Lyrics I Shall Scream - Georgia Brown, Martin Horsey, Keith Hampshire

I Shall Scream

You’re a cruel man.
And a hardhearted man besides.
Hardhearted, Mrs. Corney?
Hard?
Are you hardhearted, Mrs. Corney?
Dear me!
What a curious question coming
from a single man.
What can you want to know
for, Mr. Bumble?
Mr. Bumble, I shall scream!
No you wouldn’t, heigh ho.
If I wanted something special,
Then you couldn’t say no.
Did I nearly catch you smiling?
Yes I did.
And it’s beguiling.
If you hand is close, I’ll press it.
Yes, you like it -- come confess it!
Yes, you do…
No, I don’t.
Yes, you do!
I shall scream!
I shall scream!
'Til they hasten to my rescue, I shall scream.
Since there’s nobody that’s near us Who cold see us.
or could hear us?
If you ask you can I kiss you
Say what will my pretty miss do?
I shall scream, scream, scream!
If I pinch you one pinch --
From you shy protective shell
Can I un-inch you one inch?
Will my blinthesome, buxum beauty
Let her suitor do his duty?
Tho’his lap ain’t very large, dear
Sit upon it -- There’s no charge, dear.
Will you sit?
No, I shan’t
Will you sit?
I shall scream!
I shall scream!
For the safety of my virtue I shall sream
Tho’your knee is rather cosy,
See my cheeks are getting rosy.
You would have me in your power.
If I sat here for an hour…
I shall scream, scream, scream!
You’re a naughty bad man.
If you think I can’t be proper,
Prim and haughty -- I can
And you’ll pardon if I mention
You must state your true intention.
Is there not another room here?
No!
If there would be a bride and groom here --- would there be?
Well there might.
We shall see.
I shall scream!
I shall scream!
At the thought of what you’re thinking, I shall scream!
You will wonder where the scream went
When we ome to an agreement
As my lovey-dovey is chubby
Could she love a chubby hubby?
I shall scream, Mr. Bumble!
I shall scream, Bumble-Wumble!
I shall scream, scream, scream!
