- Oh, what will you do to him, do you think?
- For colder than a stone is he!
- I really must admit
- He wouldn't do a bit
- For a loving little girl like me!
- If flagons at his call should brim, do you think,
- With a liquor of a rare degree,
- Oh, will it make him warm
- And bring him into form?
- It has always that effect on me!
- It has always that effect on me!
- Oh, what — what — what will be then end of it?
- The questions that arise are three:
- There's what I shall do to him,
- And what he will do to her,
- And what both of them will do to me!
- What — what — what will be then end of it?
- The questions that arise are three:
- There's what I shall do to him,
- And what he will do to her,
- And what both of them will do to me!
- Oh, what will they do to you, do you think,
- When your pretty little trick they see?
- In sorrow I confess
- Out beautiful princess
- Will be very much annoyed with me!
- If they dip you into melted glue, do you think
- That uncomfortable you will be?
- If that's their little plan
- I shall stick to all I can
- And my friends are sure to stick to me!
- And my friends are sure to stick to me!
- Oh, what — what — what will be then end of it?
- The questions that arise are three:
- There's what I shall do to him,
- And what he will do to her,
- And what both of them will do to me!
- What — what — what will be then end of it?
- The questions that arise are three:
- There's what I shall do to him,
- And what he will do to her,
- And what both of them will do to me!
(Duet over, Iris sits down. Heliodorus dodges behind and about the parapets.)
