No. 24 - Duet - Millicent and Diana - "Powder on your nose."
| Millicent: | I am feeling quite a wreck, |
| Diana: | Well you are a trifle torn! |
| Millicent: | All my hair is down my neck. |
| Diana: | That is how it's often worn! |
| Millicent: | Am I looking very old, Forty-five or even more? |
| Diana: | Well, if I had not been told, I should guess you forty-four! |
| Millicent: | Thank you, dear, you are kind! |
| Diana: | Never fear, don't you mind! Though you've had a nasty shake-up, You just want a bit of make-up! |
| Diana: | Just a little black round the eyes, |
| Millicent: | Just a little black round the eyes, |
| Diana: | Just a little red on the lips, |
| Millicent: | Just a little red on the lips, |
| Diana: | When that is done, |
| Millicent: | When that is done, |
| Diana: | You're like the sun. |
| Millicent: | You're like the sun. |
| Diana: | After a partial eclipse! |
| Millicent: | An eclipse quite visible at Greenwich. |
| Diana: | Oh! it will be such a surprise |
| Millicent: | Oh! it will be such a surprise |
| Diana: | When you are as fresh as a rose; |
| Millicent: | as a rose; |
| Diana: | Looking prettier and prouder |
| Millicent: | With a little touch of powder, |
| Both: | Just a tiny touch of powder on your nose! |
| Diana: | I am like a rag today; |
| Millicent: | Yes, you're rather weird and wild; |
| Diana: | And what will my lover say? |
| Millicent: | Better not inquire, my child! |
| Diana: | He will tell me I am still Just as blooming as a pink; |
| Millicent: | As a gentleman he will, But I know what he will thnk! |
| Diana: | Really, don't be a cat! |
| Millicent: | No, we won't speak of that! Have a rest, and when you wake up, You just need a bit of make-up! |
| Diana: | Just a little black round the eyes, |
| Millicent: | Just a little black round the eyes, |
| Diana: | Just a little red on the lips, |
| Millicent: | Just a little red on the lips, |
| Diana: | When that is done, |
| Millicent: | When that is done, |
| Diana: | You're like the sun |
| Millicent: | You're like the sun. |
| Diana: | After a partial eclipse! |
| Millicent: | an eclipse quite visible at Greenwich. |
| Diana: | Oh! it will be such a surprise |
| Millicent: | Oh! it will be such a surprise |
| Diana: | When you are as fresh as a rose; |
| Millicent: | as a rose; |
| Diana: | Looking prettier and prouder |
| Millicent: | With a little touch of powder |
| Both: | Just a tiny touch of powder on your nose! |
