No. 5 - Duet - Nora and Clive
| Clive: | Oh, my dearest, ere I go, There's one thing I want to know, When, oh when will you agree to... |
| Nora: | Ask Papa! |
| Both: | Ask Papa! |
| Nora: | He's the person to decide, So it cannot be denied That the quickest way will be to... |
| Clive: | Ask Papa! |
| Both: | Ask Papa! |
| Clive: | Though I'm leaving you at present, Yet the time so quickly flies, Tell me, when shall I be trusted with so valuable a prize? |
| Nora: | If you really want to know that, You will do as I advise, Ask Papa! |
| Both: | Ask Papa! We will ask Papa the question, I'm sure that he will know; He may give us a suggestion Of what is comme il faut. So I really think, don't you? That is what we'd better do, |
| Nora: | Ask Papa! |
| Clive: | Ask Papa! |
| Both: | Ask Papa! |
| Clive: | I'm not worthy, I'm afraid, Of a charming little maid, Who behaves so very sweetly, |
| Nora: | Ask Papa! |
| Both: | Ask Papa! |
| Nora: | I am very, very young, And shall have to hold my tongue Till you satisfy completely |
| Clive: | Your Papa! |
| Both: | My/Your Papa! |
| Clive: | You been used to ev'ry comfort, Can you do with rather less? Do you think I shall allow you quite sufficient for your dress? And is married life a failure, Or an out and out success? |
| Nora: | Ask Papa! |
| Both: | Ask Papa! We will ask Papa the question, I'm sure that he will know; He may give us a suggestion Of what is comme il faut. So I really think, don't you? That is what we'd better do, Ask Papa! |
| Clive: | Ask Papa! |
| Both: | Ask Papa! |
