 |
MIDI File [16Kb, 1' 33"] |
| Chorus. | ||
| Ring, ye joybells, long and loudly, | ||
| Happy hearts together tied — | ||
| Bridegroom's breast is swelling proudly | ||
| As he takes his blushing bride, Blushing bride, Blushing, blushing, Blushing, ever blushing bride! |
||
Enter MAGUIRE.
(Spoken through music)
Maguire (furiously). It's off! It's off!
Woodpecker. What's off?
Maguire. The wedding! I won't have it!
SONG
| Maguire. | ||
| You've kept us all waiting outside! | ||
| Such insults I never foresaw | ||
| You've insulted your beautiful bride — | ||
| You've insulted your father-in-law! | ||
| You've insulted our excellent guests — You've pooh-poohed the connubial knot — |
||
| You've insulted the flyman Who'd drive you to Hymen — |
||
| By George, you've insulted the lot! | ||
| Chorus. | ||
| Yes, yes, yes, | ||
| By George, you've insulted the lot! | ||
| Maguire. | ||
| It's off! Her affection's misplaced! | ||
| Chorus. | ||
| It's off! | ||
| Maguire. | ||
| It's off! such a man I disown! | ||
| Chorus. | ||
| It's off! | ||
| Maguire. | ||
| It's off! Take your arm from her waist! | ||
| Chorus. | ||
| It's off! | ||
| Maguire. | ||
| It's off! let the lady alone! | ||
| Chorus. | ||
| It's off! | ||
| Maguire. | ||
| And to your beautiful bride, who belongs To a father who never ignores |
||
| Insults by the dozen, She'll marry her cousin — |
||
| Here, Foodle, be happy — she's yours! | ||
| Chorus. | ||
| Yes, yes, yes, | ||
| Here, Foodle, be happy — she's yours! | ||
MARIA goes weeping to FOODLE, who embraces her.
| Maguire & Chorus. | ||
| Ring! Ring! Ring! | ||
| Bridegroom's breast is swelling proudly | ||
| As he takes his blushing bride, Blushing bride, Blushing, blushing, Blushing, ever blushing bride! |
