No. 15 - Duet - Denise and Comte - "Papa!" Lyrics by Percy Greenbank

[Comte:] Oh, Mad'moiselle, I think I've rather
Offended your father,
But I would like to know if you think
Precisely comme ça.
[Denise:] Well, father has some notions vexing,
I find them perplexing,
In fact I very often do think
Quite the opposite to dear Papa!
Papa!
[Comte:] Papa!
[Denise:] Oh la!
[Comte:] La, la!
[Both:] He really seems to think that you're/I'm to blame.
[Denise:] But there
[Comte:] Yes, there
[Denise:] Is where
[Comte:] That's where
[Both:] Papa and I/you don't think the same!

[Comte:] In spite of his paternal tone here
He's left us alone here;
No doubt he'll come along and scold you
For talking to me.
[Denise:] Yes, father has ideas on flirting,
They're most disconcerting,
But as I have already told you,
With his sentiments I don't agree!
Papa!
[Comte:] Papa!
[Denise:] Oh la!
[Comte:] La, la!
[Both:] Thinks flirting is a deadly dang'rous game.
[Denise:] But there
[Comte:] Yes, there
[Denise:] Is where
[Comte:] That's where
[Both:] Papa and I/you don't think the same!
