[Nanna:] If all is as you say-
If honour and wealth and glory
Of ev'ry sort are yours-
[Thora:] In short,
If you're not telling a story-
[Nanna:] If you are a Count some day-
[Thora:] A Baron if you're created,
And all turns out beyond all doubt
Precisely as you've stated-
[Nanna:] Court sculptor and a peer,
With ever-so-much a year,
Precisely, precisely as you've stated-
[Thora:] Physician to the King
With honours and ev'rything,
Precisely, precisely, precisely as you've stated-
[Nanna & Thora:] Then I will be your bride-
[Erling & Tortenssen:] Oh joy!
[Nanna & Thora:] And I your bride will be!
[Erling & Tortenssen:] Then let us make merry,
It's evident, very,
That day we soon shall see-
[Nanna & Thora:] When you are qualified-
[Erling & Tortenssen:] Oh joy!
[Nanna & Thora:] To marry you we agree!
[Erling & Tortenssen:] Oh happy decision!
Oh vision Elysian!
That day we soon shall see!
That day we soon shall see!
That day we soon shall see!

[Tortenssen:] Compared with our own
All others are inkiness!
[Erling:] They are, alone,
Two visions of pinkiness!
[Tortenssen:] Pinkiness, veiled
With ivory pellicle-
[Erling:] Ev'rywhere hailed
As simply angelical!
[Tortenssen:] Simply angelical!
[Erling:] Simply angelical!
[Tortenssen:] Simply angelical!
[Both:] Simply angelical!
gelical! gelical!
Simply angelical!

[Nanna:] That isn't true.
Ridiculous chatterer!
[Thora:] Go along, do,
Unscrupulous flatterer!
[Nanna:] Only a sweet
Individuality!
[Thora:] Dainty and neat,
But merely mortality!
[Tortenssen:] Merely mortality?
[Erling:] Merely mortality?
[Both men:] With such a bewitching individuality?
[Both ladies:] Merely mortality? Merely mortality?
[Both men:] With such a bewitching individuality?
[Both ladies:] Merely two pretty young ladies of quality,
Piquant and pleasant, but merely mortality!
Merely two pretty young ladies of quality,
Piquant and pleasant,
[All:] But merely mortality!
[Both ladies:] Then I will be your bride,
[Both men:] Oh joy!
[Both ladies:] And I your bride will be!
[Both men:] Then let us make merry,
It's evident, very,
That day we soon shall see-
[Both ladies:] When you are qualified-
[Both men:] Oh joy!
[Both ladies:] To marry you we agree!
[Both men:] Oh happy decision!
Oh vision Elysian!
That day we soon shall see!
[All:] That day we soon shall see!
That day we soon shall see!

Precisely, Precisely as you've stated-
Physician to the King
With honours and ev'rything,
Precisely, Precisely, Precisely as you've stated-
