| AY 'twas here on this spot | B |
| In that summer of yore | C |
| Atalanta did not | B |
| Vote my presence a bore | C |
| Nor reply to my tenderest talk She had | D |
| heard all that nonsense before | C |
| - | |
| She'd the brooch I had bought | B |
| And the necklace and sash on | E |
| And her heart as I thought | F |
| Was alive to my passion | G |
| And she'd done up her hair in the style that | H |
| the Empress had brought into fashion | G |
| - | |
| I had been to the play | I |
| With my pearl of a Peri | C |
| But for all I could say | I |
| She declared she was weary | C |
| That the place was so crowded and hot and | J |
| she couldn't abide that Dundreary | C |
| - | |
| Then I thought Lucky boy | K |
| 'Tis for YOU that she whimpers | I |
| And I noted with joy | K |
| Those sensational simpers | I |
| And I said This is scrumptious a | L |
| phrase I had learned from the Devonshire shrimpers | I |
| - | |
| And I vowed 'Twill be said | M |
| I'm a fortunate fellow | N |
| When the breakfast is spread | M |
| When the topers are mellow | N |
| When the foam of the bride cake is white | O |
| and the fierce orange blossoms are yellow | N |
| - | |
| O that languishing yawn | P |
| O those eloquent eyes | I |
| I was drunk with the dawn | P |
| Of a splendid surmise | I |
| I was stung by a look I was slain by a tear | C |
| by a tempest of sighs | I |
| - | |
| Then I whispered I see | I |
| The sweet secret thou keepest | O |
| And the yearning for ME | I |
| That thou wistfully weepest | O |
| And the question is 'License or Banns ' | - |
| though undoubtedly Banns are the cheapest | O |
| - | |
| Be my Hero said I | Q |
| And let ME be Leander | C |
| But I lost her reply | Q |
| Something ending with gander | C |
| For the omnibus rattled so loud that no | N |
| mortal could quite understand her | C |
