Dora: | Now I have married you, Sir! |
Nancy: | Now I have married you, Madam! |
Dora: | We'll be a pair such as were ne'er Heard of since Eve and her Adam. |
Nancy: | Just as oases occur, |
Dora: | Out in the wilderness arid, |
Nancy: | We shall display, what is the way, How to be happy though married. I will come home to tea, |
Dora: | I'll make the tea for you, |
Nancy: | I may be late, seven or eight, |
Dora: | I will sit up till half past two, |
Kate: | If I return at three — |
Nancy: | Flushed with unruly mirth, |
Dora: | Never you fear, I'll laugh with you dear, |
Both: | The happiest pair on earth. |
Dora: | If you should look at a maid, |
Nancy: | If I have carelessly kiss'd her, |
Dora: | I am not hard, I can regard Any such girl as a sister! |
Nancy: | I too shall not be dismay'd, |
Kate: | Though at a man you may wink so, |
Dora: | You're very kind, if you don't mind How to be happy, I think so. |
Nancy: | I'll never beat my wife — |
Dora: | I'll never scold my boy! |
Nancy: | If other chaps like her, perhaps, That will not spoil her husband's joy. |
Dora: | So we will pass our life |
Nancy: | Flirting for all we're worth, |
Dora: | Merry at heart and always apart, |
Both: | The happiest pair on earth. The happiest pair, the happiest pair, Ah! Ah! Ah! The happiest pair, The happiest pair on earth. |
