The Engagement Party

My dear Simon
You're so gracious
To wish Lisa and Henry both well

Dear Sir Danvers
As you know, Sir
I wish Lisa the sun and the moon
But I have to confess that I wish Henry Jekyll in hell

Henry, at last
What could possibly be more important than your own engagement party?

John, I am close to a breakthrough discovery
Something spectacular, something sublime
Finally, a light in the darkness has come to me
Now it is only a matter of time

Henry Jekyll
you're a devil
You have robbed us of London's most lovely girl

I could turn to drink when I stop to think
Lisa's marrying a doctor instead of an earl
Poor girl

Doctor Jekyll, may I be the first to wish
You and your bride-to-be
Peace and prosperity?

Mr. Stride, it's most civil of you
To say that, as you do
With such patent sincerity
