 KARAOKE File [21 KB, 2' 51"] |
| Counsel. |
| May it please you, my lud! Gentlemen of the Jury! With a sense of deep emotion, I approach this painful case; For I never had a notion That a man could be so base, Or deceive a girl confiding, Vows etcetera, deriding |
Plaintiff falls sobbing on Counsel's breast and remains there. |
| Chorus. |
| He deceived a girl confiding, Vows, etcetera, deriding. |
| Counsel. |
| See my interesting client, Victim of a heartless wile! See the traitor, all defiant, Wear a supercilious smile! Sweetly smiled my client on him, Coyly woo'd and gently won him. |
| Chorus. |
Sweetly smiled his client on him, |
| Counsel. (with increased energy) | |||
| Swiftly fled each honeyed hour Spent with this unmanly male Camberwell became a bow'r, Peckham, an Arcadian vale, Breathing concentrated otto! An existence á la Watteau. |
|
||
| Chorus. | |||
| Bless us, concentrated otto! An existence á la Watteau. |
|||
| Counsel. | |||
| Picture, then, my client naming, And insisting on the day: Picture him excuses framing - Going from her far away; Doubly criminal to do so, For the maid had bought her trousseau! |
|||

| Ah me! | Cheer up! | Cheer up! | Cheer up, cheer up, We love you! |
