally intends to go,
it's useless to worry, To your requests I answer "No!" (I'm reckless Lally!) For Lally to find the lamp is in such a hurry, Don't try to hinder Lally, Lally will go! |
| Others: | Oh! Lally, don't go into the cave
we implore you! What may occur you never know, (O foolish Lally!) Oh! Lally, just think of all the dangers before you, Take our advice, O Lally, Lally don't go! |
