No. 8 - Duet - Marie and Floot - When the ladies have their way.
| Marie: | Man's no longer Lord of all
Creation as he used to be— Mind you've got the housework done as soon as I get home to tea! |
|
| Floot: | In the future Man as Man is absolutely dead and gone, Woman's going to wear the breeks when Man has sew'd the buttons on! |
|
| Both: | Ain't it wonderful to see what things are coming to? | |
| Marie: | I shall go and watch a game of football like you used to do. | |
| Floot: | I shall have to mind the kids, and cook the food all day; But you must not swear If I've curried Willie's hair, When you ladies have your own sweet way! |
|
| Marie: | Lady-magistrates, I think,
will shortly take the place of men— Just you mind what you're about or you'll get into trouble then! |
|
| Floot: | Off to Parkhurst you'll be sent
before you know the why or how— Well, it was called Parkhurst— I suppose they'll call it Pankhurst now! |
|
| Both: | Ain't it wonderful to see what things are coming to? | |
| Marie: | It's time you had a lady magistrate. | |
| Floot: | It's "sunshine/sun I'll have to do! | |
| Marie: | For six weeks without the option, she'll put you away! | |
| Floot: | Well, if she's my wife She will put me in for life When you ladies have your own sweet way! |
|
| Marie: | If you men behave yourselves,
perhaps we'll take you out to dine; You shall have the latest food and all the very newest wine! |
|
| Floot: | Then from Paris you must get me
half-a-dozen silk dress-suits, Not to mention shot silk socks and open-worky patent boots! |
|
| Both: | Ain't it wonderful to see what things are coming to? | |
| Marie: | I shall then invite you out to supper like the Johnnies do! | |
| Floot: | I shall hope to get a necklace or a diamond spray, | |
| A fur-lined hat, And a silver-plated flat When you ladies have your own sweet way! |
