No. 6 - Quartet - "Hide-and-Seek"
| Hana: | Where, I wonder, can they be? Hush, or they will hear us! |
| Miyo: | Not a sign of them I see, They are nowhere near us! |
| Makei: | Here they come! I told you so! They don't guess we're lying low! |
| Fujiwara: | Oh, for goodness sake keep quiet Till I give the word to go! |
| Hana: | Listen! What was that I heard? |
| Fujiwara: | Intercept them! Quick's the word! |
| Ladies: | Hither, thither, run for shelter! Hurry, hurry, helter-skelter! |
| Men: | Pretty maidens, not so fast! We have captured you at last! |
| All: | We/You were really too confiding, |
| Men: | We were seeking, |
| Ladies: | We were hiding, |
| All: | So you/we captured us/you at last! Love's a game of hide-and-seek Play'd by maid and man, Woman flies And, mocking, cries, "Catch me if you can!" Quickly caught she's sure to be, Let it be confess'd; When the man is really 'He' Woman seldom runs her best! |
| Miyo: | Let me go at once, I say! Do as you are told, sir; |
| Hana: | Kindly leave us now, I pray; Please release your hold, sir! |
| Makei: | If we left you all alone You would quickly change your tone! |
| Fujiwara: | I'm afraid that we're unwelcome If the truth were only known. |
| Miyo: | We've put up with you too long! |
| Makei: | Pardon me, that's where you're wrong! |
| Ladies: | Hither, thither, run for shelter! Hurry, hurry, helter-skelter! |
| Men: | Pretty maidens, not so fast! We have captured you at last! |
| All: | We/You were really too confiding, |
| Men: | We were seeking, |
| Ladies: | We were hiding, |

Quickly caught she's sure to be, Let it be confess'd; When the man is really 'He' Woman seldom runs her best!
