I Shall Scream Lyrics

I Shall Scream lyrics

WIDOW CORNEY 



(spoken) You're a cruel man. And a hardhearted man
besides. 



MR. BUMBLE 



(spoken) Hardhearted, Mrs.
Corney? Hard? Are you hardhearted, Mrs. Corney? 



WIDOW CORNEY 



(spoken) Dear me! What a curious question coming from a single man.


What can you want to know 

for, Mr. Bumble? Mr. Bumble, I shall
scream! 



MR. BUMBLE 



No you wouldn't, heigh ho. 

If I wanted something special, 

Then you couldn't say "no". 

Did
I nearly catch you smiling? 

Yes I did. And it's beguiling. 

If you
hand is close, I'll press it. 

Yes, you like it -- come confess it! 

Yes, you do... 



WIDOW CORNEY 



No, I don't. 



MR. BUBLE 



Yes, you do! 



WIDOW CORNEY 



I shall scream! I shall scream! 

'Til they hasten to my rescue,
I shall scream. 



MR. BUMBLE 



Since there's nobody
that's near us 

Who cold see us. or could hear us? 

If you ask you
can I kiss you 

Say what will my pretty miss do? 



WIDOW
CORNEY 



I shall scream, scream, scream! 



MR. BUMBLE




If I pinch you one pinch -- 

From you shy protective shell


Can I un-inch you one inch? 

Will my blinthesome, buxum beauty 

Let her suitor do his duty? 

Tho' his lap ain't very large, dear 

Sit upon it -- There's no charge, dear. 

Will you sit? 



WIDOW CORNEY 



No, I shan't 



MR. BUMBLE 



Will you sit? 



WIDOW BUMBLE 



I shall scream! I
shall scream! 

For the safety of my virtue I shall sream 

Tho' your
knee is rather cosy, 

See my cheeks are getting rosy. 

You would
have me in your power. -ac
