No. 25 - Extra Sextet - "Take Your Pretty Partner."
| Marjorie: | When rushing round the whirl Of parties in Society, To flirt with any girl Is not an impropriety. |
| Grasmere: | You smile at her, she laughs at you, You make a little joke or two; It may be old, it may be new, There's nothing like variety. |
| Nan: | But when you're going to a ball, There's one you think of first of all. |
| Rajah: | And you feel that the world
has become more gay, When your little pet partner comes your way! |
| Men: | Take your pretty partner at the ball, |
| Girls: | Take your partner! |
| Men: | Take your pretty partner at the ball. |
| Girls: | Take your partner! |
| All: | She who dances best of all, She whose charms will never pall, Is your own pet partner for the ball. |
| Marjorie: | Perhaps her chaperone May show some contrariety, As frequently is known In very good Society! |
| Nan: | You take the chaperone to sup, And charitably keep it up, With iced champagne and claret cup, There's nothing like variety! |
| Sophie: | Your partner longs for cool and calm, You find them both behind a palm. |
| Rajah: | And you're utterly lost for an hour or two, With your little pet partner there with you! |
| Men: | Kiss your pretty partner at the ball. |
| Girls: | Kiss your partner! |
| Men: | Kiss your pretty partner at the ball. |
| Girls: | Kiss your partner! |
| All: | Then upon your knees you fall, Vow you love her best of all, And you've won your partner at the ball. |
| Girls: | Who's your pretty partner at the ball? |
| Men: | You're my partner! |
| Girls: | Who's your pretty partner at the ball? |
| Men: | You're my partner! |
| All: | I should love to have the chance, All through life with you to dance, For I like my partner at the ball. |
