Capitolo 35

Listen to the hit of horn of the horn!
  Cut that throwing sugared almonds!
There! My new overcoat has lacerated--
  Glances as a shred of spaghetti.

Cut that throwing sugared almonds!
  You look at the gentleman, stewed;
Glances as a shred of spaghetti--
  Don't become so very ill-mannered!

Look at the gentleman, stewed!
  Look to flash him/it some rocket!
You don't become so very ill-mannered,
  Hold out Your hand of my pocket!

Look to flash him/it some rocket!
  Take that thing of my face!
Hold out Your hand of my pocket!
  This is a shame and the dishonor.

Take that thing of my face!
  Curse you! Be decent to gentleman!
This is a shame and the dishonor,
  Worse that traditions of Hades.

Curse you! Be decent to gentleman!
  (Skies! that woman is strong.)
Worse that traditions of Hades
  Look fixed to the crowd "benevolent!"



I cannot pay That Prize


Nearby to a table frugal, although immaculate clean and white,
A loving couple they sat and all seemed pleasant, completely;
They didn't have away any servant the things to take,
For him it was but a mediator that many money it didn't do.

    (Changes of key to smaller.)

He lit up a cigar of fifty-cent and then his/her wife said:
"Your life assurance will fall if it you don't pay."
He turned from her in pain, to break his/her heart was,
And in a half barytone to her says, partly:

    CHOIR:

"I cannot pay that prize, I will have to allow to go him;
He/she fills me with remorse and it is distressed, not to mention the pain.
Although I am rather strong and healthy, and it will survive him/it to, perhaps,
I cannot pay that prize;  I will have to allow to fall him."

His wife her nothing responded, for him you cut her/it to the express;
You washed the dishes, full the lamp, and likewise it repaired the wick;
You taken in to wash next day and silence of played bridge every night,
Until her it had enough to pay the prize of his/her husband, completely.

           (Changes of key to smaller)

Her husband that he has been thrown next day by his/her au-to-mo-bile,
And even if rather solitary it made his/her touch of widow,
