04_I Shall Scream. Oliver.

Seq - Dr. J.Pitt-Payne. Kar - Bunty Pritchard Jones. Sept 2000.

[Mr. Bumble puts down his teacup and kisses Widow Corney]
[Cue: Widow Corney: "Mr. Bumble, I shall scream!"]

[Mr. Bumble]
No you wouldn't. Heigh~ho,

if I wanted something special,
then you couldn't say "No",

did I nearly catch you smiling?
Yes I did and it's beguiling.

If your hand is close I'll press it.
Yes you like it, come confess it!
Yes you do!

[Widow Corney]
No I don't.
[Mr. Bumble]Yes you do!

[Widow Corney]
I shall scream! I shall scream!
'Til they hasten to my rescue I shall scream!

[Mr. Bumble]
since there's nobody that's near us,
who could see us or could hear us?

If I ask you, can I kiss you,
say what will my pretty miss do?
[Widow Corney]I shall scream, scream, scream!

[Mr. Bumble]If I pinch you one pinch
from your shy protective shell, can I un~inch you one inch?

Will my blithesome, buxom beauty,
let her suitor do his duty?

Tho' his lap ain't very large, dear,
sit upon it, there's no charge dear.
Will you sit?

[Widow Corney]
No I shan't!

[Mr. Bumble]Will you sit?[she sits upon his lap]

[Widow Corney]
I shall scream! I shall scream!
for the safety of my virtue I shall scream.

Tho' your knee is rather cosy,
see my cheeks are getting rosy,

you would have me in your pow'r,
if I stayed here for an hour.

[Mr. Bumble, voice muffled by widow's ample bosom]I shall scream, scream, scream!

[Widow Corney]
You're a naughty, bad man.
If you think I can't be proper, prim and haughty, I can,

and you'll pardon if I mention,
you must state your true intention.

[Mr. Bumble]Is there not another room here?
[Widow Corney]"No"(but nods assent)

[Mr. Bumble]If there were a bride and groom here,
would there be?

[Widow Corney]Well there might.
[Mr. Bumble]We shall see.

[Widow Corney]
I shall scream! I shall scream!

At the thought of what you're thinking
I shall scream.

[Mr. Bumble]
You will wonder where the scream went,
when we come to an agreement,

as my lovey dove is chubby
could she love a chubby hubby?

[Widow Corney]I shall scream, Mr. Bumble.

I shall scream. Bumble Wumble,
I shall scream, scream,[Mr. Bumble whistles invitingly]
[Widow Corney]Scream![she sits in his lap and they embrace]
