Oliver! - 1994 london palladium cast - 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 If I sat here for an hour... MR. BUMBLE I shall scream, scream, scream! WIDOW CORNEY You're a naughty bad man If you think I can't be proper Prim and haughty -- I can And you'll pardon if I mention You must state your true intention MR. BUMBLE Is there not another room here? WIDOW CORNEY No! MR. BUMBLE WIDOW CORNEY Well there might MR. BUMBLE We shall see WIDOW CORNEY I shall scream! I shall scream! At the thought of what you're thinking, I shall scream! MR. BUMBLE You will wonder where the scream went When we come to an agreement As my lovey-dovey is chubby Could she love a chubby hubby? WIDOW CORNEY I shall scream, Mr. Bumble! I shall scream, Bumble-Wumble! I shall scream, scream, scream
