[Nora:]
We will take our wedding trip upon the Nile,
Our trip upon the Nile,
Our trip upon the Nile,
[Clive:]
And we'll make it last for quite a little while,
Yes, quite a little while,
Yes, quite a little while!
[Chorus:]
If the boat breaks down,
you needn't make a fuss,
You needn't make a fuss,
You needn't make a fuss,
But you'll take a penny hippopotamus,
But you'll take a penny hippopotamus,
And in style you'll defile down the Nile!
He's the Messenger Boy with his jaunty air
And his cheeky stare,
He's the lad we ought to employ,
Quite a model Messenger Boy;
He's the Messenger Boy with his jaunty air
And his cheeky stare,
He's the lad we ought to employ,
So ring the bell for the Messenger Boy!
