Soldiers’ Gossip (#2)
[TORASSO]
Both of them were soaked to the skin
[RIZZOLLI]
Where had they been?
[AUGENTI]
On the bluff
[LOMBARDI]
Were they all alone?
[TORASSO]
No one knows
[LOMBARDI]
You don't suppose-?
[BARRI]
Ugh!
[RIZZOLLI]
Gentlemen, enough!
[TORASSO]
Still, it would explain Signora's attitude
[AUGENTI]
Why she comes to every meal
[BARRI]
It isn't for the veal
[TORASSO]
And it would explain the Colonel's gratitude
[LOMBARDI]
I hear he calls him "Giorgio"
[RIZZOLLI]
But nobody is that brave
[AUGENTI]
No, that's cheek
[RIZZOLLI]
Nobody is that brave
[LOMBARDI]
Wouldn't you like to peek?
[TORASSO]
Ugh!
[BARRI]
Gentlemen, I think I'll change my wager:
He'll be Major next week
[RIZZOLLI]
I'll say!
[ALL]
I'll say!
I'll say!
