Lyrics
Take a pair of sparkling eyes
Hidden, ever and anon
In a merciful eclipse
Do not heed their mild surprise
Having passed the Rubicon
Take a pair of rosy lips
Take a figure trimly planned
Such as admiration whets
Be particular in this
Take a tender little hand
Fringed with dainty fingerettes
Press it, press it in parenthesis
Ah! Take all these, you lucky man
Take and keep them, if you can, if you can
Take all these, you lucky man
Take and keep them, if you can, if you can
Take a pretty little cot
Quite a miniature affair
Hung about with trellised vine
Furnish it upon the spot
With the treasures rich and rare
I've endeavoured to define
Live to love and love to live
You will ripen at your ease
Growing on the sunny side
Fate has nothing more to give
You're a dainty man to please
If you are not satisfied, not satisfied
Ah! Take my counsel, happy man
Act upon it if you can, if you can
Take my counsel happy man
Act upon it if you can, if you can
Take my counsel, happy man
Act upon it if you can, if you can, if you can
Act upon it if you can
Happy man, if you can
