NANK.: Were you not to KoKo plighted,
I would say in tender tone,
"Loved one, let us be united--
Let us be each other's own!"
I would merge all rank and station,
Worldly sneers are nought to us,
And, to mark my admiration,
I would kiss you fondly thus.
BOTH: I/He would kiss you/me fondly thus--
YUM. But as I'm engaged to KoKo,
To embrace you thus, con fuoco,
Would distinctly be no gioco,
And for yam I should get toco--
NANK.: Toco,
YUM.: Toco,
NANK.: Toco,
YUM.: Toco,
NANK.: Toco,
YUM.: Toco,
NANK.: Toco,
YUM.: Toco,
BOTH: Toco!

NANK. So, In spite of all temptation,
Such a theme I'll not discuss,
And on no consideration
Will I kiss you fondly thus--
Will I kiss you fondly thus.
Let me make it clear to you,
This is what I'll never do!
This, oh, this, oh, this, oh, this,--
This is what I'll never, never do!
BOTH: This, oh, this, oh, this, oh, this,--
NANKI.: This is what I'll never do!
YUM.: He'll never do!
NANKI.: I'll never do!
YUM.: He'll never do!
NANKI.: Oh, this,
BOTH: This is what he'll/I'll never, never do!
