WIDOW CORNEY

(spoken) You're a cruel man. And a hardhearted man besides

MR. BUMBLE

(spoken) Hardhearted, Mrs. Corney? Hard? Are you hardhearted, Mrs. Corney?

WIDOW CORNEY

(spoken) Dear me! What a curious question coming from a single man
What can you want to know
For, Mr. Bumble? Mr. Bumble, I shall scream!

MR. BUMBLE

No you wouldn't, heigh ho
If I wanted something special
Then you couldn't say "no"
Did I nearly catch you smiling?
Yes I did. And it's beguiling
If you hand is close, I'll press it
Yes, you like it -- come confess it!
Yes, you do...

WIDOW CORNEY
No, I don't

MR. BUBLE

Yes, you do!

WIDOW CORNEY

I shall scream! I shall scream!
'Til they hasten to my rescue, I shall scream

MR. BUMBLE

Since there's nobody that's near us
Who cold see us. or could hear us?
If you ask you can I kiss you
Say what will my pretty miss do?

WIDOW CORNEY

I shall scream, scream, scream!

MR. BUMBLE

If I pinch you one pinch --
From you shy protective shell
Can I un-inch you one inch?
Will my blinthesome, buxum beauty
Let her suitor do his duty?
Tho' his lap ain't very large, dear
Sit upon it -- There's no charge, dear
Will you sit?
WIDOW CORNEY

No, I shan't

MR. BUMBLE

Will you sit?

WIDOW BUMBLE

I shall scream! I shall scream!
For the safety of my virtue I shall sream
Tho' your knee is rather cosy
See my cheeks are getting rosy
You would have me in your power
If I sat here for an hour...

MR. BUMBLE

I shall scream, scream, scream!

WIDOW CORNEY

You're a naughty bad man
If you think I can't be proper
Prim and haughty -- I can
And you'll pardon if I mention
You must state your true intention
MR. BUMBLE

Is there not another room here?

WIDOW CORNEY

No!

MR. BUMBLE

WIDOW CORNEY

Well there might

MR. BUMBLE

We shall see

WIDOW CORNEY

I shall scream! I shall scream!
At the thought of what you're thinking, I shall scream!

MR. BUMBLE

You will wonder where the scream went
When we come to an agreement
As my lovey-dovey is chubby
Could she love a chubby hubby?

WIDOW CORNEY

I shall scream, Mr. Bumble!
I shall scream, Bumble-Wumble!
I shall scream, scream, scream
