| No. 5 — DUET (LADY BUSHEY & MR. JERICHO ) |
 |
| Lady Bushey. | ||
| There came to maiden innocence, | ||
| At Barton on the Humber, | ||
| Two suitors who for reference | ||
| As One and Two I'll number. | ||
| And Number One could softly woo | ||
| Till life seem'd milk and honey, | ||
| But dear papa owed Number Two | ||
| A large amount of money! | ||
| And so I married Number Two, | ||
| Though he a perfect guy was, | ||
| A veteran of Waterloo, a veteran of Waterloo, | ||
| And twice as old as I was, And twice as old as I was! |
||
| Jericho. | ||
| When Number Two bore off his bride | ||
| With wedding dress of white on, | ||
| At first I thought of suicide, | ||
| Then change of air at Brighton; | ||
| But all of the hopes of yesterday | ||
| Return with force provoking, | ||
| Now Number Two is tuck'd away | ||
| At Kensal Green or Woking; | ||
| So come and marry Number One | ||
| Whose honest heart your shrine is, | ||
| There seldom lives through rain and sun | ||
| A love as true as mine is. | ||
| Both. | ||
| How strange when parted lovers meet | ||
| In such a case as this is, | ||
| And oh, how weird and wildly sweet, And oh, how weird and wildly sweet |
||
| A middle aged kiss is, A middle aged kiss is! |
