No. 19 - Duet - Princess and Genie - "Oh, Pan!"
Lyrics by W. H. Risque
Princess: | I want to tell something to someone, And there's no one about that I know, So I think, Mister Pan, It might be a good plan If I told it to you. |
Genie: | Here's a go! |
Princess: | You're only a bust and a dumb one, But you look so content with your lot, And your smile is so kind And your style so refin'd I'll pretend you're alive. |
Genie: | I'll pretend that I'm not. |
Princess: | Oh, Pan! Dear Pan! Can't you guess what I'd say, can't you think, Your eye looks sly I declare that was almost a wink. You know? Whisper low, |
Genie: | You're in love, |
Princess: | Yes, that's so, I'm in love, he's a charming young man. He's in love with me too, I'm so happy, aren't you, dear Pan. |
Princess: | You're dying to ask me a question, You want to know who it may be, Well, I'll tell you, dear Pan, He's a charming young man, |
Genie: | I do hope she's referring to me! |
Princess: | Of his name you won't get a suggestion, You may beg on your knees, if you please, But I won't even trust And inanimate bust. |
Genie: | And she knows that a bust Can't go down on its knees. |
Princess: | Oh, Pan! Dear Pan! Let's suppose, just suppose you were he. My face I'd place just as closely to yours as should be, Then you know, whisper low, |
Genie: | Vows of love? |
Princess: | Yes, that's so, Vows of love between maiden and man. Just one kiss, perhaps two, Don't you wish it was you, poor Pan. |
