The Dream - Temple Shirley



Lyrics/Music P.D.



Your highness please forgive me

But something has gone amiss

There is an angry woman outside

To report a stolen kiss



Tell her she must go away

Come around some other day

I have told her, but she won't

You must see her, if you don't

She'll scream her head off

Tell her to hush

She won't be hushed

Then tell her to shush

I'm afraid she won't be shushed



I won't be shushed, I won't be hushed

I know my rights, I know the law

And I know also what I saw

What did you see

I saw him

You saw who, I mean whom

I saw that lad steal a kiss

From that shameless little miss



Don't be fooled by all their shyness

Their a wicked pair your highness

There's a law I understand

Against kissing in this land

There is a law that reads like this

No one is to steal a kiss



Ah but Princess I've a feeling

This is not a case of stealing

Silence fool, I know the law

What I say I saw I saw

What I saw

She's on a see-saw

I saw you saw he saw she saw

On a see saw on a see saw

I saw you saw he saw she saw



What she tells us may be true

And if it is what can we do

If you ask me we should listen

To the lad who did the kissin'



I object t'would not be wise

He would only tell you lies

Let him speak, come lad this way

Now then what have you to say



Please your highness, I confess

When I saw such loveliness

It was too much to resist

I just thought she should be kissed

So I kissed her, kissed her twice

It was very very nice

So he kissed her, kissed her twice

It was very very nice



There you see, he broke the law

What I say I saw I saw

Please don't start all that again

But he stole a kiss that's plain

Yes it looks as if its true

And I'll have to punish you



No please, let me say a word

It is not the way you heard

Please, he did not steal a kiss

I gave it to him, just like this



There you see, I had a feeling

This was not a case of stealing

I'm not sure, its not quite plain

Could I see that kiss again



You were right, I have a feeling

This was not a case of stealing

Right the law has been abused

This lad has falsely been accused

He is hers and she is his'n

That old witch should go to prison



Your a very wicked woman

Princess I am only human

Listen to the old grand mommy

Your a nasty peeping tommy



Banish her from here forever

Never show your face here never

Banish her from here forever

Never show your face here never

What I say I saw I saw

I know my rights, I know the law



Come, and sit beside me here

Your kiss has made things very clear

Thank you Princess

Don't thank me

It was that kiss that set you free



Now we're through with this arrangement

Let us have some entertainment

Bring the dancers bring the singers

Bring the good old welting ringers

------



The new ballerina, she pleases you

She's a very good dancer

She looks familiar too
