No. 10 - Duet - Barry and Sophie - "Two Little Chicks."

Lyrics by Paul A. Rubens

[Barry:] Two little chicks lived in a farmyard,
Happy as chicks can be;
[Sophie:] She was a Dorking proudly stalking,
Only a bantam he.
[Barry:] He was a most superior bantam,
And he adored her true;
[Sophie:] But she was proud, and cried out aloud,
"Now what in the world are you?"
[Barry:] "Chick, chick, chick, chick,
won't you marry me, chick?
Be my little wife," said he;
"Chick, chick, chick, chick."
[Sophie:] "You're a very free chick;
Wait a little bit," said she.
[Barry:] "Give me one kiss," said the little he chick.
What is more he kissed her too.
[Sophie:] "Let me be, chick," said the she chick,
"Cock-a-doodle, that'll doodle-do!"

[Sophie:] Those little chicks went up to London,
Off to the Smithfield show;
She very gaily, boasted daily,
"I'll get a prize you know!"
To her amazement, bold little bantam,
He carried off first prize;
[Barry:] "What carries weight,
I beg to state, is plenty of blood, not size!"
"Chick, chick, chick, chick, won't you marry me, chick?
"Be my little wife," said he;
"Chick, chick, chick, chick."
[Sophie:] "You're a very free chick;
Wait a little bit," said she.
[Barry:] "Give me one kiss," said the little he chick.
What is more he kissed her too.
[Sophie:] "Let me be, chick," said the she chick,
"Cock-a-doodle, that'll doodle-do!"

[Barry:] Both little chicks came back from London,
Back to their home once more,
He cock-a-hoopy, she rather croupy,
Felt very sick and sore.
But little bantam was so forgiving,
[Sophie:] Offered his claw again.
Both in the church, soon took their perch,
Then off to the South by train!
[Barry:] "Chick, chick, chick, chick,
won't you marry me, chick?
"Be my little wife," said he;
"Chick, chick, chick, chick."
[Sophie:] "You're a very free chick;
Wait a little bit," said she.
[Barry:] "Give me one kiss," said the little he chick.
What is more he kissed her too.
[Sophie:] "Let me be, chick," said the she chick,
"Cock-a-doodle, that'll doodle-do!"
