Sequenced by Colin Johnson

If somebody there chanced to be
Who loved me in a manner true,
My heart would point him out to me,
And I would point him out to you.
But here it says of those who point--
Their manners must be out of joint--
You may not point--
You must not point--
It's manners out of joint, to point!

Ah! Had I the love of such as he,
Some quiet spot he'd take me to,
Then he could whisper it to me,
And I could whisper it to you.
But whispering, I've somewhere met,
Is contrary to etiquette:
Where can it be
Now let me see--
Yes, yes!
It's contrary to etiquette!

If any wellbred youth I knew,
Polite and gentle, neat and trim,
Then I would hint as much to you,
And you could hint as much to him.
But here it says, in plainest print,
"It's most unladylike to hint"--
You may not hint,
You must not hint--
It says you mustn't hint, in print!

Ah! And if I loved him through and through--
(True love and not a passing whim),
Then I could speak of it to you,
And you could speak of it to him.
But here I find it doesn't do
To speak until you're spoken to.
Where can it be?
Now let me see--
Yes, yes!
"Don't speak until you're spoken to!"
