[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 comingFrom a single man.What can you want to knowFor, 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. BUMBLE]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 usWho cold see us. or could hear us?If you ask you can I kiss youSay 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 shellCan I un-inch you one inch?Will my blinthesome, buxum beautyLet her suitor do his duty?Tho' his lap ain't very large, dearSit upon it -- There's no charge, dear.Will you sit?[WIDOW CORNEY]No, I shan't[MR. BUMBLE]Will you sit?[WIDOW CORNEY]I shall scream! I shall scream!For the safety of my virtue I shall screamTho' 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 canAnd you'll pardon if I mentionYou must state your true intention.[MR. BUMBLE]Is there not another room here?[WIDOW CORNEY]No![MR. BUMBLE]If there would be a bride and groom here --- would there be?[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 wentWhen we Come to an agreementAs my lovey-dovey is chubbyCould she love a chubby hubby[WIDOW CORNEY]I shall scream, Mr. Bumble!I shall scream, Bumble-Wumble!I shall scream, scream, scream!
