No. 29 - Extra Duet - Millicent and Meebles
| Millicent: | Horatio, do you remember? |
| Meebles: | My dearest, how could I forget? |
| Millicent: | In Springtime we roamed through the meadows, |
| Meebles: | My boots got uncommonly wet! |
| Millicent: | The lambkins were frisking all round us, The birds carolled early and late. |
| Meebles: | The thingummys peeped from the what-nots, And the gay umpy-doodleum called to its mate! |
| Both: | O, that we two were Maying, As in the days of yore; |
| Millicent: | Roaming the dim, shady copses, |
| Meebles: | Dodging the gnats and the wopses. |
| Both: | Over the hills together, Happily we would stray, |
| Meebles: | ...we would stray. |
| Millicent: | While the lark was a-hovering over its nest, And the wind came a-whispering out of the west, |
| Meebles: | And I wished I'd been wearing a much thicker vest. |
| Both: | In the merry, merry, merry month of May! |
| Millicent: | And when the long day full of rapture |
| Meebles: | Was drawing at last to its close, |
| Millicent: | Then homeward we strolled in the twilight, |
| Meebles: | While cock-chafers buzzed round my nose. |
| Millicent: | All Nature was sinking to slumber, But naught of the hour did we reck, |
| Meebles: | A nanny-goat kissed me good evening, And an Alderney cow came and sobbed down my neck. |
| Both: | O, that we two were Maying, As in the days of yore; |
| Millicent: | Taking such long, lovely rambles, |
| Meebles: | Catching our toes in the brambles. |
| Both: | Over the hills together, Happily we would stray, |
| Meebles: | ...we would stray. |
| Millicent: | While the nightingale warbled a soft lullaby, And the stars one by one twinkled out in the sky. |
| Meebles: | And we sat on a gate where the paint wasn't dry. |
| Both: | In the merry, merry, merry month of May! In the merry, merry, merry month of May! |
