No. 22 - Duet - Stephanie and Laski, with Chorus - "Change Partners."
| Laski: | If we marry ever as I trust, |
| Stephanie: | You're so very clever that we must. |
| Laski: | Say you will love me still, Never flirt with any other! |
| Stephanie: | If a very pretty man I see, |
| Laski: | It would be a pity that should be. |
| Stephanie: | Then my dear, do not fear! I'll regard him as a brother! |
| Chorus: | She'll regard him as a brother! |
| Both: | Life's a dance, let me (so you) take one! Men advance, why not (must you) take one? What can hurt if I/you flirt When I'm true still to you? |
| Chorus: | Change partners, change partners, Life is but a ball; You can reach a hand to each, You can throw a smile to all! Change partners, change partners, Till the ball is past, But you/I have had the first dance, And he/she shall have the last! And he/she shall have the last! |
| Stephanie: | When we're on our married honeymoon, |
| Laski: | That trip will be carried out quite soon. |
| Stephanie: | You must mind I don't find You have seen a girl and kiss'd her! |
| Laski: | If of any little girl I'm fond, |
| Stephanie: | Is your love a brittle worthless bond! |
| Laski: | Then my sweet, I entreat You'll regard her as a sister! |
| Chorus: | Please regard her as a sister! |
| Both: | Life's a dance, so you (let me) take one! Girls advance, must you (why not) take one? What can hurt if you/I flirt When I'm true still to you? |
| Chorus: | Change partners, change partners, Life is but a ball; You can reach a hand to each, You can blow a kiss to all! Change partners, change partners, Till the ball is past, But you/I have had the first dance, And he/she shall have the last! And he/she shall have the last! |
