[Rufus:]
Dolph thought it better not to tarry,
[All:]

[Knickerbocker:]
She never shall wed Alvin Barry,

Oh, do carry, carry me out.
I am quite shocked, I am quite shocked,
Quite knocked about.
[Violet:]
Dear, oh dear Pop, don't, oh don't drop.
[Alvin:]
Do ah! do stay;
Diplomasee, you will agree, has won the day.
[Knickerbocker:]
'Tis marvelous, oh, it is tremendous;
[Chorus:]

[Chorus:]

[Knickerbocker:]
Ha! Ha! The Little Tycoon she'll be.
[Chorus:]
Ha! Ha! The Little Tycoon she'll be.
Love reigns, love, ah! yes love reigns.
Fate, 'tis, 'tis Fate so ordains.
Love wins; ah, yes, 'tis no dream;
For love reigns ever supreme.
Sweet moments, with joy entranced,
Fly fast, by rapture enhanced;
Passed thus with thee 'tis no dream;
For love reigns ever supreme.
[Knickerbocker:]
Now when I was a boy,
Woman, without alloy,
Was just like my sweet daughter;
Submissive as I've taught her.
To please me now she'll marry
My chosen Alvin Barry;
A man without alloy I've chosen from a boy.
[Chorus:]
'Tis all serene like a calm sea-scene,
With a sailor's ship ahoy, ahoy, ahoy, ahoy.
'Tis all serene like a canned sardine
That was canned for the siege of Troy.
Oh, 'twas when he was a boy.
[Alvin & Rufus:]
Yes, yes, it was from a boy,
Alacazan Mazourka,
Far back in the siege of Troy;
Alacazan Mazourka!
Alvin Barry without alloy,
Alacazan Mazourka,
Was picked out for maiden coy,
As far back as the siege of Troy!
Was picked out for maiden coy,
Yes! Yes!
[Violet:]
Love comes like a summer sigh,
[Chorus:]
Softly o'er you stealing,
[Violet:]
Love comes, and you wonder why
[Chorus:]
To its shrine you're kneeling.
[Violet:]
Love comes and the days go by;
[Chorus:]
While your fate love's sealing.
Love some day must come to all,
Yes, in love all must fall,
Love some day must come to all,
Come to all.
[Violet:]
Oh, yes, I'll be the Little Tycoon,
[All:]
Little Tycoon,
[Violet:]
Oh, yes, I'll be the Little Tycoon,
[All:]
Little Tycoon!
[Violet:]
Oh, yes, I'll live up in the high moon;
[All:]
In the high moon.
[Violet:]
Oh, yes, I'll marry the Great Tycoon!
[All:]
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
[Violet:]
Oh, yes, I'll marry the Great Tycoon!
[All:]
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
And then she will be the Little Tycoon,
Yes, yes, yes, yes, the Little Tycoon.
