No. 8 - Trio - "When once I get hold of a good-looking He."

Lyrics by Harry Greenbank

[Lady Virginia:] When once I get hold of a good-looking He,
With a balance at Coutts' sufficient for me;
Or an Indian Prince who has stayed with the Queen,
And whose diamonds are really the biggest I've seen--
Now matter how much or how little I know of him,
Take it for granted I never let go of him!
[Sir Lewis:] Never oh, never,
[Dr. Brierly:] She never, no never,
[All:] no, never lets go of him!

[Sir Lewis:] When once I get hold of some popular case,
A divorce that involves any Duke in disgrace,
Or a "Card-Sharping Scandal," or "Serious charge,"
Putting seats on the Bench at a premium large--
Now matter how much or how little I know of it,
Take it for granted I never let go of it!
[Lady Virginia:] Never oh, never,
[Dr. Brierly:] She never, no never,
[All:] no, never lets go of him!

[Dr. Brierly:] When once I get hold of a patient who'll pay
And who likes me to visit him three times a day,
Or a wealthy dyspeptic in need of my care,
Or a liver that's owned by a millionaire--
Now matter how much or how little I know of him,
Take it for granted I never let go of him!
[Lady Virginia:] Never oh, never,
[Sir Lewis:] He never, no never,
[All:] no, never lets go of him!

[Lady Virginia:] When once I get hold of an artist in dress,
Who can make me look twenty or possibly less,
Or a hairdresser skilled in the tricks of his trade,
Who produces the newest Parisian shade--
Now matter how much or how little I know of him,
Take it for granted I never let go of him!
[Sir Lewis:] Never oh, never,
[Dr. Brierly:] She never, no never,
[All:] no, never lets go of him!
