Chorus: | Oh, we know what you mean. |
Hake: | Well, what's the proper thing to do? Fancy dress? eh? |
Chorus: | You stick to us, we'll pull you through. See you don't stray. |
Hake: | Good girls! that's right, We'll have some fun tonight; All the plans I leave to you, Paint the town Venetian blue; I'll pay my way — I mean to see the show. When the Water Fête begins, I mean to — You know! |
