VERSE 01: If you adore a frosty maid/ And are afraid Your love to speak,/ If when you meet you ownest girl/ Your senses whirl Your knees grow weak/ This is I think the thing for you/ At once to do/ To end your doubt Try at a ball,/ To tell her all And let the music help you out.
CHORUS: Ask her while the band is playing/ let the cornet speak for you/ while the cello sweet and mellow aids the winsome maid to woo/ What you think you'd like to tell her./ Let the soulful oboe play/ Ask her while the band is playing/ She'll never say you nay.
VERSE 02: If with your special precious pet/ You've chanced to get Into a spat,/ Then for a week of dark distress/ You've failed to guess. Where you are at,/ If woe and grief both dark and grim/ Unto the brim/ Have filled your cup/ Then at a ball, For mercy call/ And let the music back you up!
