No. 9: Duet (Yum-Yum & Nanki-Poo)
"Were you not to Ko-Ko plighted"
| Nanki-Poo. |
Were you not to Ko-Ko plighted,
I would say in tender tone,
"Loved one, let us be united —
Let us be each other's own!"
I would merge all rank and station,
Worldly sneers are nought to us,
And, to mark my admiration,
I would kiss you fondly thus — (Kisses her.) |
| Both. |
| I/He would kiss you/me fondly thus — (Kiss.) |
| Yum-Yum. |
But as I'm engaged to Ko-Ko,
To embrace you thus, con fuoco,
Would distinctly be no gioco,
And for yam I should get toco — |
|
Muriel Dickson & Charles Goulding, 1932

| Yum-Yum. |
Nanki-Poo. |
| |
Toco, |
| Toco, |
|
| |
toco, |
| toco, |
|
| |
toco, |
| toco, |
|
| |
toco, |
| toco, |
|
| toco! |
toco! |
| Nanki-Poo. |
So, In spite of all temptation,
Such a theme I'll not discuss,
And on no consideration
Will I kiss you fondly thus —
Will I kiss you fondly thus — (Kissing her.)
Let me make it clear to you,
This is what I'll never do!
This, oh, this, (kiss)
Oh, this, (kiss)
Oh, this, — (kiss)
This is what I'll never, never do!
|
| Yum-Yum. |
Nanki-Poo. |
This, oh, this —
Oh, this —
Oh, this — |
This, oh, this —
Oh, this —
Oh, this — |
| This, |
This is what I'll never do! |
| He'll never do! |
|
| |
I'll never do! |
| He'll never do! |
|
| |
Oh, this — |
| This is what he'll never, never do! |
This is what I'll never, never do! |
Exeunt in opposite directions.
