| No. 2 — DUET (WINIFRED & HORACE) |
 |
| WINIFRED. |
| |
My heart, my heart goes pit-a pat,... |
| |
|
O brave and gallant fellow; |
| |
For I have often sat... |
| |
|
Within your 'bus so yellow. |
| |
I always liked you so,... |
| |
|
Because the 'bus you well drove |
| |
When shopping I would go |
| |
|
To Marshall and to Snelgrove, |
| |
When shopping I would go |
| |
|
To Marshall and to Snelgrove! |
| |
And now you are my king,... |
| |
|
My captain, chief, commander, |
| |
Your praise I'll ever sing,... |
| |
|
Oh, Horace Alexander,
Oh, Horace Alexander. |
| WINIFRED |
HORACE |
| How sweetly through |
|
| the air, |
How sweetly through |
| Dispersing tales of |
the air,... |
| slander, |
Dispersing tales |
| There sound the praises fair... |
of slander,... |
| of Horace Alexander, |
Dispersing tales of slander, |
| of Horace Alexander |
Dispersing tales of slander, |
| There sound, there sound the praises fair |
There sound, there sound the praises fair |
| Of Horace Alexander!... |
Of Horace Alexander!... |
| HORACE. |
| |
Although my hopes were nill,... |
| |
|
And love's young dream was blighted, |
| |
I kept the horses still... |
| |
|
While you and ma alighted; |
| |
I watch'd you pay the fare,... |
| |
|
My love I might not show you, |
| |
Nor from the box-seat dare |
| |
|
A single kiss to blow you. |
| |
Nor from the box-seat dare |
| |
|
A single kiss to blow you,
A single kiss to blow you. |
| |
O Queen of woman kind... |
| |
|
In Britain, France or Flanders, |
| |
No heart more true you'll find... |
| |
|
Than Horace Alexander's,
Than Horace Alexander's. |
| WINIFRED. |
HORACE. |
| How little do |
|
| we heed |
How little do |
| The world's censorious |
we heed The |
| slander, |
The world's censo- |
| A happy man indeed... |
rious slander, How |
| Is Horace Alexander, |
little do we heed,... |
| is Horace Alexander, |
The world's censorious slander, |
| A happy, happy man indeed |
A happy, happy man indeed |
| Is Horace Alexander! |
Is Horace Alexander! |
