[Richard] You understand?
[Despard] I think I do;
With vigour unshaken
This step shall be taken.
It's neatly planned.
[Richard] I think so too;
I'll readily bet it
You'll never regret it!

[Both] For duty, duty must be done;
The rule applies to every one,
And painful though that duty be,
To shirk the task were fiddle de dee!
To shirk the task were fiddle de dee!
To shirk the task,
To shirk the task were fiddle de,
fiddle de,
fiddle de,
fiddle de,
fiddle de,
fiddle de,
fiddle de dee!

[Despard] The bridegroom comes:
[Richard] Likewise the bride;
The maidens are very
Elated and merry;
They are her chums.
[Despard] To lash their pride
Were almost a pity,
The pretty committee!
[Both] But duty, duty must be done;
The rule applies to every one,
And painful though that duty be,
To shirk the task were fiddle de dee!
To shirk the task were fiddle de dee!
To shirk the task,
To shirk the task were fiddle de,
fiddle de,
fiddle de,
fiddle de,
fiddle de,
fiddle de,
fiddle de dee!
