STREPHON—But then, upon my honor, that other is my mother.
CHORUS.
Taradiddle, taradiddle, fol lol de lay.
STREPHON—
She wont believe my statement, and declares we must be parted, Although I'm just as true as an Alton train when started; And if she gets another hub, a brakeman, broken-hearted, I shall be, taradiddle dee, taradiddle dee.
QUEEN—
You cruel and heartless counselor to part them from each other; You've done him an injustice, for this lady is his mother.
