[Jeanette]
   [Speaks as she writes ]
   There is nothing doing at night!
   [Stops writing ]
   That's silly! What can I write?
   [Writes again]
   How I wish that you could be here!
   [Stops writing]
   That's stupid! Can't think!
   Oh, dear!
   I wish someone could help me!
   Writing always makes me nervous!
   [Maurice]
   If Mademoiselle forgives me-
   I am at her service!
   [Jeanette]
   Oh!
   [Maurice]
   Oh-I'm sorry! Allow me!
   [Jeanette]
   It's such a stupid letter!
   [Maurice]
   I'll be indebted if you let me help you
   [Jeanette]
   Oh, no! I'd be the debtor!
   What can I write?
   It's so hard for me.
   Night after night
   Is dull as can be.
   L'm writing to a girlfriend,
   My little Marie!
   [Maurice]
   Let me see! Let me see!
   Why don't you write this
   As I dictate it.
   [She writes as he dictates]
   I have met the one man, my dear!
   [Jeanette]
   Who is it?
   [Maurice]
   [continuing to dictate ]
   On a visit here!
   I am so excited tonight!
   [Jeanette]
   Excited?
   [Maurice]
   And delighted! Dear!
   He is so distinguished and sweet,
   Very debonair yet discreet!
   He's the height of fashion!
   [Jeanette]
   [continuing to write]
   My passion's at fever heat!
   [Maurice]
   He's so modest all of the while,
   [Jeanette]
   Oh, very!
   [Maurice]
   With a merry smile.
   He is made of iron. He's tall.
   [Jeanette]
   Gigantic!
   [Maurice]
   With romantic style!
   He's a Julius Caesar in mind
   With Apollo's beauty combined.
   So, my little friend, you see
   He's the very man for me!
   [Jeanette]
   I'll sign my name!
   [Maurice]
   It' s easy to see
   This little note
   Is sweet as can be.
   It's sure to please your
   Girlfriend, your
   Little Marie!
   Now read it for me,
   Read it for me!
   [Jeanette]
   [reading]
   I have met a foolish young man
   [Maurice]
   Who is it?
   [Jeanette]
   On a visit here!
   I'll get rid of him if I can.
   [Maurice]
   I'm choking.
   [Jeanette]
   I'm not joking, dear.
   He is undistinguished and plain!
   Very unattractive yet vain!
   And he needs a shaking!
   [Maurice]
   I'm taking
   The first fast train!
   [Jeanette]
   All he does is grin like a mule!
   [Maurice]
   I'm frowning.
   [Jeanette]
   He's a clowning fool!
   He could never learn how to love!
   [Maurice]
   I'll grow to-
   [Jeanette]
   He should go to school!
   He's a simple Simon in mind.
   To describe his looks is unkind.
   So, my little friend, you see
   He is not the man for me.
