No. 21 - Duet - Delia and Lord Bicester - The Argentine.
| Lord Bicester: | Wouldn't it be jolly If we took a little holi- Day away from here? Would you come with me, dear? Far away to sunny Mandalay, To stray; or say, Paraguay? [Delia:] Both of us together, In a land of summer weather, With a sky of blue To smile on me and you! We might go to Monte Video, You know, or Valparaiso! |
| Both: | That is, you see, if you loved me! |
| Lord Bicester: | Then we might go To San Francisco, |
| Delia: | Or some other lazy-land, Some dreamland, some hazy-land, |
| Lord Bicester: | If my time were your time, |
| Delia: | And your time were mine, |
| Both: | Why then, we might sail away To the Argentine! |
| Delia: | Oh! to find a porter! And desert the bricks and mortar, For a southern clime Where one forgets the time! We might look for some secluded nook Where Cook and Son would not book! |
| Lord Bicester: | We might find some Chilian Or some beautiful Brazilian Spot beside the sea! (Brazil appeals to me!) Bear in mind that's where you go to find The Nuts of every kind! |
| Both: | That is, you see, if you loved me! |
| Lord Bicester: | Then we might do A new step for two, |
| Delia: | We might find some lazy dance, A slow dance, a mazy dance, |
| Lord Bicester: | If my step suits your step, |
| Delia: | And your step suits mine, |
| Both: | We might do the Tango Dance Of the Argentine! |
