No. 6: It does perplex, annoy, and vex
Sung by Rosa, Hebblethwaite, Mrs. Mac Motherly, Tare, and Steward
| Hebble.: | ||
| It does perplex, Annoy and vex |
||
| Forgive the observation, | ||
| When just too late In breathless state, |
||
| You see with irritation, | ||
| The starting train, While you remain |
||
| In dreadful perturbation, | ||
| To spend the night, Till morning light, |
||
| At some unheard of station, | ||
| To spend the night Till morning light, |
||
| In some unheard of station! | ||
| It does perplex, Annoy, and vex, annoy, and vex! It does perplex! Annoy, and vex! |
||
| All: | |
| It does, it does, it does! It does perplex, Annoy, and vex, Forgive, forgive the observation, Just too late, In breathless state, You see with irritation |
|
| Hebble. and Rosa: | |
| The starting train, While you remain In dreadful pertubation To spend the night Till morning light, At some unheard of station, |
|
| All: | |
| It does perplex, Annoy and vex, Forgive the observation, To spend the night Till morning light, At some unheard of station! |
|
| Rosa: | ||
| Your room is old, And damp, and cold, |
||
| Unworthy habitation, | ||
| The spider crawls About the walls |
||
| And fills you with vexation, | ||
Had I but known |
||
| You'll judge by this narration, | ||
| To make it good, This morning would |
||
| Have been my occupation. | ||
| To spend the night Till morning light, |
||
| In some unheard of station! | ||
| It does perplex, Annoy, and vex, annoy, and vex! It does perplex! Annoy, and vex! |
||
| All: | |
| It does, it does, it does! It does perplex, Annoy, and vex, Forgive, forgive the observation, Just too late, In breathless state, You see with irritation |
|
| Hebble. and Rosa: | |
| The starting train, While you remain In dreadful pertubation To spend the night Till morning light, At some unheard of station, |
|
| All: | |
| It does perplex, Annoy and vex, Forgive the observation, To spend the night Till morning light, At some unheard of station! |

(Tare is standing apart in a great rage.)
