No. 8 - Quartet - Lady Violet, Jo, Guy and Ronald -
"Our Marriage Lines."
| Lady Violet: | Our marriage lines! our marriage lines! The magic in those simple signs Can make our life a heaven. |
| All: | Can make our life a heaven! |
| Jo: | How dear to bridegroom and to bride That copy duly certified, That cost but two-and-seven, |
| All: | That cost but two-and-seven! |
| Jo & Guy: | We're married now, though not a vow We said in stately minster. |
| Lady Violet & Ronald: | And you're/I'm no more a bachelor, And I'm/you're no more a spinster! |
| Jo & Guy: | Ding, Dong, Ding, Dong, Ding, Dong, Ding, Dong! |
| Lady Violet & Ronald: | Ding, Dong, Ding, Dong, Ding, Dong, Ding, Dong! |
| All: | Ding, Dong, Ding, Dong, Ding, Dong, Ding, Dong! |
| Guy: | Ding! |
| Ronald: | Dong! |
| Guy: | Ding! |
| Ladies: | Oh, marriage lines, oh! marriage lines, What fond romance around you twines! We would not give for Afric's mines Our marriage lines, our marriage lines! We treasure them in rapture fond, And scorn to change that written bond, |
| All: | For all the bonds of steel "combines" Our marriage, marriage lines! |
| Ronald: | That Registrar, that registrar Has broken ev'ry hateful bar That kept our hearts asunder, |
| All: | That kept our hearts asunder! |
| Guy: | Some words he said, some fees he took, He made some entries in a book, And worked the happy wonder — |
| All: | And worked the happy wonder! |
| Jo & Guy: | No sort of strain can break the chain The mild official forges! |
| Lady Violet & Ronald: | We're just as glad As if we'd had A wedding at St. Georges! |
| Jo & Guy: | Ding, Dong, Ding, Dong, Ding, Dong, Ding, Dong! |
| Lady Violet & Ronald: | Ding, Dong, Ding, Dong, Ding, Dong, Ding, Dong! |
| All: | Ding, Dong, Ding, Dong, Ding, Dong, Ding, Dong! |
| Guy: | Ding! |
| Ronald: | Dong! |
| Guy: | Ding! |
| Ladies: | Oh, Registrar! oh! registrar! You sit beneath a happy star; We honour more than King or Czar That Registrar, that Registrar. And when his term of office ends, We hope to see his grateful friends |
| All: | Present him with a motor car, That Regi-Registrar! |
