May It Please You

May it please you, my lud!
Gentlemen of the Jury!

With a sense of deep emotion
I approach this painful case
For I never had a notion
That a man could be so base
Or deceive a girl confiding
Vows, et cetera, deriding

(He deceived a girl confiding)
(Vows, et cetera, deriding)

See my interesting client
Victim of a heartless wile!
See the traitor all defiant
Wear a supercilious smile!
Sweetly smiled my client on him
Coyly woo'd and gently won him

(Sweetly smiled her client on him)
(Coyly woo'd and gently won him)

Swiftly fled each honeyed hour
Spent with this unmanly male!
Camberwell became a bower
Peckham an Arcadian Vale
Breathing concentrated otto!
An existence à la Watteau

(Breathing concentrated otto!)
(An existence à la Watteau)

Picture, then, my client naming
And insisting on the day
Picture him, picture him, excuses framing
Going from her far away
Doubly criminal to do so
For the maid had bought her trousseau!

(Doubly criminal to do so)
(For the maid had bought her trousseau!)

Cheer up, my pretty
Oh, cheer up!
(Cheer up, cheer up, we love you!)
Love me! (Cheer up, my pretty)
Love me! (Oh, cheer up!)
(Cheer up, cheer up, we love you!)

Love me! (Cheer up, cheer up)
(We love you)
Love me! (Cheer up)
