Stay, We Must Not Lose Our Senses |
| FREDERIC: Stay, we must not lose our senses; |
| Men who stick at no offences |
| Will anon be here! |
| Piracy their dreadful trade is; |
| Pray you, get you hence, young ladies, |
| While the coast is clear |
| GIRLS: No, we must not lose our senses, |
| If they stick at no offences |
| We should not be here! |
| Piracy their dreadful trade is-- |
| Nice companions for young ladies! |
| Let us disap-- |
| GIRLS: Too late! |
| PIRATES: Ha, ha! |
| GIRLS: Too late! |
| PIRATES: Ho, ho! |
| Ha, ha, ha, ha! |
| Ho, ho, ho, ho! |
| Here’s a first-rate opportunity |
| To get married with impunity, |
| And indulge in the felicity |
| Of unbounded domesticity. |
| You shall quickly be parsonified, |
| Conjugally matrimonified, |
| By a doctor of divinity |
| Who is located in this vicinity. |
| GIRLS: We have missed our opportunity |
| Of escaping with impunity; |
| So farewell to the felicity |
| Of our maiden domesticity! |
| We shall quickly be parsonified, |
| Conjugally matrimonified, |
| By a doctor of divinity, |
| Who is located in this vicinity. |
| ALL: By a doctor of divinity, |
| Who resides in this vicinity, |
| By a doctor, a doctor, a doctor of divinity, of |
| divinity. |
