Duet - 10 - (Dora and Nancy) - The Toreador - 1901

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 16 Oct 2001

[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 a wilderness arid,
[Nancy] We shall display,
what is the way,
[Dora] How to be happy though married.

[Nancy] 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,
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
You mean to try it? Though married.

[Nancy] I'll never beat my wife.
[Dora] I'll never scold my boy!
[Nancy] If other chaps like her, perhaps,
[Nancy] 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,
The happiest pair on earth.
[All] The happiest pair,
The happiest pair,
Ah! Ah! Ah!
The happiest pair,
the happiest pair
on earth.
