MR. W.: Or I or he
Must die!
Which shall it be?
Reply!
SIR M.: Die thou!
Thou art the cause of all offending!
DR. D.: Die thou!
Yield thou to this decree unbending!
ALL: Die thou! Die thou! Die thou!
MR. W.: So be it! I submit! My fate is sealed.
To popular opinion thus I yield!
Be happy all: leave me to my despair.
I go: it matters not with whom, or where!

MEN. Oh, my adored one!
LADIES. Beloved boy!
MEN. Ecstatic rapture!
LADIES. Unmingled joy!

SIR M.: Come to my mansion, all of you! At least
We'll crown our rapture with another feast!

AL., LADY. S., AX. & SIR M.: Now to the banquet we press,
Now for the eggs and the ham!
Now for the mustard and cress,
Now for the strawberry jam!

CON., MRS. P., DR. D. & NOT.: Now for the tea of our host,
Now for the rollicking bun!
Now for the muffin and toast,
And now for the gay Sally Lunn!
Now for the muffin and toast,
And now for the gay Sally Lunn!

CHORUS: The eggs and the ham,
And the strawberry jam,
The rollicking bun,
And the gay Sally Lunn!
The eggs and the ham,
And the strawberry jam,
The rollicking bun,
And the gay Sally Lunn!
The eggs and the ham,
And the strawberry jam,
And the rollicking bun!
The rollicking bun,
And the gay Sally Lunn,
And the strawberry jam,
Jam, Bun,
Jam, Bun,
Oh, the strawberry, strawberry jam.
Bun, Jam,
Bun, Jam,
Oh, the rollicking, rollicking bun!
