No. 21 - Duet - Hughie and Timothy - "You come and stay with me"
| Hughie: | If you'll come down to my place, To stay at my country house, Each day it's my habit To pot at a rabbit, And then we can go for grouse! |
| Timothy: | You'd best come down to my place, I haven't been grousing much-- But my rabbits are dears, Two lovely lop-ears, You can shoot them both in the hutch! |
| If you come and stay with me, Come for a week or two! |
|
| Hughie: | You're awfully kind, I really don't mind, Just now I've nothing to do! |
| Timothy: | We're ten miles off the trains, And fifty from the sea. Next year we're going to lay our drains — |
| Hughie: | No, you come and stay with me! |
| Hughie: | We'll have a dance at my place, I think you can have a bed; You never will know me, I'm doing Salome, And then you can play the head! |
| Timothy: | Suppose you come to my place, And go to the Curate's tea; You will hear me recite "Kissing Curfew's Cup Night," And we two will sing a glee! |
| Hughie: | If you come and stay with me, Come for a week or two! |
| Timothy: | You're awfully kind, I really don't mind, Just now I've nothing to do! |
| Hughie: | I've concerts ev'ry night, A ball from ten to three, And then wind up with a pillow fight — |
| Timothy: | No, you come and stay with me! |
| Timothy: | You ought to come to my place, And you will have fun enough — I've got a good tip, let's Have Aunt and the triplets, So join us at blind man's buff! |
| Hughie: | I wish you'd come to my place, And call on Miss Heviswelle — We will go to her place, For she knows you by face, But she wants to know you well! |
| Timothy: | If you come and stay with me, Come for a week or two! |
| Hughie: | You're awfully kind, I really don't mind, Just now I've nothing to do! |
| Timothy: | Our girls are merry folks, They laugh the whole day through; They'd even giggle at all your jokes — |
| Hughie: | Then I'll come and stay with you! |
