And taste a pickled lime with me, my dear.

I’ll tell thee lots of scandal and of fashion,

And whisper in thine ear my tale of passion;

For I’m in love; in love with a dear feller

I met one night while seeing Cinderella.

Oh, such a dear! dear me, I’m in a flutter.

He’s young and rich, and sweet as fresh June butter:

His name is Romeo; he’s the idol of the town;

I’ll sing his praise. Prythee, dear, come down.

Romeo (outside), L. sings.
