[WIDOW CORNEY (spoken)]

You're a cruel man
And a hardhearted man besides

[MR BUMBLE(spoken)]

Hardhearted, Mrs Corney? Hard?
Are you hardhearted, Mrs Corney?

[WIDOW CORNEY (spoken)]

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!

[MR BUMBLE]

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

[WIDOW CORNEY]

No, I don't

[MR BUBLE]

Yes, you do!

[WIDOW CORNEY]

I shall scream! I shall scream!
'Til they hasten to my rescue, I shall scream

[MR BUMBLE]

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?

[WIDOW CORNEY]

I shall scream, scream, scream!

[MR BUMBLE]

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?

[WIDOW CORNEY]

No, I shan't

[MR BUMBLE]

Will you sit?

[WIDOW BUMBLE]

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

[MR BUMBLE]

I shall scream, scream, scream!

[WIDOW CORNEY]

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

[MR BUMBLE]

Is there not another room here?

[WIDOW CORNEY]

No!

[MR BUMBLE]

If there would be a bride and groom here --- would there be?

[WIDOW CORNEY]

Well there might

[MR BUMBLE]

We shall see

[WIDOW CORNEY]

I shall scream! I shall scream!
At the thought of what you're thinking, I shall scream!

[MR BUMBLE]

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?

[WIDOW CORNEY]
I shall scream, Mr Bumble!
I shall scream, Bumble-Wumble!
I shall scream, scream, scream!
