No. 6 - Trio - Victoria, Henry, and Pedro - "Round the Corner."

Lyrics by Paul A. Rubens and Percy Greenbank

[Henry:] You're looking very sweet,
Can't we arrange to meet
Somewhere by and by?
[Victoria:] It's rather hard to say
If I can slip away--
Still, I'll have a try.
[Pedro:] Surely there must be lots and lots
Of quiet spots you know.
[Victoria:] But all the other men, you see,
Might follow me also.
[All:] Wherever can we go?
[Henry:] Meet me round the corner,
Round the corner when
There's no one looking.
[Victoria:] I'll wait round the corner
Where the other man can't follow me.
[Pedro:] Just like Jacky Horner,
We must try and find a cosy corner,
[All:] Well, round the corner,
Where the other fellows round the other corner
Can't see!

[Henry:] There's just a word or two
I want to say to you
When we're quite alone.
[Victoria:] Ah, yes! You are perhaps
One of those nervous chaps--
Not the first I've known.
[Pedro:] I want to gaze into your eyes,
It's hardly wise just here.
[Victoria:] I see you want a quiet chat--
We'll manage that, my dear!
[All:] When no one else is near!
[Henry:] Meet me round the corner,
Round the corner when
There's no one looking.
[Victoria:] I'll wait round the corner
Where the other man can't follow me
[Pedro:] Just like Jacky Horner,
We must try and find a cosy corner,
[All:] Well, round the corner,
Where the other fellows round the other corner
Can't see!
