if somebody there chanced to be - gilbert and sullivan lyrics

if somebody there chanced to be
who loved me in a manner true
my heart would point him out to me
and i would point him out to you
but here it says of those who point
their manners must be out of joint
you may not point –
you must not point –
it’s manners out of joint
to point!
ah!
had i the love of such as he
some quiet spot he’d take me to
then he could whisper it to me
and i could whisper it to you
but whispering, i’ve somewhere met
is contrary to etiquette:
where can it bе
now let me see –
yes, yеs! it’s contrary to etiquette!

if any well*bred youth i knew
polite and gentle, neat and trim
then i would hint as much to you
and you could hint as much to him
but here it says, in plainest print
“it’s most unladylike to hint” –
you may not hint
you must not hint –
it says you mustn’t hint
in print!
ah!

and if i loved him through and through –
(true love and not a passing whim)
then i could speak of it to you
and you could speak of it to him
but here i find it doesn’t do
to speak until you’re spoken to
where can it be?
now let me see –
yes, yes! “don’t speak until you’re spoken to!”
