Nemorino:
Well, thanks to you, I've got the tin
My dear Adina for to win.
This shilling, please to understand,
Will purchase dear Adina's hand.
Belcore:
When you within my clutches come,
I'll tie you up to the beat of drum.
With bump and whack, and thump and crack,
The cat shall lacerate your back.
Both:
For it's flog along, boys, flog along, boys,
Flog along, boys, for the cat'll make a noise.
Flog along, boys, flog along, boys,
Flog along, boys, Hurrah!
Nemorino:
Adina's hand will soon be mine,
I feel as though I'm drunk on wine.
No goal in life could rank above
The need to win in war and love!
Belcore:
Revenge on you I'll have in full.
You've made me angry as a bull.
You woo the girl that I adore
And all is fair in love and war.
Both:
For it's flog along, boys ...etc.
(Dance and exit together.)
