[Hake:]
When you're out on the spree it's a first rate plan
To make sure that you see all the fun you can.
You know what I mean?
[Chorus:]
Yes, we know what you mean.
[Hake:]
And I ain't never been to a water fête
So I want to be posted and up to date,
You know what I mean?
[Chorus:]
Oh, we know what you mean.
[Hake:]
Well, what's the proper thing to do?
Fancy dress? eh?
[Chorus:]
You stick to us, we'll pull you through.
See you don't stray.
[Hake:]
Good girls! that's right,
We'll have some fun tonight;
All the plans I leave to you,
Paint the town Venetian blue;
I'll pay my way--
I mean to see the show.
When the Water Fête begins, I mean to--
You know!
[Chorus:]
Good girls! that's right,
We'll have some fun tonight;
All the plans he leaves to you,
Paint the town Venetian blue;
He'll pay his way--
He means to see the show.
When the Water Fête begins, he means to--
You know!
[Hake:]
If I chance on a maiden to cast my eye
Who is not too demure and who's not too shy,
You know what I mean?
[Chorus:]
Yes, we know what you mean.
[Hake:]
You'll remember I wish to be left alone,
I'll dispense with the aid of a chaperone,
You know what I mean?
[Chorus:]
Oh, we know what you mean.
[Hake:]
For I intend to make things hum,
That's my game! See?
[Chorus:]
You'll find us all both deaf and dumb,
Most discreet, we.
[Hake:]
Good girls! that's right,
We'll have some fun tonight;
Don't forget my wealth's immense,
Paint the town at my expense,
I'll pay my way--
Because I like to show
All the world Sir William Hake is quite the--
You know!
[Chorus:]
Good girls! that's right,
We'll have some fun tonight;
Don't forget my wealth's immense,
Paint the town at my expense,
I'll pay my way--
Because I like to show
All the world Sir William Hake is quite the--
You know!
