No. 6 - Finale Act I

Lyrics by Adrian Ross

[Best Man:] Now we see the carriage stand before the door,
[Men:] Front door,
[Best Man:] It will take the wedded couple
to the station.
So it's au revoir
And not adieu to you,
[Men:] You two,
[Best Man:] From the heart of ev'ry friend
and each relation.
[Chorus:] Goodbye, goodbye,
And a sunny honeymoon
By the merry sea together,
In the very best of weather.
Why, what a lot! to stroll about and spoon,
On an absolutely jolly holiday!
So we wish the happy pair of trippers
Ev'rything that's fortunate and nice,
With a pair of satin dancing slippers,
And a pound of rice.
[Ladies:] Goodbye...
[Men:] So we wish the happy pair of trippers
Ev'rything that's fortunate and nice,
[Ladies:] Good-bye, goodbye...
[Men:] With a pair of satin dancing slippers,
And a pound of rice.
[All:] Goodbye, goodbye,
And a sunny honeymoon
By the merry sea together,
In the very best of weather.
You'll hardly care to come back very soon,
So good luck to you,
And hip, hip, hip, hooray!
Hip, hip, hip, hip, hip, hip, hip, hooray!
Hip, hip, hip, hip, hooray, hip, hooray!
Hip, hip, hip, hip, hip, hip, hip, hooray!
Hip, hip, hip, hip, hip, hip, hip, hooray!
