No. 22 - Duet - Stephanie and Laski, with Chorus - "Change Partners."

Lyrics by Adrian Ross

[Laski:] If we marry ever as I trust,
[Stephanie:] You're so very clever that we must.
[Laski:] Say you will love me still,
Never flirt with any other!
[Stephanie:] If a very pretty man I see,
[Laski:] It would be a pity that should be.
[Stephanie:] Then my dear, do not fear!
I'll regard him as a brother!
[Chorus:] She'll regard him as a brother!
[Both:] Life's a dance, let me (so you) take one!
Men advance, why not (must you) take one?
What can hurt if I/you flirt
When I'm true still to you?
[Chorus:] Change partners, change partners,
Life is but a ball;
You can reach a hand to each,
You can throw a smile to all!
Change partners, change partners,
Till the ball is past,
But you/I have had the first dance,
And he/she shall have the last!
And he/she shall have the last!

[Stephanie:] When we're on our married honeymoon,
[Laski:] That trip will be carried out quite soon.
[Stephanie:] You must mind I don't find
You have seen a girl and kiss'd her!
[Laski:] If of any little girl I'm fond,
[Stephanie:] Is your love a brittle worthless bond!
[Laski:] Then my sweet, I entreat
You'll regard her as a sister!
[Chorus:] Please regard her as a sister!
[Both:] Life's a dance, so you (let me) take one!
Girls advance, must you (why not) take one?
What can hurt if you/I flirt
When I'm true still to you?
[Chorus:] Change partners, change partners,
Life is but a ball;
You can reach a hand to each,
You can blow a kiss to all!
Change partners, change partners,
Till the ball is past,
But you/I have had the first dance,
And he/she shall have the last!
And he/she shall have the last!
