No. 6 - Duet - Amasis & Anhotep - "Tell me you hate all other men."

Lyrics by Frederick Fenn

[Anhotep:] Tell me you hate all other men,
I'll ask no love of you.
[Amasis:] Suppose I should discover then
You'd not enough for two.
[Anhotep:] I think there'll be a great uproar--
I may be told to pack.
[Amasis:] But if they shut the great front door,
I'll let you in the back.
[Anhotep:] The back,
[Amasis:] The back,
[Both:] The back, I'll/you'll let you/me in the back.

[Anhotep:] I dare not swear upon my life
How far my love might carry me,
[Amasis:] But if I say I'll be your wife,
I know you'll want to marry me.
[Anhotep:] My life's in peril if I speak,
I don't want to alarm you.
[Amasis:] Oh, I shall die within a week
If anything should harm you.
[Anhotep:] Harm me,
[Amasis:] Harm you,
[Anhotep:] me,
[Both:] If anything should harm you/me.

[Anhotep:] One little token you must give,
One kiss, half tears, half laughter!
[Amasis:] This hour is heaven, though we live
Unhappy ever after.
[Both:] One little token you must give,
One kiss, half tears, half laughter!
This hour is heaven, though we live
Unhappy ever after, after, after,
Unhappy ever after.
