The D'Oyly Carte Opera Company

The Sorcerer: Why, Where Be Oi, And What Be Oi A Doin'

VILLAGERS STRETCH THEIR ARMS, YAWN, RUB THEIR EYES, AND SIT UP.

MEN.
Why, where be oi, and what be oi a doin',
A sleepin' out, just when the dews du rise?

GIRLS.
Why, that's the very way your health to ruin,
And don't seem quite respectable likewise!

MEN. (staring at girls)
Eh, that's you!
Only think o' that now!

GIRLS. (coyly)
What may you be at, now?
Tell me, du!

MEN. (admiringly)
Eh, what a nose,
And oh, what eyes, miss!
Lips like a rose,
And cheeks likewise, miss!

GIRLS. (coyly)
Oi tell you true,
Which I've never done, sir,
Oi loike you
As I never loiked none, sir!
Eh, but oi du loike you!

MEN.
If you'll marry me,
I'll dig for you and rake for you!

GIRLS.
If you'll marry me,

I'll scrub for you and bake for you!

MEN.
If you'll marry me,
all others I'll forsake for you!

ALL.
All this will I du,
if you marry me!

GIRLS.
If you'll marry me,
I'll cook for you and brew for you!

MEN.
If you'll marry me,
I've guineas not a few for you!

GIRLS.
If you'll marry me,
I'll take you in and do for you!

ALL.
All this will I du,
if you'll marry me!
All this will I du,
if you'll marry me!

GIRLS.
Eh!

ALL
Eh! but I du loike you!
