No. 27 - Supplementary Duet - Elsa and Otto with Chorus
| Otto: | Maiden who brings the beer, Won't you let me marry you, my dear? Tell me that you will be mine at length! If you can be married on the strength! |
| Elsa: | I don't think I will wed, I might like another man instead; But I'll tell you what I will do, Walk out with you — |
| Students: | Walk out with you! |
| Elsa: | If you won't, I'll choose from the rest — |
| Students: | A big policeman is best! |
| Both: | There's no doubt at all about The fact that we are walking out! Strolling and patrolling Till the "lights out" drum is rolling Down by-ways, off the highways, Where there's no one near to see! |
| Chorus: | Underneath a shady tree! |
| Both: | Straying and delaying, In the park where bands are playing, Both linking arms and winking, Oh! you must go walking out with me! |
| Chorus: | Strolling and patrolling Till the "lights out" drum is rolling Down by-ways, off the highways, Where there's no one near to see! |
| Both: | Though perhaps there ought to be! |
| Chorus: | Straying and delaying, In the park where bands are playing, Both linking arms and winking, Oh! you must go walking out with me! |
| Otto: | If any night or day Duty calls your soldier love away, I shall pine to see your face divine! Couldn't we be there to help you pine? |
| Elsa: | When I am left alone, I shall long to welcome back my own! None to comfort me I shall find — None who is kind — |
| Soldiers: | We do not mind! |
| Elsa: | I shall cry for fancies and fears — |
| Soldiers: | We'll come and help dry those tears! |
| Both: | There's no doubt I/you need not pout When it's not my/your Sunday out! Strolling and patrolling Till the "lights out" drum is rolling Down by-ways, off the highways, Where there's no one near to see! |
| Chorus: | Two is company, not three! |
| Both: | Straying and delaying, In the park where bands are playing, Both linking arms and winking, Oh! you must go walking out with me! |
| Chorus: | Strolling and patrolling Till the "lights out" drum is rolling Down by-ways, off the highways, Where there's no one near to see! |
| Both: | And you don't get back for tea! |
| Chorus: | Straying and delaying, In the park where bands are playing, Both linking arms and winking, Oh! you must go walking out with me! |
