[Rosa:] I know that you men are deceivers,
us poor girls you lure and betray,
of snares for our love you are weavers,
you think breaking hearts only play.
[Marquis:] That's true,
but I'm not like the rest, dear,
I could not deceive if I tried,
Rovers are a race I detest, dear,
in me you may trust and confide,
[Rosa:] You're a dangerous man I know,
[Marquis:] Something tells me I must go.
[Rosa spoken:] No!

Come on over here!
Here's a seat, my dear,
come and join the party,
get a welcome hearty,
don't be bashful, dear,
you need have no fear,
welcome stranger there's no danger,
while you're over here.
[Marquis:] You'll find I don't mean any harm,
if 'round your waist I place my arm,
[Rosa:] That's just what I thought you'd do

Come on over here!
like to have you near,
come and join my party,
get a welcome hearty,
don't be bashful, dear,
you need have no fear,
gentle stranger I'm in danger
while you're over here!
