I Once Was a Very Abandoned Person
DUET. – DESPARD AND MARGARET. DES. I once was a very abandoned person MAR. – Making the most of evil chances. DES. Nobody could conceive a worse 'un MAR. – Even in all the old romances. DES. I blush for my wild extravagances, But be so kind To bear in mind, MAR. - We were the victims of circumstances! (DANCE.) That is one of our blameless dances. I was once an exceedingly odd young lady DES. – Suffering much from spleen and vapours. MAR. Clergymen thought my conduct shady DES. – She didn't spend much upon linen-drapers. MAR. Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com It certainly entertained the gapers. My ways were strange Beyond all range DES. – Paragraphs got into all the papers. (DANCE.) We only cut respectable capers. I've given up all my wild proceedings. MAR. My taste for a wandering life is waning. DES. Now I'm a dab at penny readings. MAR. They are not remarkably entertaining. DES. A moderate livelihood we're gaining. MAR. In fact we rule A National School. DES. The duties are dull, but I'm not complaining. (DANCE.) This sort of thing takes a deal of training!
