No. 25 - Duet - Hilda and de l'Orme
| de l'Orme: | Je vous adore, ev'ry day more, Oh! how I long for the day when you're mine! Ah! ma petite, you are so sweet, |
| Hilda: | It's plain that I've got my fish well on the line. |
| de l'Orme: | Then when I make you My wife, I will take you Over the sea to my lovely Paree. On all sides I'll show you, Why, all France shall know you. |
| Hilda: | France must come here if it wants to see me! |
| de l'Orme: | Viens à Paris, viens, ma cherie, |
| Hilda: | That's all very well, but just think of the sea, |
| de l'Orme: | Eh bien, c'est ma patrie, |
| Hilda: | I dare-say that may be, but |
| Both: | I'll take good care that you stay here with me! |
| de l'Orme: | Endless, caresses, Hats and new dresses, All that I can I will give you, my dear; Dancing and dining, Cheques all day signing, |
| Hilda: | Don't you think you could do that over here? |
| de l'Orme: | London is rather Too near to your father, So come to Paris, it is just paradise. |
| Hilda: | All so inviting, But much too exciting, Don't you think Kensington sounds quite as nice? |
| de l'Orme: | Viens à Paris, Viens, ma cherie, |
| Hilda: | That's all very well, but just think of the sea, |
| de l'Orme: | Eh bien, c'est ma patrie, I dare-say that may be, but |
| Both: | I'll take good care that you stay here with me! |
