[Dame:] Now all that we've agreed upon, O-
And all that's passed between us-
No human soul must know,
Be he a friend or foe.
[Mats Munck:] You lean no broken reed upon, O-
In Courts of Law and Venus
(I've practiced much in both)
I'm always on my oath!
[Dame:] What always?
[Mats Munck:] Always!
[Dame:] Always?
[Mats Munck:] Always!
Always on my oath!
You'll find I am
Discreetly dumb,
So trust me, ma'am-
[Dame:] The word is mum-
[Mats Munck:] Of all I know
I'll give no clue,
You little roguey poguey, you!
You little roguey poguey!
[Dame (spoken):] Sir!
[Mats Munck:] You little roguey poguey!
[Dame (spoken):] Sir!!
[Mats Munck:] You roguey poguey, roguey poguey, roguey poguey!
[Dame (spoken):] Sir!!!
[Mats Munck's words:] If called upon in charity, O-
To justify my visitor,
I'll quote my popularity, O-
As a family solicitor!
[Dame:] As a family,
[Mats Munck:] family,
[Dame:] family,
[Mats Munck:] family,
[Both:] family solicitor!

[Dame:] Your tone is not professional, O-
It's neither grave nor courtly:
Such lack of commonsense
Inspires no confidence.
[Mats Munck:] By gradual steps progressional, O-
I'll reach the haven shortly;
But till the moment sweet
I'll never be indiscreet.
[Dame:] What never?
[Mats Munck:] Never!
[Dame:] Never?
[Mats Munck:] Never!
Never be indiscreet!
Those lips command,
And I obey,
Though close at hand
That joyous day
When I may sip
Their honey dew,
You little pipsy wipsy you!
You little pipsy wipsy!
[Dame (spoken):] Sir!
[Mats Munck:] You little pipsy wipsy!
[Dame (spoken):] Sir!!
[Mats Munck:] You pipsy wipsy pipsy wipsy pipsy wipsy!
[Dame (spoken):] Sir!!!
[Dame's words:] Although of men's vulgarity, O-
I'm no unfair inquisitor,
I hate familiarity, O-
In a family solicitor!
[Dame:] In a family,
[Mats Munck:] family,
[Dame:] family,
[Mats Munck:] family,
[Both:] family solicitor!

As a family, family, family, family,
